In a non-descript residential neighborhood far from the hubbub on Paulista Avenue, there's this gem…read moreof a restaurant where they care about every single detail. It's like going to a wealthy aunt's place where she only allows you to visit twice a year, but you do feel special when she does. This being Brazil, she is not cooking herself, but an expertly trained home chef. The mushroom risotto was earthy, lip-smacking rich and accentuated with slices of duck breast. The presentation and flavors were exquisite. My companion had a short rib with gnocchi which was equally delightful. Adding wine, this was not a cheap meal, but definitely worth the visit. It's not every day food, but visiting this aunt is a true treat when you make the effort to come to this part of town.

My first time in the area, I ate here just because it was close. Then it was good enough that I…read morewent there again the second week of my trip. Now that I'm back in the area, I took a colleague with me. In other words, the food is good enough that I keep going back again and again. I was thankful for the English version of the menu, because few of the wait staff speak English; but I was able to figure out how the all-you-can-eat process worked on my first trip. As others have mentioned, the wait staff will make suggestions, but you completely have the option to accept or ignore those suggestions. Also, as others have mentioned, some dishes would just show up without us ordering them: but as more of those come out, we realized that they are bringing around "samples" of the new dishes they introduced. In other words, every one of the dishes that we didn't order was listed as "new item" on the menu: I guess this is the way they encourage people to try the new dishes. If you do the all-you-can-eat meal, I suggest ordering more than one sushi at a time: it seems like an order takes the same amount of time whether it is one sushi or 5 different ones, so you will end up waiting a long time if you order just one or two types at a time. Overall, a very good value for the price you pay with an excellent variety of both simple and unusual selections.
