Best steak tartare in the world. As an appetizer, I recommend the escargots or salmon tartare. It's hard, but try not to stuff yourself with the freshly baked bread and patê they serve as the couvert.
Great place to take sushi-haters when you're in the mood for raw fish--their cooked dishes are just as fabulous. Only place in SP that serves oh toro sashimi. And "brigadeiro" in a martini glass.
The Wine Cellar Dinner Menu is reserved for private events in an intimate setting, and the resulting food-gasm is incomparable. Hackleback caviar, butter-poached lobster, sautéed duck breast, oh my!
Who says a sandwich can't be a party? Wheat bread, roast beef, watercress, cheddar & house dressing--For a while I convinced myself all I needed in life was this sandwich and Nip/Tuck.
The truffle fries are simply divine. Paired with the fried oysters, you have a match made in foodgasm heaven.
Let's be honest. Does anything even taste better than chili cheese fries at 4 AM?!
Frighteningly expensive, but one of the few places worth the price AND the calories. Take home the mozzarella, basil & lemon ravioli. Who needs a couch when you have the ultimate COMFORT food?
The La Frontera Tacos are the best tacos I've EVER had. Okay, so I used to live in Virginia, not really the beacon of Tex-Mex food. But did you EVER think you'd find bangin' tacos in Brazil? Yup.
The best ice cream I've ever had in the world. I am so far from joking right now. Try as many flavors as you want (the staff is lovely) and settle for a serving of Avocado and Pistachio. SERIOUSLY.
Get ready to forget all the ice cream you have ever tasted before. Try the "Pinguino" with Pistachio gelato--a generous scoop of heaven dipped in homemade dark chocolate magic shell sauce.
Adorable little place with good food to boot! I recommend the pastéis to start, followed by the steak with creamy cheese sauce baggies (pictured). Walk around Vila Madalena afterwards to digest :-)
The Kobe burgers just exude juice and flavor when you bite into them. The flavors combine perfectly to make the best gourmet burger... ever. Try not to cry, because you'll never want it to end.
The salmon salad is OUT OF CONTROL. Smoked salmon + lettuce + dijon mustard sauce + dill cream cheese + potatoes + avocado + poached egg in a deep, feel good bowl. Takes the "lame" out of salad.
Getting off an overnight flight has never tasted so good. The Chicken Caesar panini tastes like heaven (especially after an airplane dinner), and is heated just right. Start your day just right.
You can't go wrong with this unassuming hotel restaurant--so much so that we wined and dined there for 4 days in a row. I recommend the Caprese salad, salmon carpaccio with mussels and any pasta dish.
By now you must have realized the temaki is a Brazilian institution. At Temakeria & Cia, choose from one of the more exotic combinations, or opt for a divine, big, and fairly-priced Salmão Completo.
Don't settle for a churrascaria in São Paulo, go for the RIO deal. The meats are absolutely divine, and the salad bar would make a vegetarian feel at home. I recommend the blue-ribbon Picanha.
Die hard barbeque fan? Fuhgheddaboutit. Ribs that have been steamed for 24 hours and that subsequently melt in your mouth is the way to go. Squeeze some lime juice on them for the full experience.
If you are a born and bread (HA!) sandwich eater, give this place a go--pick your bread, meat, cheese, and spread from a nearly endless list of choices. Tip: Ciabatta bread goes well with everything.
Lamb. With saffron rice. I'm so satisfied right now I can barely type this. Oh, and start with the Coalhada Seca, which can be described as the nectar of the gods (with a slight taste of sour cream).
Dr. Tchê, the owner and resident griller at La Parilla, takes his meat very seriously. Skip the appetizers and go straight to what matters: fraldinha and melt-in-your-mouth beef ribs.
Largest mussels I've ever seen in a magic butter & white wine sauce + rare & thinly sliced magret de canard + ile flotante make for the happiest ending you can buy for only R$ 50 during Resto Week.
