Known for the bucolic landscape and the delightful cooking carefully prepared on a wood-burning stove, the Mirante Imperial restaurant attracts not only visitors traveling through the historical Serra do Piloto, but also local inhabitants.

The restaurant is in the property known as Sítio Três Rios, and owners Marcelo and Marcos, both of whom are therapists also run on this spot Centro de Terapias Integradas Tamãi and Pousada Mirante Imperial.

The specialty of the house is chicken stew, served with okra or cassava, yet there are other options to stimulate the palate and rouse the sense of smell. The food served is selected, always fresh and prepared with refinement. On Sundays, the attraction is the feijoada (black bean stew), which has won over patrons who became frequent customers. A caiçara (fishing community inhabitants) menu is being prepared, much in demand throughout the Costa Verde region.

Beverages that go with the meals include soft drinks, fruit juice, beer and fruit cocktails. Home-made desserts also complete the copious meals. Prices are accessible and the personal service is recommended. Following a robust meal, suggestions include a freshly made coffee and visiting the venue’s pleasant environment and its lookout spot with an impressive panorama, from where even the sea at Mangaratiba may be viewed.
