Restaurante Xapuri

This was one of the best meals on my trip.. More than just the food, the grounds, service and atmosphere were incredible, TOP!

If you are in BH you have to make sure you get here!

Xapuri is the perfect place to enjoy a very authentic comida mineira in Belo Horizonte. It is a big place, excellent for groups, family and kids. At the same time, the service is very efficient and fast. I would recommend the "picanha", frango a molho pardo (chicken on its own blood sauce - open your mind, it is really amazing!) and frango com quiabo (chicken stew with okra). As an appetizers, the "dadinho de tapioca" (tapioca cubes) with local jam is really good!

Amazing food! Had the "picanha" with fantastic side dishes of okra (best okra ever), kale (best kale ever) and farofa and fried bananas. Everything is delicious. The location is beatiful and looks like a Brazilian farm. Laid back and a feels nothing like the big city outside. Great place to unwind and have some great food. The desserts are incredible and deserve a review of their own.

Very authentic mineiro food. Beautiful location great for groups. We had 3 courses in a group of 10 and it was $R80 each. Very close to a beautiful lake which is great for a walk before or after.

It may be a little out of the way for a tourist, but it is a MUST for anyone traveling to Belo Horizonte. Minas Gerais is known for their food, and this is Minas at its best. The food is good, and the atmosphere is rural Brazilian, rounded off with little monkeys, called micos, and horses for good measure. A pleasurable experience every time, with exceptional food. : )

For a full Minas food experience this is the best place in town. Their food food is just amazing, I love their Frango ao Molho Pardo (chicken in Brown sauce), for a starter the linguiça com cebolas (sausage with onion) is a good call. This is absolutely a place to go and spend some time with no hurry. The decoration is beautiful. Great also for kids as they have a mini farm in the back. Lovely!

A little far from the city center, which makes it more local! Food and service were great. Very local, run by their owners. They prepare their own sausages and jams. Good to go with friends, for business, or with family. They have a playground for kids and even horseback riding classes!

One of the best steaks I have had in my life. great ambiance and very hospitable staff. And the most fun part having all those small little monkeys roaming around. Definitely a must go if you are in belo.
