Mariana Restaurant Tips by elsadran

Damagio

Damagio is a self service restaurant until 4:00pm. After that, it stays open late serving fast food, pizzas and drinks. It is frequented by young people. There is tasty local food in the buffet and it's very cheap. It costs 5R$ a kilo with one piece of meat, and 6,5R$ a kilo with two pieces...! It's funny they define prices by the pieces of meat!
Just have it in mind when everything else is closed.

Restaurante Rancho

It is one the best self service restaurants I have been to in this trip. It looks a place of quality. There is a lot of delicious-looking food in their pots and their barbecue and a rich salad buffet!! The staff is very attentive and polite!
On weekdays it functions as a self service from 11:00 until 3:00 in the afternoon. On weekends and holidays it stays open until 11:00 pm serving a la Carte .
Its cuisine is traditional of Minas. They serve pizzas, too.
Eating from the buffet costs 17R$ a kilo and you can serve yourself as many times as you like!

Restaurante Gaveteiros

The whole place looks neat and tidy. The pots boiling over the wood fire and the colourful buffets are good reasons to stay for lunch.
Wonderful tastes, excellent appearance, great variety. There are salads, all kinds of meat and vegetable dishes, pizzas, and sweets. All have a homely touch. Great!
It is in front of the Cathedral de Se across the big square.
You pay 19R$ for each kilo of food you consume...or you can have just one plate for 20R$!
It's open from 12:00 to 16:00.
