Hotel E Pousada Carvalho Conselheiro Lafaiete

Review by hotel critic

Pousada Carvalho is a unique find for culinary enthusiasts craving a getaway. During my recent stay, I was particularly struck by the breakfast spread, showcasing a blend of local ingredients that resembled Japan's meticulous artistry in flavors. Each morning, I enjoyed freshly baked bread alongside a selection of regional cheeses, which took me back to exploring rustic eateries in Tokyo. The restaurant's ambiance felt intimate yet inviting, much like a charming ryokan. Sipping on expertly crafted cocktails from the bar in the evening was a good experience, reminding me of the late-night izakayas I frequent in Tokyo. While the accommodation was comfortable, it was the culinary innovation that stood out. My dining experience unfolded like a well-composed tasting menu, prompting me to reflect on the cultural significance of food as a bridge between tradition and creativity. For those seeking a rich gastronomic experience, Pousada Carvalho is an excellent destination.
