At this edge-of-town hideaway, run by the same family for nearly two decades, everything is lovingly homemade – roast chicken, pork cheeks, artisanal linguiça (garlicky pork sausage), home-smoked trout and classic mineira specialties. The real tour de force is the sumptuous all-you-can-eat weekend buffet, which includes everything from leitão a pururuca (crispy roast marinated pork) to homemade cookies. Bring your appetite!
