You would not start your day by having ceviche for breakfast, but here (in theory) it is possible…read more Using fresh ingredients form other shops of the market, you can select fish or seafood as the base of your ceviche and the sauce out of 4 options. For those who are not into raw fish, pork ribs with either potatoes or sweet corn are a good choice. The taste is by far very good, and prices are quite fair, specially by considering the neighborhood where it is located. And on Saturdays, make sure to try the oysters, served with a special sauce. You order first and then wait for your order number to be called. So it is somehow a mix of grab and go and fast food restaurant with a small area for you to have your meal. It is always packed by lunch time on Saturdays, but if you want to have either a late lunch or an early dinner, I recommend going around 5:30 pm to enjoy the best of Comedoria Gonzales with no hurry and enough space to accommodate yourself in one of their tables.

So one fine day Fabio S. says..hey lets grab a bite at Comedoria Gonzales, I have no idea where or…read morewhat it is but I jump in and a bit of yelping made my mouth water....and boy oh boy...this is what all mercados should have..in a very dismal looking building, on the top floor sits the star named Comedoria Gonzales ! Once you get past the 'mercadão' and get to the the place, its actually very practical, clean and bustling with customers, even on a nondescript Tuesday. They don't have table service, so you got to decide what you feel like eating/drinking - options range from several ceviches to peruvian sandwiches & drinks, line up at the counter (which is where they loose a star due to it being really slow), order & pay and wait for them to shout out your token number. The orders didnt take too long to get processed. They have a small tables around the place or if you're lucky (as we were), you can snag a couple of highchairs at the bar. The food is really, really good - I ordered the seafood ceviche marinated in 'suco de manga' and it was one of the best ceviches I have had in São Paulo along with a side of their potato fries with rosemary dipped in mayo. The food is served in disposable paper containers which make it easy to take and go also (if needed) but I really recommend sitting there. Prices (17/11) - The fish of the day ceviche costs R$ 17 and seafood ceviche costs R$ 20 - both have 4 marinade options. Comedoria Gonzales is very well locate behind Metro Brig. Faria Lima and one of those places where one visit isn't going to be enough. I have to return and try out more of their options.

Terrible. I won't go back. I did go to the original restaurant downtown São Paulo two or three…read moreyears ago, and it was amazing! Back then it was the only one and now became a chain. As we entered the restaurant it was stinking of spoiled fish smell, and we HAD to sit outside where we could breathe... we ordered the large salmon ceviche and breaded squid rings chicharron. The first had spoiled fish taste, and the other was dripping oil, from what seemed to be the worst breading I've ever seen... we could not eat any of it and had to send it all back. Won't ever go back, and will not let anyone go before hearing my experience. I do give them one star for not charging and offering a free alfajor packet as an apology.

Consistently good Argentine steakhouse where you choose an individual cut of steak rather than an…read moreall you can eat churrascaria. Same owner/company as Cabana Las Lilas from Buenos Aires. I ordered the ribeye that was delicious, but you have to order it medium/ao ponto, as they undercook the meat in Brazil. Accompanied the steak with mashed potatoes and a glass of Catena Malbec. With tip came to $75US--worth it. Same meal in USA would easily be $125. Right around the corner from the Fasano Hotel where I stayed and very nice ambience--cool historic tree as you enter the premises along with a nice bar area and kitchen where you can view them preparing and cooking the steaks.

Gorgeous restaurant! You wouldn't expect the stunning and breathtaking views from the exterior but…read moreonce inside, I couldn't help but marvel at the huge tree, wood beams, beautiful decor, immense wine cooler and liquor wall. I fully appreciated the blanket and heaters that were brought over as it was a chilly evening, yet we were still "indoors" but not. Service was impeccable, with every member of the staff ensuring our experience was top notch and food met our expectations. I chose the slowly roasted beef ribs rice and was not expecting savory goodness that arrived! The beef ribs melted in my mouth and the rice was so incredibly flavorful - I would order this over and over again! Of all the restaurants I've been to, Figueira Rubaiyat has by far the one of the most extensive wine list I've seen, featuring many different wines from around the world, including Brazil of course! There is also a gift shop that should not be missed because of the very unique items that are found here - and a place I'll need to visit next time I'm in the area again! The entire experience is one that should not be missed. Every detail and every bite was absolute perfection!
