We felt IN LOVE for this place!

The cheff Henrique Fogaça is on the world´s top 100 list, but his restaurant is far from being coky!!

GREAT food, excellent music, nice waiters, cozy ... useless to say we´ll become frequent clients!

It reminded me a lot of Cafe San Juan, in Buenos Aires, with rock & roll cooks and international cuisine!

TIP? Sit on the balcony!

This place made me speachless!

GREAT Brazilian Food, well presented, nice waiters and the best is that it is inside an Art Gallery, that hosts lots of good expos in town.

You pay a fixed price (week days are the cheaper, and sunday the most expensive). But for the quality, and as it´s all included (food and desert), it´s not all that bad at the end.

My tip is for you to arrive early, there´s always a line!! When we went there, we arrived early, saw the expositions and got in by the time it opened.

It´s a MUST GO!

Whenever you come to Brazil you MUST stop at one of this places!
Whenever people ask me of typical food, tons of things come to my mind, but last time I left I realized - I've never seen a place like this anywhere else! (ok.. maybe I havent traveled that much... hahah)

Açai (best in town), lots of fresh juices, natural food, natural sanduiches, wraps and crepes.

If you have a chance, order a small Açai Premium w Granola. All juices are wonderful but Maracuja w Gengibre (Passion Fruit and Ginger) is my favorite! Hot wraps as appatizers are just a great call to go with their really good Caipirinhas!

A GREAT call for weekends, happy hours, lunch or dinner!

This was not the 1st place I went when I got back, but it's for sure on my top 10 list.

Great place to chat, taste some GREAT food with excellent presentation.

The chef might come to your table to suggest a dish, serve your meal or just to make you "feel at home".

They have seasonal dishes and great caipirinhas!!!!
The waiters are handy and sweet.
