To start, we had the fresh oysters which totally trumped my previous favorites at O Catarina in Perdizes. Peixaria's are a must.

They literally forgot about us, although the restaurant had only few customers. "hello! We are not waving, but dying of hunger here " I wanted to say! Food was correct, as always good ingredients, large portions, well seasoned. However, sea food (and mainly the fish) was , for me , overcooked. Mussels of the appetizer were rubbery and tuna very dry. The delicate Cambucu Hake, my favorite fish, was bland even though cooked with paprika and creAm . Moqueca prawns also a bit to much cooked for my taste. We would stay for pudding and digestive, but service was so slow that we just asked for the bill. Lucky we had ice cream back home

The fish broth is quite savory, I was blown away. The portion is too small though. It's like a little teaser and I wonder why. If you are in São Paulo, this place won't disappoint!

There is only lunch service and depending on the time, it can be crowded with people standing on long lines. The buffet includes a salad bar, hot dishes and dessert corner and the options change daily. Pricewise there are cheaper restaurants of the same style in the area, but you get what you pay for: ingredients such as gravlax salmon, sea food and a good selection of cheese and cured meats are constant in the buffet.

Well, don't…read moreskip Rufino's, their food menu is not as extensive as other restaurants at Morumbi Shopping, but they cater everyone, from raw oysters to beautiful fish cooked slowly in clay pots. Food: Couvert (fish escabeche): one of the best couverts at Morumbi Shopping. Escabeche is slightly seasoned and tender, and pickled onions and carrots are slightly sweet with a touch of vinegar. That paired up with a basket of freshly baked mini French rolls is pretty awesome. Tranche Hungaro: Generous chunks of sea bass, slowly cooked in crème, sweet paprika, and other spices, along with potatoes. Dish is cooked and served inside a clay pot. This serving feeds easily two people. Filet de Linguado Grelhado: Grilled sole fish, lightly seasoned with fresh herbs, served a lime wedge, and sautéed potatoes.

This is a Korean restaurant in Bom Retiro neighborhood with the authentic Korean style barbecue…read more Each table is equipped with a charcoal grill and an exhaust system that might prevent you to leave the restaurant smelling like gogigui. Gogigui (barbecue in Korean) in is he main item in the menu, with different options (beef, chicken, pork, duck) for sharing, but other dishes are also available. We were in a group of 4 and none of us were in mood of having the barbecue. Moreover, we had a member trying Korean food for the very first time and another one who wasn't much into spicy food. Taking everything into consideration, we ordered 2 bowls of bibimbap and kimchi jjigae (stew with kimchi, tofu and pork). While waiting for the dishes to come, we were offered banchan (side dishes) which was okay. A portable stove was placed on the table for preparing the kimchi jjigae and all dishes were brought at once. Flavor-wise, everything was very tasty, but spiciness was an issue for the ones that were not really familiar to Korean food. But fortunately bibimbap was served with gochujang separately, so we managed to make and edible bibimbap for everyone's standards. In the end we realized that 1 bowl could be enough for the 4 of us. One curious thing happened while we were having our meal: a family with a child seated in a high chair had ordered the barbecue. We heard a scream all of sudden. The girl had put the hands over the hot grill! So one important piece of advice: make sure you keep an eye on children if you come here with your family.

Owner, the lady was disinterested and the man was simply rude (Korean owner) - Perhaps they think I am Korean as I have an oriental face. They probably think negatively of me thinking I am a Korean refusing to speak Korean with them. I will not return. If one is selling BBQ in Brazil, you have to be original as the local standard, which is Brazillian BBQ (churrascaria) is pretty high. I was with my friend, a compatriot that has been living in Brazil for 50 years, He was not impressed either. If you receive good treatment from the restaurant owner, good on you. As for me, I will not return.
