Concierge "Nestled in a private jungle of jackfruit, mango, and star fruit trees, this artfully designed eatery became Santa Teresa's first gourmet restaurant when it opened in 1996."

View junkies should ask for a table on the house veranda, or on the patio tables outside by the bar.
DK Eyewitness "This open-air restaurant specializes in seafood and traditional Brazilian dishes like galinhada caipira (chicken risotto with mineiro sausage, chicory, and beans)."

The shady garden with its soothing birdsong provides a relaxing setting in which to sip one of the special cachaças and choose from a menu that offers a whole host of delicious dishes from right across Brazil.
Fodor's "A tropical garden filled with exotic plants, monkeys, and birds is the spectacular setting for this family restaurant serving pan-Brazilian dishes." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "While Aprazível’s menu features traditional recipes from various corners of Brazil, some of the best are from Castilho’s home state of Minas Gerais, especially the galinhada." Full review
