The menu is a highlight in itself, with popular options that tantalize the taste buds. As one customer, Christiane Primo, mentions, the “waffle de pão de queijo” is a must-try. Combining the unique flavors of Minas cheese and smoked chicken breast, this dish is crowned with perfectly melted mozzarella and finished with a slight char from the torch, creating a delightful contrast of textures. While the waffle's deliciousness is universally acknowledged, be prepared for it to cool down quickly, so dive in as soon as it arrives!
