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!

I had a mixed experience at this restaurant. The food was decent overall, around a 7/10, and the…read moreservice was good--friendly, throughout the meal. One challenge was communication, as none of the staff seemed to speak a language other than Portuguese. While everyone was polite and tried to help, this could be difficult for international visitors. The drinks were unfortunately the weakest part of the experience. They took an exceptionally long time to arrive, and the quality and flavor were disappointing. On the positive side, the desserts were good; creative, original, and delicious. They were easily the highlight of the meal. What ultimately made the experience disappointing was the value for money. The bill came to nearly 3,000 BRL (about $600 USD) for two people, which felt extremely overpriced for what was delivered. At that price point, I would expect exceptional food, outstanding drinks, and a more seamless overall experience. While the service and desserts were good, the overall experience simply did not justify the cost. Unfortunately, I did not feel it was worth the price.

Ceviche sempre terá um lugar especial no meu coração…read more When I found Suri off Google Maps one day, I immediately bookmarked it cause I had to stop by one of the days for lunch or dinner. I went on a day when it wasn't raining during my walk there from the place I was staying and when I left the restaurant, it started to down pour hard). Luckily, I had brought my umbrella with me as there were plenty of times when I always had forgotten it at home. The interior is bright and open. There was one large round table in a corner and multiple smaller tables along the wall that was on the street side, a few tables on the sidewalk (covered by an awning, but even with rain, you could get wet), and then the bar which is where I sat. They paid attention to detail here - the minimal decor, yet the well matched placemats, utensils, bar chairs, lighting, etc. I love the bright colors in both the food and the theme of the restaurant. What I ordered: - Picadito Playero (3 unidades - desde que comi sozinho e eles revisaram o preço para mim por menos peças) ***must try!!! so so so good*** Atum picado com gengibre, pimenta sriracha, sweet chilli, cebola e coentro em cima de nossos patacones (discos crocantes de banana da terra fritos) (5 unidades) R$ 55,00 - Goa (somente peixe) ***so unique - I don't think I have ever had a curry inspired ceviche before - I really liked this one and it was very filling.*** Corvina com curry artesanal, leite de coco, cebola roxa, coentro e tortillas de arroz R$ 62,00 - I think the drink I had was a Mango Margarita which was muito bom. There was sugar around the rim and a thin slice of mango. ***The drink was strong and refreshing at the same time.*** I loved every single thing I had here. Presentation on everything was beautiful and the flavors were amazing! All recommended by the restaurant owner who was one of the few who knew how to communicate in English. I think whenever I would go somewhere, those who spoke English would come to me rather than me having to try to communicate in Portuguese, but I really wouldn't have minded trying cause I was learning anyway, but I appreciate the effort in trying to make me feel comfortable. My waiter made sure my check was adjusted for the appetizer as I had gotten 3 vs. 5 pieces before I paid which was recognized, obrigada. I will definitely return next time I am in São Paulo, thank you for a great time!

Might have been an off afternoon for the staff…read more Service was ok - they had "check" my order 3 times which was a bit annoying. They served me a drink I didn't order. Sat at the counter and my dirty dishes were left at the counter as they were pulling up (had order different appetizers). Staff members walked by and didn't bother to pick it. They presented me the check without me being done ordering or eating. It was just an odd experience with service... The food was SPECTACULAR!

It's called Galinheiro Grill, so of course, you should probably order the chicken, although they…read morecertainly have other meats available. We ordered a meia frango, which was perfectly grilled to the point where the inside was moist and the outside skin crispy. Good sides to go with the chicken: polenta, feijao, and rice. The meia frango with 3 sides should be enough for 3 people. Sit outside if it's nice--good for people watching.

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.
