Just grab a seat and someone will bring you a menu, order and the food will arrive quickly. I visited a couple times because it was close to where I was staying. I only tried the Lanches Pernil, once with the queijo Minas and once plain. One thing I want to highlight is the homemade hot sauce. It takes the sandwiches to the next level.

The salt and pepper angus beef patty blended with pork. Homemade brioche bun, danish blue cheese crumbles and pickled jalapenos. Then the pastrami fries that stay crispy till the end no matter that it is slathered in sauce. No surprise the lines here remain long. Perfect portion size. Food is denser than it looks--I stalled before I could finish the box of pastrami fries ZDeli has now earned a place in my top 10 burger joints ever.

Not the friendliest of staff. They have a "I'm so cool" attitude problem, it's probably the first…read moretime in Brazil I have ever experienced such unfriendliness. It was rather sad, given it's our last night in São Paulo, and every other restaurant has been so kind and patient. The yellowtail fish with the nuts were not that great either. After the raving reviews and the lonely planet recommendation, I truly had great expectations. Sigh.

Great drinks, cool atmosphere. Our group sat upstairs and I found the music to be way too loud to…read morethe point of a headache after dinner. While I appreciated the musical selection of classic and contemporary rock, it turned my brain into blender-matter. Music aside, the food was pretty decent. While I might not order the fish again, I enjoyed the bites I stole from my neighbors plates. The servers were very sweet and attentive and the top tip on this place is that there's a hip, jazzy speakeasy bar in the basement level. Get the bloody mary!

We went the second night and they were very cold and I asked again for tap water, the waiter brought me bottled water, I asked him that i did not asked for that but for tap water and again they acted as if I had cursed his mother. He then told me he could not give me tap water as it was the house policy. I just like tap water. We order other drinks for the kids and my brother. I told him that I had eaten there the night before and had no problem in getting tap water. He then went back and brought us the vinagrete without the food. Then after about 30 minutes, our food arrived and it did not taste as good as the day before. The meats were dried and did not taste well. They did not dished the food as they did the day before. They were talking with a couple , who was seating behind us and telling them that the restaurant had a much cheaper option for burgers, which they did not told us. Anyways,experience was bad. Will not go back there. The waiters are poorly trained and not friendly. The place was empty not many costumers. they don't care. I will spend my American dollar at the Brahma bar that is right next to it or at mortadela place. Learn how to be friendly to costumers. Your waiters were on the phone instead of being attentive to your costumers, for the price of the dishes you should be training your staff in how to be better costumer oriented. Avoid this place.

The only thing I would say negative is their menu is small and their coke bottles are tiny! Great food and atmosphere!

The rules are the same red means no more meat, green means bring it on. Of course the salad and sushi bars are designed to fill your tank before the meat comes. DON'T DO IT!!!!! Save space for the meat. That's why you come to a Brazilian steak house. We were a party of one hundred so hats off for serving all of us and the normal patrons. Most of the meat was tender, juicy and well seasoned. Occasionally, I had a dry piece but that was the exception not the rule. The wait staff was super friendly and did there very best serving a bunch of gringos who don't speak Portuguese. The desert platter was pretty yummy as well with all kinds of options pictured below.
