Their fresh sucos (as ever, my strong suggestion is that you try the abacaxi) are an excellent way to start the day and you can't beat the people watching both inside the restaurant and outside on Rua Oscar Freire. Like many establishments in this area, Santo Grão offers valet parking if you want to ditch your car hassle free. Me? I prefer walking there! Santo Grão is definitely a player on the brunch scene in São Paulo and its relaxed atmosphere makes you want to stay and chat long after you've nibbled your last bite of omelette.

The açaí smoothie came out first and was perfectly thick and sweetened just enough - it was delicious. The mushroom wrap was great as well. I'm not a big bread eater (for sandwiches) so I likely would have asked for it without a wrap had I thought ahead. However, the spinach wrap was good and a great seasoning to it. This place is a bit more on the pricey side (in line with other restaurants in the area) - my meal was about $13 USD which is a little less than what I would have paid for a comparable meal in the US. If you're not on a strict budget then I'd recommend a detox meal here!

Came to Dona Vitamina to check it out and it's awesome! Open decor, a garden in the back of the room, vertical garden, open kitchen, smiling service staff, magazine rack, truly felt like I was having breakfast somewhere around Rodrigo de Freitas Lake in Rio. Menu has a wide range from vitaminas (smoothies), wraps, sandwiches, pão de queijo, bread, cakes, the list goes on. Though it's a healthy place, so no flaky croissants stuffed with ham and cheese, chocolate, etc. Since I had a bikram class to attend, I picked a açaí bowl which probably could feed three people easily, sliced banana e a side of granola along. Ommmm...

They serve some omelettes and other dishes where egg is the main ingredient, but it turns out it's more of a typical lunch spot with an egg thrown into each recipe somehow. I had the salmon, and my friend went for the burger which is their most popular dish. My salmon was a bit dry, and, while nicely plated, the ingredients just didn't seem to meld. My friend enjoyed her burger but it wasn't anything special - we are partial to ZDeli burgers up the street. We both ordered their house iced tea, a ginger mate blend. It was bland and looked like dirty river water. Worst of all it wasn't very cold. The service was slow considering that there was only one other table without food when we arrived. Maybe we ordered wrong, but I was a underwhelmed. Will not be back until the next major egg craving hits.

Something I very much look to in an enjoyable dining experience. Being a foreigner, I was pretty clueless about where to be seated. A server saw me and allowed me to pick my seat. I ordered a caipirinha to start off and the bacalau for my main course. Though the bacalau was a little salty to my taste, I loved the crispy onions they garnished the dish with. The fish meat was tender but firm. A texture I love. I finished off my meal with their bread pudding as recommended by my server. It was nice as warm with a sweet flavor of almonds and raisins. All the employees in the restaurant were really kind and patient especially since I don't speak Portuguese. They were willing provide me some must sees in Sao Paulo and didn't seem to be bothered by the fact that I had to use Google translate to communicate. I'll definitely be back for a next visit~ Glad Tavares lived up to their excellent reviews.

Adiei muitas vezes minha ida ao Z Deli devido à falta de espaço físico e a fila. Além disso, não tem ar condicionado nesse verão paulista. Por isso, o restaurante não recebe as 5 estrelas. Mas voltando a parte deliciosa da review, o burger é realmente divinooooooo! Pedi um burger chamado Minetta que vem com cheddar e cebolas caramelizadas. A carne veio no ponto certinho! E o pão era levemente crocante com um suave gostinho de manteiga. Amei! O sanduíche de pastrami era bom, mas um pouco seco. Infelizmente, não sou fã de foie gras, então não experimentarei o famoso burger deles, mas todos meus amigos que gostam possuem uma opinião unânime positiva! Pedi as fritas normais, super crocantes e sequinhas :) a fat fries é boa, mas um pouco pesada e as batatas ficam encharcadas no molho. além disso, a pink limonade. Não sabia que ela continha groselha, achei um pouco doce para meu gosto pessoal. Não vejo a hora de voltar ao Z Deli! tente evitar horários de pico, mas eles também fazem takeout. [ENG] Okay, it had been a really long time since I ate a burger in SP and reacted like: omg! That's what happened. I took a long time to visit Z Deli because people always said the space was too small and always crowded. Besides that, there ir no air conditioning, which can be pretty annoying in SP's summer. That's why the restaurant doesn't get a 5-star rating. But going back to the delicious part of this review, the burger is truly amaaaaazing! I ordered one called Minetta which has cheddar cheese and caramelized onion. The meat was exaclty medium well as ordered and bread was slightly crunchy with a little taste of butter. LOVED IT. The pastrami sandwich was little bit dry, wasn't that into it. Unfortunately, I'm not a big fan of fois gras, so I didn't get the famous foie gras burger. However, all of my friends that tried really really really liked it. The regular fries are great! Crunchy and not at all oily :) the fat fries are good, but they get kinda soaked in the sauce, so I prefered the other ones. There's also the pink lemonade, which I thought was bit sweet since it contains "groselha", a really sweet Brazilian drink. I often go back to Z Deli, but try to go on not so busy hours or just get a take out :)
