Empório com Arte

This mineiro (from Minas Gerais state)-run highlight of the Foz scene ('scene' used loosely) is full of country charm and swarming with town sophisticates gossiping among a potpourri of mostly Minas Gerais art and handicrafts (all for sale). Decent espresso, elaborate mixed-fruit caipirinhas made with local cachaça, and a few elaborate main courses (eg duck confit in dark beer reduction) make for rustic-romantic encounters.
