The food is not exactly authentic but it is fast food that is meant to cater to the locals. Their specialty is the sfiha (called esfiha in Brazil), which is an open faced 4 inch flatbread that is topped with your choice of different meats and vegetables. I'd recommend trying that one. Some of the other Middle Eastern offerings include hummus, babaganoush, kibe, and pita sandwiches. Being a fast food place, they also have the standard stuff like burgers, pizza and fries as well. Habib's is not a bad choice if you're in Brazil, and looking for something a little different.

I had the chocolate esfiha, which was to die for! My chief complaint was with the bathrooms-there was no running water in the sinks, which begs the question do employees wash their hands?

First of all: what a tacky name for a restaurant. Having said that, the name and the look from…read moreoutside can be very deceiving. Just one block from Avenida Paulista, this "por quilo" restaurant has a very decent buffet, including a selection of cheese, fresh fruits for dessert and a grill. After you weight your plate comes the surprise: a huge area with tables in the back, so having a seat is not a problem, as long as you don't mind table sharing. Most of customers are employees of hospitals nearby, so one interesting feature which I think it's brilliant is that there is a closet where white coats are requested to be left, for obvious hygiene matters.

It's not too sweet at all and you can add cinnamon or sugar on top. It's different from the one's I've had in Macau (which has mochi underneath the custard). The pastry crust is a bit greasy, may I add. But this is perfect to go with a cup of coffee (good deal with their set)

The service here is incredibly efficient by SP standards. No one is just standing - drinks arrive within five minutes of ordering, your plate is kept full of pizza that they refill from a covered plate kept on a special stand, and they don't let you sit down without changing the tablecloth. I didn't think this was necessarily the best pizza in town but I thought the super thin crust was superb. Topping choices were ample and ingredients were of a decent quality. A standout for me were the fresh juices which you could order while you wait. I will definitely hit this place up next time I want to order delivery in Itaim.

Here is the breakdown: Decor/ ambiance: Very chic restaurant with very classy taste and decor The tables were spaced out decently giving that needed social distancing Covid measurements: They did provide towels to clean our hands Social distancing reinforce Everyone must wear mask unless seated All staff wearing mask and gloves Service Very courteous team and very prompt in the service Food The food was guy. We tried the tasting menu, but nothing blew me away. The dishes were well made, very good presentation but felt like any normal good restaurant with good food but nothing memorable Wow factor It was missing. When I think about Jean George's other restaurants especially in NY, I miss that wow factor in the São Paulo restaurant Overall Despite not having that wow factor or that memorable food, I did had a good experience on a combination of nice setting and service with a good food.

I loved my experience at Tangará Jean-Georges, which I visited while on a recent work trip to São…read morePaulo. The restaurant is situated inside the beautiful Palácio Tangará Hotel, which is in the tree-lined and mansion-dotted area near Parque do Morumbi. We rolled past gorgeous, classic homes and other five-star hotels as we pulled up to the hotel's gates. Upon entering the dining room, we found that we were the only people there, but this was to be expected given that our dinner reservation was before 8 PM. Most people started to come in only after 9 PM, in accordance with usual Paulistano dining time. The dining room is nicely appointed in a contemporary style and is tastefully elegant without being overdone. We were swiftly greeted by several different staff members, one of whom presented us with the wine list. My colleague and I enjoyed a Franc Beausejour and a Terrazas Malbec. The couvert was a combo of rye, ciabatta, and rosemary foccacia (!) breads with butter and EVOO. Simple but bold in flavor, I liked this dish because the butter was actually spreadable, rather than that very hard butter that never plays well with any bread. We moved on to appetizer salads (Salada de Folhas Mistas), which I have to say is the BEST salad I have had anywhere in the world, hands down. The dish itself was beautifully presented, an explosion of colors. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about the truffle vinaigrette, but it was a match made in heaven. The salad also had a great mix of greens and radicchio and was perfectly dressed. I'm still dreaming about this salad! I had the filet mignon as my main dish, and I've been blessed to enjoy this cut at many places around the globe, and this is one of the best preparations I can remember. It comes with truffled potatoes--are you seeing a theme here--but not overdone in the least. Tangará Jean-Georges takes balance seriously while still appreciating bold and complementary flavors. My colleague ordered the organic chicken, which in name is not an exciting dish, but she raved about it. It came with heart of palm and a shiitake mushroom sauce. The whole experience, from start to finish, was excellent. The only sad part was when we had to leave!
