    We had a really delicious and unique meal at Ema last Tuesday. One of the best I've had in Sao…read morePaulo for a while. Perched at the bar near the kitchen door we had a great view of the beautiful plates coming out of the tiny kitchen. We ordered off the regular menu but from what I saw, the 7-course tasting menu (R$149) looks like the way to go, particularly for a special occasion meal (or if you're planning on ordering 3 courses.) The ingredients and names of dishes will be familiar to those who know anything about comida brasiliera but with the presentation and flavours are taken to the next level. Everything we ordered was delicious. We also got some good wine/food pairing recommendations from our server. Make a reservation well in advance or arrive at 7:45 to get one of the open seats (they only take reservations for 50% of the tables).

    Ema was hands down one of my best dining experiences in SP. every detail of the meal and service…read morewas carefully thought out. We came for a special lunch day that they were testing out opening on Fridays (usually they only open mid week evenings) and had a blast. We even got to sit next to Brazilian comedy star Fabio Porchat, since the restaurant is small and half of the seating is at a bar. Super fun! The menu is pre-set other than the main dish. Everyone in our three person girl group chose the Mouqueca and loved it. Literally every dish had us wanting to lick the plate and hoping it wouldn't end. Each plate was fairly delicate other than the main course but we were super full by the time we left. The atmosphere here is very intimate, with a small location, big windows to see the action in the kitchen, and a mix match of feminine silverware and plates. It was fun to see how the different playing could affect flavor - causing sauces and elements to mix more or less. The server was friendly and recommended a great half bottle wine pairing that was both tasty and affordable. I will definitely come back here if I can find a free weeknight and reservation!

They call themselves an eco-cultural center, housing a small retail shop, workshops and even yoga classes. They're open for lunch, and I recommend sitting out in the backyard garden, it's just adorable and peaceful. So, the menu changes daily, only offering one entree option. So, find the item of the day of the week you like, if not all of them, and you're good to go. First, you're off to their salad bar, included with your entree. This was one of the most incredible salad bars I've seen. All fresh, unique and loads of options. This ain't no Golden Corral funky iceburg lettuce bar. And, you can go back as many times as you'd like. This was my pretty veggie plate, and yes, I ate all of it. I would have gone back for seconds, but, I wanted to save room for my entree, of course. Well, I truly lucked out, when I was there, it was Feijoada day (feijoda da vegana com farofa, couve e arroz integtal, tofu assado ao molho madeira, batata assada e arroz integral). This was so awesome! Feijoada is typically a meat like stew, so, to have a vegetarian option that I could try, was really great. You can eat each element separately, or, combine to build a hearty stew. The beans, potato and tofu combination was really flavorful and delicious. I really enjoyed the braised greens as well, and the rice might have been some of the best rice I've ever had. It was tender, yet fluffy, soft and flavorful. The farofa was excellent too.
