Lets talk about Kouzina...having read several of the reviews I am obliged to say that the message…read moreof Kouzina is not to be a greek gastronomy specialist in the market - yes it does serve so called greek food, but it's not authentically greek at all - they have greek influences and the buck stops there. Having eaten at Myk a few times and been at Kouzina a couple of times - the difference is clear. Kouzina is quick, smartly priced, "greek-inspired" Brazilian food that actually works quite well. I've only been here for lunch and ordered their dish of the day on both occasions - once it was a 'picadinho de cordeiro' and the second time a basic spaghetti with calamaris - on both occasions I was with friends and we landed up sharing a salad (recommend the Myk salad). The food is fresh, service doesn't take long, you can practically see your food being prepared in their class walled busy & efficient kitchen. Also tried their dessert - a slice of warm chocolate cake with a scoop of coffee ice-cream and the turkish (greek) coffee - no complaints at all. I wouldn't call the food great but the service is friendly and the ambience is cool and yes, it is quite well priced especially for the region where it is located. Kouzina is slightly cramped, as Hans O. puts it in his review, the space between the tables is quite narrow, but hey, its a restaurant where your dish of the day (extremely wells served portion) comes for under R$ 35 - the service is friendly and you get bang for your buck. Kouzina is a restaurante owned by a group that has has greek investors - they have been expanding rapidly in Jardins and each of their establishments meet the purpose & market they are meant to cater to. Recommend it for a quick lunch - just tone down your 'greek' expectations !

My best meal in São Paulo so far! Came here after a long day full of travel, and I was hoping for…read moresome satisfying veggie grub. Kouzina did not disappoint. First off- the place is done up very well, I felt like I was in a cozy Greek house. The maitre'd Ileana, was superb- welcoming, fun and attentive. The waitstaff took the time to help me pick the best veggie options. I started with some authentically made dolmades. I was first introduced to this dish as a teenager, and I fell in love with it at once. I enjoyed my meal, but the tzatziki could use some more dill and garlic IMO. The zucchini pasta was light and nice,although I could barely finish it after my hearty mezze. The nicest touch was a complimentary dessert of chocolate, nuts and dolce de leite-compliments of the Chef! What a fantastic dinner! I'd love to go back sometime.

Cute little restaurant, not my favorite though. The inside…read moreis very nice, I love the ambiance. Ordered some salad to share and we each got the salmon. Salads were alright but dry. We asked for some lemon, olive oil and salt in the side which made it better. The salmon was ok. Mine was over cooked but my moms was perfect, and my grandmother's was a little over too. It came with a lemon pasta that was fine but the food wasn't very memorable. Service was slow.

Very cute hidden gem restaurant that I never noticed and wouldn't if my friend didn't recommend to…read moreme. It is hidden on this residential street and it is very calm and quiet. Overall happy with the experience. Here is the breakdown: FOOD- one star Definitely a pretty good value for the price. It is not as pricey as similar restaurants in São Paulo. We ordered a couple of dishes to share and a bottle of wine. I ordered my entree: duck risotto, or duck rice. It was delicious. It came on a very generous portion. Great taste and very flavorful. Decor/ Ambiance- one star It was Sunday. Very open and clean look and feel to it. Perfect for family meals. The decoration was very minimalistic but with good taste. SERVICE- one star Very friendly staff and very attentive. No complains there. WOW FACTOR- no star Food was good, ambiance was good, service was good. It is a good casual meal, no specific wow factor. OVERALL- one star I had a good overall experience and would recommend.

Some greek restaurants have come and gone in Sao Paulo, but Acropoles - currently the only 100%…read moregreek restaurant around - lives on for the single reason a restaurant should survive: their food is amazing. (Still) Run by the 94-year-old owner Mr. Trasso, Acropoles is a jewel in the middle of Bom Retiro, a clothes wholesale neighboorhood that gets busy during the week, and lonely during weekends (except by the restaurant). You'll probably not be impressed by the look, the comfort, lack of space, or even by the fact that your food is already prepared in the kitchen and you'll have to get up and go all the way there to pick your food with the cook. But trust me, this all adds up to the experience. And why then did you decide to come here? Yes, the amazing food. My personal favourites are the Moussaka, an eggplant and meat lazagna, will stay in your mind for a long time (kudos to the perfect touch of nutmeg); another classic are their Parmigian Shrimps, deep fried shrimps covered by a tomato and cheese sauce. And, if you get more people with you, why not sharing half of your plate with someone? Portions are big enough for you to try different plates. Acropoles is worth a dedicated visit to the neighboorhood. You might not be able to find a quick table if you have a big group -- if that's the case, ask for a drink in the sidewalk and enjoy the surroundings.
