Great atmosphere, service and overall nice place. The food was authentic and large portions were served. Would highly recommend for people seeking to try local Brazilian food. Long running Brazilian restaurant offering a traditional menu and a variety of caipirinhas. Good service, nice ambiance. Had the small pastel (empanada) appetizer and the steak, rice and beans. Quality ingredients, but under seasoned. This restaurant was recommended to me by a Brasilian friend, and it happened to be 4 min walk from my apartment. I came here for a solo dinner and ended up having a blast with another person who was also dinning solo. Next day i came back and got to meet the owners, a lovely couple. Food was really tasty, great atmosphere, and really affordable too. Would definitely recommend!

🍽️ Dinner in São Paulo – Traditional Brazilian Cuisine 🇧🇷 Tonight, we dined at a restaurant featured in the Michelin Guide, known for its traditional Brazilian dishes. We were recommended several must-try items—but overall, the experience felt a bit underwhelming. ✨ Moqueca Capixaba de Peixe e Camarão – A classic Brazilian seafood stew with fish and prawns simmered in a tomato and annatto broth, served bubbling in a clay pot. It came with a side of rice, reminiscent of Chinese-style meals. While the presentation was inviting, the flavor lacked depth—mainly salty, but missing aromatic richness. 🥩 Costelinha de Porco Confitada, Arroz de Feijoada e Couve – Grilled pork ribs with brown rice and kale. Unfortunately, the dish was quite one-note—monotonous and not particularly flavorful. 🥟 Assorted Pastries – We started with a mix of savory pastries filled with shrimp, jerked beef, marinated vegetables, and coalho cheese drizzled with cane molasses. While visually appealing, none of them stood out as especially unique or memorable. 🧀 Fried Manioc Balls with Homemade Cheese – Decent texture and mildly satisfying, but again, nothing to rave about. 🥘 Meat Simmered for 10 Hours in a Sealed Clay Pot – Served with grilled plantain and manioc flour, this was described as a must-try. Sadly, it too fell short—tender, yes, but lacking complexity and depth of flavor. 🍷 We paired the meal with some Brazilian wine, which was pleasant, but the food overall leaned heavily on salt and lacked the layered spices or bold tastes we were hoping for. Communication was also a challenge, as the staff spoke limited English, which made ordering a bit tricky. While it’s always great to explore local cuisine, this particular experience didn’t quite live up to expectations. Sometimes, Michelin doesn’t always mean magic ✨

Be ready to get in line to dine here. You are given a token at the entrance . It's preferred you stick around since they don't collect phone numbers to call. You can also book in advance. There is valet parking which is very convenient. The food options are great ! I was lucky enough to be around on the day Fejoada was served! Highly recommend visiting this place for authentic Brazilian food.
