Glouton is the leading upscale restaurant in Belo Horizonte — a small, deliberately stripped-back room in Lourdes where chef Leo Paixão cooks a modern Brazilian menu that draws on Minas Gerais ingredients but pushes them into less familiar territory. The tasting menu changes constantly; the wine list leans Brazilian and South American.
It is one of the few restaurants in the city that consistently appears in national best-of lists, and a reservation a week or two ahead is normally needed. Smart casual; one room only.
