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

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.

There were certainly plenty of Japanese speaking customers mixed in with Portuguese. And I, the odd tourist, felt right at home. The bamboo shoot and shitake mushroom appetizers were delectable. The chicken broth ramen was insipid. The Gyukatsu Kare (breaded fried beef with curry sauce over rice) was better, but not the ultra crispy panko planks I've had in some places. Maybe it was because I ordered it at the end of the night. The Brazilian brewed cold sake was really good. Could hardly tell the difference from Japanese sake. But, the highlight of the dinner of Sanma Shio--grilled pike mackerel with sea salt. Inexpensive for Sanma, uber fresh, grilled crispy so that you could crunch up the head and tail!

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.
