Sabor de Minas Restaurant

This place is a tiny little local restaurant with maybe 4 tables, and most of their business is take-out, but we had a great time. We went on a Saturday, so the special we had was roasted chicken with very crispy skin, with sides of rice, beans, cassava flour, greens, and fried banana (it was actual sweet banana, not plantain). We also had a beef pastel. So so so delicious! I'm going to be thinking about that chicken for weeks. Very nice people at the counter, and we navigated pretty well even with us not speaking much Portuguese and them not speaking a ton of English. Will go back here for sure!

Great place, downtown had no parking and crazy traffic to meet someone so I called them and said I knew a quite neighborhood place off by self where always friendly (even if I speak no Portuguese.)

Great daily meat specials. Real good sides. Friendly to this customer who doesn't speak any Portuguese, got what wanted even with no common language.

I just ordered the daily special and the portion was massive! It’s my first time trying Brazilian food that was not a steakhouse. I have to say this is way better. The pork was tender and goes so well with the beans. The little pickled berries gives a bit of spice and sourness. It was amazing.

Cozy casual place, genuine fresh home-cooked food with heart, rotating “plates of the day” menu, amazing and kind staff. Very authentic brazilian food. Standouts were Feijoada and Tilapia for me, but honestly everything is good. If you’re not brazilian just order the plate of the day with all the sides and fix-ins. They also serve steak and caramelized onions as a main dish every day if you like. 10/10 recommend!