The truffled oyster sushi tastes like love feels. Follow with the ikura and quail egg roll and experience your own happily ever after.
Come alone so you can moan into the Cheese & Garlic Esfiha as you eat it. The single most amazing and juiciest piece of food I have ever put in my mouth. Worth the trip to Santana/end of the world.
The Queijo Quente Especial is a great substitute for the good ol' grilled cheese. Between two slices of homemade wheat bread is a generous spread of requeijão and white mozzarella cheese.
Ceviche apimentado e temperado com bastante coentro. Peça uma Original e seja feliz. Uma delícia!
Ceviche saboroso, suave e bem-servido! Peixe extremamente fresco. O Chaufa nas mesas vizinhas também parecia estar muito bom!
Melhor pastel da região! Sequinho e com recheio de qualidade. O de queijo e de frango com catupiry são os mais saborosos. E melhor, custa apenas R$ 3,50!
O cookie de Double Chocolate é para matar a vontade de comer chocolate e deixar morta! Super macio, nada de artificial e extremamente saboroso. Peça o cartão de fidelidade e o 11o cookie é grátis!
The weirdly slick atmosphere doesn't match the amazing down-home cooking at Blue Duck 💙 Absolutely incredible food.
Explosão de sabores 💥🐠 Combinações inusitados em um ambiente íntimo porém badalado. Sensacional as ovas marinadas no shoyu e destaque para o sashimi de sockeye salmon direto do Alasca 🎣⛄️
Kebab for R$ 12 😱 O molho de alho que eles usam para temperar o shwarma é viciante. Ambiente aconchegante e equipe simpática. Só aceitam dinheiro & débito 😉
A apresentação é de cantina mas o gosto é de Fasano. O penne gratinado ao molho pomodoro 🍅 com calabresa seca, espinafre e e provolone é levemente defumado e deixa um gostinho de quero mais ❤️🍝
Esse lugar é o PARAÍSO 🌴🐚 As ostras são frescas, enormes e saborosas. Pedi uma porção para dividir e comi tudo sozinha 🙊 É bom nesse nível.
Ambiente despretencioso e ótimo passeio. Combine a Witbier do Mr. Jones (R$ 15) com uma porção de acarajé para dois (R$ 20). Peça um chorinho de camarão para o super simpático acarajé-master! 🍤😉
This chicken makes me love life. Juicy, well-seasoned and tender with that perfect charbroiled taste. Ask for fries as a side and dip them in the house mayonnaise with herbs.
Lobster mac and cheese is DIVINE 😍 Huge chunks of lobster meat in a creamy white cheddar sauce flavored with truffle oil. Order w/o the mushrooms and cornbread crust to avoid taste overload.
This typical Turkish breakfast is a treat ☕️♥️ Fresh cheeses and jam are absolutely divine. Great option for when you want to eat something to keep you full all day.
ENCONTREI O MELHOR SANDUBA DA CIDADE 😱 Frios fatiados na hora com patê, no pão francês único e insubstituível = sucesso 👍🏼 Peça no balcão o sanduíche de pastrami fatiado com patê de gorgonzola.
Felicidade define ouvir a atendente dizer "todos têm chocolate." 🍪 Melhores cookies do BRASEEEEL! Não perca: cookie de goiabada & chocolate branco, nozes & chocolate chip.
Nothing better than a plain, double-cheeseburger with American cheese 🧀😍🍔 This is one of the best smash burgers I’ve ever had! A side of French Onion fries made it a truly memorable feast.
Dining here is a magical experience ♥️ Admire the Chicago skyline while you drink wine, eat the world’s greatest truffled cacio & pepe 🍝 and delight yourself with seared rare Italian steak 🥩...
Actually a very nice Italian resto in Evanston 🇮🇹 Bring your parents here! Funghi fettucine is wonderful—just ask for the small size, it will be enough for 1.
