They literally forgot about us, although the restaurant had only few customers. "hello! We are not waving, but dying of hunger here " I wanted to say! Food was correct, as always good ingredients, large portions, well seasoned. However, sea food (and mainly the fish) was , for me , overcooked. Mussels of the appetizer were rubbery and tuna very dry. The delicate Cambucu Hake, my favorite fish, was bland even though cooked with paprika and creAm . Moqueca prawns also a bit to much cooked for my taste. We would stay for pudding and digestive, but service was so slow that we just asked for the bill. Lucky we had ice cream back home

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!

I was literally still dreaming about it the next day; the food was really that good. Another standout dish was the braised short rib with sticky rice, a Brazilian specialty that was mouthwateringly delicious, with the beef and rice combo melting in your mouth. The toppings and sides were excellent as well. This was at an upscale restaurant, and the bill came out to half of what we would normally pay in the states. Food like this would cost at least two to three hundred dollars in California! For the price we are paying and the quality we are receiving, this is absolutely outrageous. I'd really like to see São Paulo's state government clean up its act and do more for the city, because there's no reason it shouldn't be a top tourist destination.

Food: Couvert (fish escabeche): one of the best couverts at Morumbi Shopping. Escabeche is slightly seasoned and tender, and pickled onions and carrots are slightly sweet with a touch of vinegar. That paired up with a basket of freshly baked mini French rolls is pretty awesome. Tranche Hungaro: Generous chunks of sea bass, slowly cooked in crème, sweet paprika, and other spices, along with potatoes. Dish is cooked and served inside a clay pot. This serving feeds easily two people. Filet de Linguado Grelhado: Grilled sole fish, lightly seasoned with fresh herbs, served a lime wedge, and sautéed potatoes.

You can expect good service from very attentive waiters and the girls in the cashier will receive you with a big smile on your face and it does make a huge difference in the end.
