Insider tip
The menu rotates daily, so go hungry and flexible, skip planning a specific dish and instead ask staff what's freshest. The warm cinnamon drink and salad are free, so factor those in before you order extras. Arrive before 1pm to beat the lunch rush and get first pick of the buffet.
The area
Bairro Alto is the old bohemian quarter, historically the city's nightlife heart, increasingly the restaurant scene has taken over, and the steep streets hide some of the most interesting cooking in the centre.
