"So nice and friendly environment. Market right there. Pure Porto Alegre atmosphere"

"A lovely little place just off the public market in the historic district. The didn't have Sangria on the menu, but I had a hankering for it and they were able to oblige. Worth stopping in if you're shopping."
Randy Kamradt
"old fashioned dishes and service, dubiously comforting while at the same time annoyingly uncreative (exception: caipirinha's with pink pepper!) but why built an unnecessary air-conditioned, ugly addition, leaving a beautiful old hall deadly warm? dirty restrooms like NYC's worst in Chinatown."
