Welcome to Dona Neia, a hidden gem located in the heart of Jardim Planalto, Mogi Guaçu, Brazil. This inviting eatery sits at Rua Aristides Lealdine, 156, where the aromas of traditional Brazilian cuisine greet you at the door.

While my recent visit was marred by some service confusion—an experience echoed in the review from a customer named Tati Segurança do Trabalho—the dishes that emerged from the kitchen undeniably showcased the culinary prowess of Dona Neia. It’s clear that this venue caters to families, as evidenced by Tati's daughter receiving a delightful discount, making it an appealing option for parents looking to treat their little ones without wracking up a hefty bill.

The standout aspect of Dona Neia is undoubtedly the flavors that adorn their plates. Although my own order, a prato feito (PF), didn’t arrive as promptly as I'd hoped, the anticipation only heightened my craving for that authentic home-cooked taste. The PF, carefully assembled by the staff, is a popular choice for patrons seeking a hearty meal, and I can only imagine the comforting fusion of textures and flavors it offers.

The essence of Dona Neia lies in the passion for culinary tradition fused with a warm, family-friendly atmosphere. As I watched other diners enjoy their meals, I could sense the joy that comes from communal dining—it’s a reminder of why food is so often tied to our fondest memories.

In conclusion, Dona Neia may have some room for improvement in its service approach—perhaps introducing a system like comanda could streamline the ordering process. However, the promise of a robust menu filled with hearty Brazilian fare makes it well worth the visit. I look forward to returning, eager to finally experience that tantalizing prato feito and bask in the comforting vibe that this charming restaurant has to offer.
