Yelp Review 2025 #163:…read more One of my birthday meals while in Brazil was at D.O.M. - a 2-Michelin starred restaurant. World-renowned Chef Alex Atala's brainchild. I made a reservation about 2 months prior to coming here. They do charge your credit card for a deposit which they apply to your final bill anyway. Knowing how I've been feeling about tasting menus lately (a general lack of stamina to eat over 10 courses) and my time in São Paulo was very limited, I opted for the Executive Menu which offers traditional Brazilian fare. I arrived 30 minutes early. Upon getting seated, they gave me a welcome drink of alua, a mildly alcoholic drink made by fermenting pineapple rinds, and roasted cashews. Executive Menu: Offered only for lunch Monday to Friday, from 12pm-3pm. You have 3 options for proteins: fish, chicken or beef tenderloin. It comes with rice brown beans and black beans, green salad, beiju with a spread made from fermented cashew, rice, sautéed potatoes, sautéed kale with bacon, breaded banana, and farofa. To finish the experience, you get pudim (Brazilian flan) for dessert. Chef Alex Atala's pursuit of going back to traditional Brazilian cuisine brought this menu together and has been on the menu for more than 25 years since the restaurant opened. I opted for the tenderloin and it was tender. I really liked the potatoes, black beans and rice with farofa. It was a lot of sides. They gave me a coconut cake for my birthday. And I got the chance to meet Chef Alex Atala himself which was the highlight of my trip to Brazil. It was an amazing and unforgettable birthday meal. It started my trip to Brazil on a high! One thing to add is that even Michelin-star restaurants in Brazil do not have a dress code. They prefer you come in with whatever you're comfortable wearing. I unfortunately couldn't find the dress I had planned on wearing so I came in with leggings and a hoodie and they were perfectly fine with it. Unpretentious despite the prestige they have.

Their 12-course tasting menu is offered in an elegant, traditionally-decorated dining room and focuses on a particular theme. On my visit, the inspiration for the menu came from Sertão, a dry region of Northeast Brazil. We were started with a welcome drink of Alua, a sweet and sour mixture of ginger, pineapple, and sugar. The first course consisted of a candy made of cashews paired with smoked cashews; and then three little snacks: a cornmeal puff with fish, a cassava cake topped with cashew butter and cured beef, and a chicken drumstick with farofa. Then came three little dumplings filled with cured meat and served with a buttery pumpkin soup; red rice with butter cheese, fried onions, fried egg white, and a sous vide egg yolk; and beiju (manioc flour cake) served with mocoto, a stew of Andu beans and cow's feet. The three entrees were yellow seabass cooked in banana leaf (using a traditional method from natives); quail with cornmeal mash; and kale layered with bacon and lamb. The transition to dessert started with a puree of Corda beans topped with melon sorbet and pickled wild cucumbers. Then came a dish called "white forest," consisting of green coconut and several preparations of bacuri, a sour citrus fruit. My favorite dessert was "Grandma's pudding," a coconut cake with a caja (tropical fruit) filling and topped with tapioca jelly swirls. And the last course consisted of three little bites: Souza Leao cake (made of coconut and cassava), topped with their signature silver-colored Amazonian ant (which had a crunchy texture and peppery flavor); a crispy Guava biscuit with goat cheese filling; and wedding cake (dried fruit, spices, chocolate) topped with umbu cream (made with a local fruit). The three bites were served on a dried leaf, along with a brewed coffee served in a glass, which was brewed dark with deep caramel notes. Overall, the presentation and execution of the entire tasting menu was exceptional. The waiters explained each of the dishes as they were presented, and changed out the utensils and place settings between courses. Chef Alex Atala even came around the dining room to greet guests, capping off a super memorable experience!

My colleague prefers to go here lately since she claims they go easier on salts and spices. I especially like their bean/linguiça stew, although of course the offerings vary daily, the stew seems to be a staple. They seem to have more fresh juices (sucos naturales) than other places in the area.
