It's a small and cozy italian restaurant near Jardins neighborhood…read more The place is small, so it can get really busy. The service is good and the waiters are friendly. They do a really good job with the menu. Didn't try the antipasti because I didn't have much time. I ordered the Gnocchi al fungi tartufatti (gnocchi with mushrooms and truffle oil) that was amazing. My friend ordered the gnocchi with ragout that was good as well. They have many other options of pasta, meat and fish. They have a god bar service. We had a Tiramissu for dessert, and it was perfect!!! The price is ok, nothing too expensive.

I didn't give this place five stars because it's perfect, but because there are so few places like…read moreit. * Serves a full menu 24 hours a day * Huge menu, so there's no fighting over whether you should pick a restaurant * Huge space, so there's always somewhere to sit In particular, it's a great place for late nights when other restaurants have closed or for brunch because there are many breakfast options alongside all the standard lanchonete fare. It's generally clean, service is fine, if not a bit spotty at time, and the food is good enough and comes quickly, though sometimes entire pages of the menu will be unavailable for whatever reason.

Food menu is not as large as other bars like Boteco São Bento, but everything they serve is pretty good, plus, they have bigger portions of grilled entrees if you don't feel like having aps for dinner. Place gets packed everyday, best time to get there is around 5pm, after that, it becomes madness, then the only tables available are the ones that they'll force you to buy a fifth of Kettle One.

I initially just thought this was a juice bar which would have been just fine for me, as I love a morning lemon juice (no sugar!), but this place has so much more! It's also got a great selection of salads, some nice egg dishes, some delicious Açai bowls for your daily superfood dose, and even KOMBUCHA! Service is super fast, so it's perfect for a quick lunch. For my entire time in Brazil I visited here every day and brought no less than 20 colleagues here - and if I'm ever back in the neighborhood I know I'll be right back here for a juice, snack, or healthy lunch.

For breakfast enjoy delicious Açai bowls (a must try for all foreign visitors), a little bowl of scrambled eggs with a side of fruit salad or their version of French toast in which an egg is fried to your liking within the hole cutout of a piece of toast and then topped with requeijão, an extra creamy Brazilian creme cheese. Also worth trying is the crazy monkey sandwich made of banana, cinnamon and a special "healthy" cheese (as though cheese could be diet, ha!). Super health nuts will appreciate the mashed bananas with oats and honey. For lunch they have a lot of great sandwiches including a tasty veggie burger. You won't be tempted to get that side of fries, since they don't sell anything fried. They do however sell non greasy empanadas which make a great afternoon snack. My favorite is the carne picante. The juices are not to be missed as part of any meal but especially refreshing at mid day is a chilled coconut cut open on request. Foreigners should note the menu separation of Vitaminas (smoothies), which are quite thick and often include Açai or sorbet, and sucos (juices) which are usually filtered to a quite thin consistency. For dinner the platters are nutritious and filling. I think the baked white fish with salad is the most popular version for the post-gym crowd, but I am also a fan of the sweet potatoes or the veggie burger patties (comes without the bun). Basically this place is a vegetarian, gluten free and gym addict haven. But beware those desserts! I can say from personal experience that tasting that cheesecake should be done at your own personal risk. I think it's on the list of foods that I would request for my last meal. The bolo de banana integral while not as crave-worthy is also pretty good and meets the criteria of desserts that I actually believe are healthy. The only dessert, and actually menu item come to think of it, that I didn't love (after two years of quite devoted patronage) was the recently introduced gluten free cake, unfortunately really dry and flavorless. Beyond selling great value for money healthy food, the service here is super fast, theyre open pretty late, they deliver and they have an English menu (not that I need it anymore but great for visitors). And for extra super duper bonus points Madureira regularly gives away the pão de queijo that gets too hard from sitting in the front case for too long to the local homeless people. How can you not love them!?!?

The brunch food was so so good, and the drinks were great as well. I got the Ozzy Breaky, and every item on my plate was cooked to perfection and delicious. My husband got the Cured Salmon Eggs Benedict, and the egg was perfectly runny. The Acai smoothie was like having an acai bowl without the toppings and it was the perfect combination to the food. We would've eaten here several more times on our trip if we could! It's a great, very large spot sand many people are enjoying some food while working or having a fun brunch with their friends. Their waiters don't speak the best English but with the menu online, everything is easily translated and they try their best to help you out- even if it required pulling out Google translate!
