Talking about affection in the food world has become commonplace. Good. We do increasingly need a caring eye for others. But not everyone can speak about it with as much authority as Mima restaurant, run by Afrânio Montenegro and Lícia Maranhão. Yes, the name comes from the verb “mimar” (to pamper), and for those who know the duo, it couldn’t make more sense. The care is visible in every object, element, piece of decor, dish and drink. The contemporary food is healthy, well presented and free of unnecessary frills. The visual system conveys the simplicity and coziness of a home rather than a restaurant. From colors to textures, every element was chosen to welcome the eye, slow the pace and stretch time. You didn’t need another reason to visit Maceió, but now you have one more.
