This is one of the most amazing places we have been lucky enough to visit! Nested in the hills of Minas this restaurant is built in an old train cart, how it got there, in the middle of nowhere has yet to be answered. The view overlooks the nature reserve of Minas, and olive and eucalyptus tree farms. The food is something else, so if you go to minas make sure you find Penitente station.
