• My favorite restaurant ever

This is by far my favorite restaurant. It is wonderful in more ways than I can explain. The food is incredibly delicious. It feels fresh, nothing artificial about it. It feels great going down and tastes SO GOOD. Never in my life have I seen such variety! The food is set up buffet style. There was food on the back porch, on the side porch AND inside of the house. There were greens, lentils, beans, soups, stews, rices, desserts, salad and so much more. The setting is gorgeous and tranquil. The people are warm and friendly. We learned that they grow most of what they serve and most of what they serve is also organic. It was like I died and went to restaurant heaven. It is actually on a plantation. One of the owners gave us a tour, showing us how they grow various foods and spices. We were in Brazil, traveling from the US, and knew almost no Portuguese. They made us feel really welcome. They are not right in town. Since we had no car, we took a taxi to get there. But, it only took us about fifteen minutes from Ponte Negra. Unfortunately, they are only open on weekends, but they do deliver food during the week. I loved the setting, loved the people and LOVED the food. Updated from previous review on 2016-09-11
