Alquimia dos Sabores

Alquimia dos Sabores is strategically located at Largo das Forras, offering a delightful blend of regional cuisine and a pleasant ambiance. While primarily a restaurant, its cafe section and outdoor seating are quite popular for remote work, particularly during off-peak meal times. The decor is refined and comfortable, with ample space between tables, ensuring a degree of privacy. The outdoor patio, with views of the square, is particularly appealing for those who enjoy working al fresco. Their coffee is excellent, complementing a menu featuring traditional Minas Gerais dishes, light snacks, and tempting desserts. It's an ideal spot for a working lunch or an extended afternoon work session. The typical crowd leans towards tourists and local families enjoying a meal, so the noise level can fluctuate but rarely becomes disruptive for focused work. Service is attentive, and they are generally accommodating of those using laptops. For remote workers, aiming for late mornings or mid-afternoons is best for a more serene experience. The ability to seamlessly transition from coffee to a full meal without changing locations is a major plus.
