“ July/2025 Top restaurant. Well-prepared Minas Gerais cuisine, with dishes such as sausage, ribs with guava paste, oxtail with polenta, tripe stew, tongue, roast beef with Madeira sauce, roast pork leg, among other typical Minas Gerais dishes. All of excellent quality and seasoning. Buffet options "by weight" or "all you can eat" with good value for money, with prices around R$60–90.00 per person. It's well-served, with several options of typical Minas Gerais cuisine. The environment is spacious, airy and welcoming, ideal for those with family. The children loved the outdoor space, and the free parking was very convenient. Excellent service, courteous and attentive staff from beginning to end, always with a smile on their face. Welcoming family atmosphere. Without a doubt, if you're in Penedo and want to experience authentic Minas Gerais cuisine with excellent service, Mineirão is an excellent choice.

“ Great experience! The gentleman who attends at the buffet entrance explains everything about what's on the lunch menu with a smile, ALWAYS. The waitresses at the tables are also always helpful and friendly. Easily accessible location right at the entrance to Penedo. There's a children's area in the outdoor space accompanied by adults. There are two types of lunch to choose from: 1st Self-service by weight (79.90 kg) 2nd All-you-can-eat buffet (59.90 kg) I went for the weight option, for two people plus 3 cans of Coca-Cola and a still water, and the desserts in the photos, it came to 110.00. We had lunch the next day and didn't get dessert, but we drank an H2O limoneto, it came to 77.00. ”

“ We were there with the children during the July holidays. There's a playground next door and a large parking area. The food is very tasty with a great variety, fair price, pleasant atmosphere, attentive staff, and Mr. Rogério, the owner, is a fantastic host. He always greets you whenever possible right at the entrance and when you leave, he makes a point of thanking you for your visit. You don't see that often! A great differentiator!
