D.O.M.

November 18, 2025

This was the place every person told us to come and eat at. We had a lunch here and the food was good. Not sure I would say it’s the best in town, but definitely up there.

Every time we travel to Sao Paulo, we dine at D.O.M. The tasting menu this time celebrated D.O.M.'s 25th anniversary. Each dish was superb, and elegantly presented. One of the desserts, Grandma's pudding and cajá, was almost too pretty to eat. Thanks to all the staff for their warm and welcoming service.

It was lovely. Contrary to what some reviews mentioned, the food arrived very quickly—almost a little too fast for us. Otherwise, the staff were super friendly, and it was a great experience overall.

By far the greatest dining experience I’ve ever had. There are meals you simply eat, and then there are meals that take you somewhere someplace primal, elegant, a little mysterious and leave you different than when you sat down. D.O.M. in São Paulo is that kind of place. The kind of restaurant that doesn’t just serve food, but orchestrates an experience with the precision of a cult and the soul of a poet. From the first moment, you know you’re in for something rare. They don’t just swap plates between courses; they change the entire tablecloth. New textures. New colors. New moods. Every course begins with a small transformation of the world in front of you. No explanation, no ceremony just quiet mastery. I had the 10-course tasting menu, and each dish felt like a story told in a language you don’t fully speak but somehow understand. Caviar served on chilled stones beautiful, stark, almost ritualistic. Warms you up like a secret handshake. Then the broths: clear, delicate, layered in ways that make you shut up and pay attention. Greens perched in a pool of shimmering liquid, like something foraged at dawn in a place humans aren’t meant to go. Other plates looked like living art, geometric, precise, shimmering under soft light. One dish arrived covered entirely in glossy bubbles, like a creature resting on the plate. Another paired immaculate fish with a broth so clean it felt like a confession. Then came the meat course: lacquered, tender, arrogant in its perfection. Slow, deep flavors that hit you like truth. It’s the kind of dish that makes you put the fork down afterward and wonder how anything else in your life will measure up. The pacing, the silence, the choreography of the staff, every detail was handled with a kind of reverence. This isn’t hospitality. It’s devotion. And São Paulo — this frenetic, beautiful beast of a city — melts away when you’re at D.O.M. Inside, the world shrinks down to a steady heartbeat. You taste more clearly. You listen more closely. You remember why people travel for food in the first place. D.O.M. isn’t just the best meal I’ve had in Brazil. It’s the best dining experience I’ve had, period New York, Tokyo, Paris, all of it. This one stands alone.

First time at a Michelin star rated restaurant and it was quite the experience. I really appreciated the intention to the local, age old cooking techniques with a modern twist. Very good stories from each of the 12 courses. Really a different experience than anything else I have had for dinner. Eat the ant!
