Holy smokes Batman, Barnabé is just as good if not better than its competitor, Mocotó. Both…read morerestaurants are far away from the city, since both are so far and very close to each other, I give props to Barnabé though, it's right across from a police station and I constantly saw cops walking rounds, and there is plenty of parking on the street since there is a huge church and library across the street. Food: Torresmo (fried pork, fried pork, fried pork,) Queijo coalho frito - (fried little dices shaped tapioca flour and fresh cheese, with guava marmalade dipping sauce) Baião de dois - Feijão fradinho, arroz, pedacinhos de carne seca, tudo com caprichado tempero sertanejo. (like a fried rice but not fried, rice, beans, salted beef chunks, northeastern seasoning) Escondidinho - Purê de mandioca com recheio de carne seca, requeijão e queijo coalho. (like a shepherd's pie, stuffed with pulled salted beef, covered with creamy yucca puree and soft cheese) Food is a tad different from Mocotó, it taste homier and less industrialized (not saying that Mocotó is industrialized), prices are more affordable, service is very friendly, and food comes out quite quick! Overall this place is awesome, if you are debating which one to go, I'd say try both, but if you are short on time and want a local experience, Barnabé will not disappoint.

The chef was very nice and presented us with the complimentary dish which I believe was the Torresmo.

The recommendations from the server to try are the "Baião-De-Dois which is composed of rice beans. Update the food is inspired from NE Brazil which has an amazing presentation. The food is made with love and has a very home feel. The medium dish serves 3-4 people with ease. A definite must try if you are in São Paolo. Eu originalmente pensei que este era um tipo de restaurante mexicano pela decoração, mas não há pratos que sugeriria que a equipe é de pessoas amigáveis, mas não fala muito inglês. O chef foi muito legal e nos apresentou o prato de cortesia que acredito ser o Torresmo. As bebidas são incríveis e aquele prato de carne defumada era carne de porco e cebola, que estava super macia e suculenta. As recomendações do servidor para experimentar são o "Baião-De-Dois, que é composto de feijão de arroz. Atualize a comida é inspirada no NE Brasil, que tem uma apresentação incrível.

Here is the breakdown: FOOD: They had a couple of options and I ordered the cupim dish. The cupim with the farofa was excellent and really enjoy it. The mandioca was a bit dried and lacked that flavor. AMBIANCE/ DECOR: Nice spot to come with friends without going to crazy or a nice dinner spot for family. Very hard to judge as we went on a holiday and the restaurant was empty. But nice casual decor to it with the open kitchen layout. You have the option to eat st the counter by the kitchen. SERVICE Enjoyed the service. Very attentive and friendly the waiters. OVERALL Star for the food, decor and service. One extra for the overall experience.
