Bruno Guimaraes and Brazil manager Tite delighted staff at Jesmond restaurant when they popped in for lunch.
The Newcastle United midfielder and Brazil's head coach enjoyed a private meal together at Rio Brazilian Steakhouse in Jesmond on Friday afternoon (October 28). It comes as the Brazillian player gets set to take on Aston Villa at home on Saturday, his second match since becoming a father for the first time.
Staff at the restaurant said Bruno is a regular customer as he enjoys its Brazilian dishes that remind him of the food back home.

Rodrigo Grassi, co-owner of Rio Brazilian Steakhouse, said: “We are always very proud to welcome all our customers through the door but especially when it is living Brazilian football legends as Bruno and Tite.
"The whole team were very excited to cook our delicious meats and serve in the traditional Brazilian gaucho way straight off the churrasco.”
But it's not the first time Burno has been spotted at Newcastle's restaurants during his time at the club. The 24-year-old was recently pictured at Miller & Carter in the city centre where he was enjoying a meal with his family and has also been pictured there with fellow Brazilian Joelinton.
