Viradas do Largo
Rua do moinho, 11. 32 3355-1111. also known as restaurante da beth beth's restaurant this place is slightly off the tourist trail but well worth a visit for fine examples of typical mineiro regional food such as the tropeiro beans. the dishes are expensive for local standards r$ 50-55 for two but well prepared and well-served: a plate for two may well fill up three people.
Pasta & cia
Rua frederico ozanan, 327. fone: 32 3355-1478. home-made pasta, nice for when you want to take a break from those all-brazilian dishes.
