Maní
A one-Michelin-starred restaurant helmed by Helena Rizzo, interpreting Brazilian ingredients with modern techniques, with a focus on the tasting menu.
Housed in a charming cottage in Jardim Paulistano, the restaurant features three interconnected dining rooms dominated by white tones. It is co-helmed by Chef Helena Rizzo and Belgian Chef Willem Vandeven, holding one Michelin star. The menu emphasizes Brazilian ingredients and avant-garde techniques, with Michelin recommending the moqueca fish served with rice terrine, pirão, and farofa. Guests can choose between a three-course menu or the chef's tasting menu, which must be ordered by the entire table. Reservations are handled directly by the restaurant and should be booked well in advance.
