The Michelin Guide's review
This restaurant occupies the charming garden of an old property known as the Casa da Don'Anna, a 20C house with a strong coffee legacy. The ambience here is delightful, protected by the vagaries of the weather by an almost invisible roof, and features large jabuticabeira trees, tables laid out in the garden, and a semi-open kitchen to the rear. Here, Peruvian chef Enrique Paredes conjures up Andean cuisine that is reinterpreted through the use of local ingredients, strong flavours, pleasant textures and subtle nuances from the Amazon region. Among the starters, the fresh oysters with a Japanese ponzu sauce, physalis and black massago stands out, followed, perhaps, by a main of ossobuco cooked at low temperature with an Arequipeño sauce, and accompanied by a cassava millefeuille. Lovers of cacao will adore the intense and absolutely delicious chocolate x 4!
