Belo Horizonte Gastronomy

Belo Horizonte preserves the tradition of Minas Gerais cuisine, loaded with history, simple ingredients and a lot of creativity, and is recognized worldwide for its originality and seasoning. Coffee, cheese bread, craft beers, cachaça and regional cheeses are some of the outstanding products of the local gastronomy.

The Mercado Central (Central Market), located in the heart of the city with 400 shops, brings together what is most expressive of Minas Gerais culture, from the craft cheeses to the best cachaça in Brazil, as well as local craftwork.

Surprising in gastronomic innovation there is the BeGreen, the first urban farm in Latin America. A space to cultivate experiences and a more sustainable life, sharing knowledge and marketing agro-ecological foods.

It also stands out due the various gastronomic festivals, in addition of being recognized with the World Capital of the Bars.
