We stopped by Capim Santo for lunch though it was quite the journey getting there. This Brazilian…read morerestaurant, with a celebrated chef, used to be located in a different location. One which still shows up on Google. We Ubered to the old location and spent a while trying to find a restaurant that is no longer more. My Brazil guidebook touched on their lunch buffet. That is no more at the new location either. The current location is inside a museum. You have to pay admission to the museum to dine at the restaurant. Even if you have no interest in checking out the museum. Safe to say, we were off to a rocky start. Things did turn around magically, however. Admission to the museum pays to help preserve the Amazon. At least our money was going to a good cause. Sustainability is a theme here as you see sustainable materials being used throughout the restaurant. We were seated on the lovely patio which is made to recreate the Amazon with a lot of greenery and trees. I started off with a fresh juice as I looked over the menu. I ordered the pork cutlet with tomato risotto. It may have been my favorite dish on my Brazil trip. The pork was succulent and flavorful. The risotto mirrored it as the fresh tomatoes and combination of ingredients made it arguably the best risotto I've ever had. Service was good. Capim Santo is not cheap. And we ran into a couple of frustrating roadblocks. But with that being said, I can't fail to applaud the restaurant for the quality of its food and the lovely surroundings.

For a restaurant in the hospital, this was impressive. The buffet had traditional Brazilian food,…read moreincluding hearts of palm, rice, beans, feijoada, and much more. We ordered a pastel de carne seca, which is similar to like a shredded beef empanada, but significantly better. It was insane. Going there brought me joy during a difficult time

You are NOT going to find a better meal for the money in Sao Paulo! This place has a pretty great…read moresalad bar and a sweet dessert bar. The selection of meats is not as extensive as other churascarias, but the meats (which include sirloin, rib eye, spicy and mild sausage, chicken breasts and thighs, and chicken hearts) are more than enough to satisfy your appetite. Extra garlic is available for whichever selection you make, too. Come hungry, and if you don't walk out with a full belly, it's your own fault!

I came here for a quick dessert/ coffee spot and definitely had a good time. I heard a lot about…read moretheir lunch buffet and certainly will have to come back for that. But for now the breakdown: MENU The expresso is standard like anywhere else but the special touch comes with the spoons of brigadeiros. Nice touch to it and I love it. The desserts were ok and I wasn't blown away. DECOR/ AMBIANCE The restaurant is inside this beautiful antique theatre. Very nice restoration of the restaurant and to keep its inner beauty that was firstly created in the area. A nice touch to the overall feel. SERVICE It was a bit slow to say the least. Very friendly staff but not the fastest at all. WOW FACTOR The ambiance of the location is definitely what makes me want to come back. OVERALL Good experience, will definitely need to come back for the lunch buffet to have a better sense on what to expect here.

Lotus has been in vegetarian business for over 20 years and it is hands down my favorite in S.Paulo…read more Tasty and always fresh, their buffet assortment is a feast both for eyes and taste buds Besides great food, what sets Lotus apart from other vegetarian restaurants is their clean, bright and comfortable space - as usually these restaurants are kind of dark and mushy - if you know what I mean On Saturdays they got some food offerings normally not available during weekdays And I kid with friends saying that a major con of Lotus is their dish size - it definitely should be bigger to fit everything displayed in the buffet :)

Probably the worst vegetarian buffet I tried. Food were bland and lack of flavor. The selection was…read moreminimal. Tropical was a much better choice.

I've been to other Brazilian steak houses but nothing like this place. It's always nice when you…read morecan experience authentic cuisine. 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. Exciting atmosphere and fun place to eat.

The service is wonderful and the wait staff pays great attention the customers needs.
