Forget about DOM, this is the true contemporary Brazilian food experience. The environment is casual chic, lots of young people and reasonably priced. No surprise there is always to wait at the door before finding a table. Worth the wait!

The last time I went to this restaurant, I actively disliked both starter and main course (to the point of not finishing my main course). In my view, the ingredients just didn't work together and the end result was somewhat sickly. If I ordered badly, I apologise for the lackluster review (though, in my opinion, you should not be able... More

Sophisticated and expensive but worth the visit. This place matches to any one of the best in anywhere in the world. Hard to get tables for dinners. There are usually long lines before the opening hours.

The simplistic yet charming decor makes you feel comfortable immediately and the starters (couvert) is a definte and resounding "Yes !!" The food is beuatifully presented and is... More

Amazing dinner at this casual, creative culinary wonderland. The food was inventive and spectacular. There are not enough superlatives for this restaurant. If you are in Sao Paulo, you simply MUST eat here!

This is one of those restaurants that make you think you have previously been too generous with the 5 point of trip advisor... It's a never ending surprise, with unusual flavours and combination of savoury and sweet / fruity with many typical Brazilian produces I had never had before. The amuses-bouche were delicate and tasteful at the same time and... More

Phenomenal dinner at Mani. I had the seasonal menu. The dishes all incorporated Brazilian products. Very innovative dining. Great service (despite the language barrier). Definite must for foodies. Worth the price.

Delicious food, fantastic service, friendly staff. We ordered a fruit cahpirinia when we arrived...strong but very good! After scanning the menu & being unable to choose (all sounded too good) we opted for the tasting menu. Great choice, lots of small dishes, each as tasty as the last. The restaurant has a warm & friendly atmosphere stylishly decorated with a... More
