These are basically cheesy rice balls that are deep fried) This is a must-try appetizer! I also really was in the mood for vegetables so we got the salada verde as well. It comes with a lot of different lettuce, tomato, and cheese. This was really refreshing and a good choice to complement the intensely heavy entree. We got the Mexidão for the table. This dish comes packed full of ingredients in one sizzling hot bowl: rice, shredded beef, beans, some other ingredients mixed in... topped with lots and lots of CHEESE! And all of this for R$154,00 = $30! So so good, and my Paulistano friends highly recommended this place for authentic Mineiro food.

And while there are other restaurants in Pinheiros/Vila Madalena area that offer gourmet beers (Emporium Alto dos Pinheiros or Melograno) their cuisine just doesn't compare. Where were we?! Everything was so full of flavor! I ordered a simple "Green salad" that showed up with a whole roasted garlic clove. My meat eating friends recommend the tender "French Kiss" and the "Jihad."

Chef Mara Salles is well known for celebrating Brazil's regional cuisines, and the restaurant has earned a Bib Gourmand recognition for its quality and value. We had the option to sit inside or on the patio, and since the weather was perfect, we chose the patio. Inside looked inviting too--warm wood, white tablecloths, and a stylish bar. The service was friendly, though our server didn't speak English, which made ordering a little tricky. We used a translator app several times, which worked fine but slowed things down. The food was worth it. We started with the zucchini chips (addictive!) and quickly learned the chilies on the table are very hot--be careful. For appetizers, we had the Comissão de Frente (pastries filled with shrimp) and the Bolinho Errado com Aioli de Pequi (manioc balls with homemade cheese). Both were excellent. For mains, we tried the Bobó de Camarão, a shrimp dish in creamy manioc with coconut--rich and comforting. The Barreado, beef slow-cooked for 10 hours in a clay pot, was tender and deeply flavorful. Overall, Tordesilhas gave us a warm welcome to São Paulo dining. The food was authentic and memorable, and while the language barrier made things a little slower, it was still one of the highlights of our trip.

To be honest I rarely try the salad bar and just wait for that glorious meat to start coming one after the other after the other with that flag of "bring meat" ! :) Although the salad bar was amazing I came for a specific reason which was to stuff myself with as much Brazilian meat as possible and that I did! My favs are generally the Picanha, ribs and the chicken hearts and at Baby Beef they did not disappoint. The service was fantastic as well and I left feeling full and fulfilled! cheers to Baby Beef for a great meat experience!

They overheard me commenting on some Mediterranean cuisine and offered to make Kibbie for me. They made a few other items on our request. Some of the meat was delicious and perfectly cooked, while others were not flavorful and/or over cooked making them very chewy. One of the people at my table loves chicken hearts, so they prepared those for us as well. Can't say I'm a fan of those, but I did try one. The salad bar is pretty amazing as is the sushi station. All in all, a pleasant experience, just wish there was consistency with the meat prep.
