The Michelin Guide's review
This culinary jewel in the Itaim Bibi district is a popular restaurant that delights the palate of regulars and new customers alike. Chef Felipe Schaedler is renowned for bringing the flavours of the Amazon to this bustling metropolis. The exotic decor includes vibrant photos and even a canoe called a “banzeiro” that represents the passage of boats along this legendary river. Here, fire and the grill take centre stage, with some dishes prepared using ancestral techniques that are still used in the northwest Amazon. Without a shadow of a doubt, its classic dishes remain the best option, including “ticada” river sardines and the roasted tambaqui, served in portions that make them perfect for sharing. The choice of dessert is easy: the irresistible “cupuaçu” with chocolate brigadeiro!
