One of the best experiences and food you can find in São Paulo! We were there for lunch, we had no bookings, so we just showed up at 12 on the dot. We were able to get a table. The staff was extremely welcoming and professional from the beginning. We started with some drinks, and my wife had the Limonada da Paola, which reminds me of a lemon, lime, and bitters. Was very good! I had a caipirinha, with excellent cachaça and extremely well executed. My compliments to the bartender. For the entrees, we had the carpaccio. It was fresh, light with an amazing flavour. The execution was impeccable. We also had the Terrine Maison, which was balanced and with an amazing flavour. It paired so well with the rose wine we had. For the mains, my wife had the ricotta ravioli with tomato sauce. It was perfect... I can't describe it in any other way. The pasta was thin and light, and the sauce was sweet and not watery. I had the fish of the day. That was a Robalo (Sea bass). The waitress suggested ordering a side. A linguine with butter sauce. The pairing was amazing. Both dishes were excellent in so many ways. I couldn't find an issue. In the end, we ordered that pavlova, and even living in Australia for 7 years, that was the best pavlova I ever had. The espressos at the end were from extremely good sourced coffee beans. The restaurant is not cheap, but it delivers everything you paid for. I would like to congratulate the chef Paola and all the staff for the amazing service and ambience.

tl;dr: organic, sustainable food, amazing wines and fair prices Their façade does a good job of hiding what's inside, I'd never think it was a fine dining place if I didn't know better (not a complaint at all). The intimate, tranquil ambiance sets the mood for what's to come. Some nice Argentinian music invites you to order some wine while you browse the menu. It's a short menu, and to the point. Not like those endless menus which leave you confused. Depending on what kind of wine you ordered, the waiters will suggest dishes which harmonize with it (nice!). They focus on organic, locally sourced ingredients, and sustainable options whenever possible. Dishes taste fresh and my steak was cooked absolutely perfectly. Their prices are quite fair for what you get (even their carte de vins doesn't contain ludicrously expensive wines like some other places), especially considering the owner is a celebrity in Brazil. I had a very good time here and would return often if I could!

É horrível. Atendimento péssimo, fila para sentar, quando chega a comida vem nadando em óleo e com cabelo.

Restaurante de bairro, antigo, garçons antigos, público antigo, cheio, mas com bom atendimento e boa comida. Porções generosas e preço justo, de entrada dão de cortesia umas pequenas empanadas fritas deliciosas e sequinhas. Recomendo!
