Beth is in her fifties and is almost always behind the self-service counter, helping her diners decide on the best homecooked option. Catering mostly to suits who work in Itaim Bibi, this buffet joint offers a selection of salads and dressings, fish, chicken and beef creations, and comforting sides such as spinach or corn in white sauce, kale, or grilled vegetables and bananas. Wednesdays and Saturdays feature the traditional feijoada, and a light version with the pork and black beans served separately. If you have room for dessert, you won’t be disappointed by the flan or the coconut mousse.
