Great Peruvian option in São Paulo. I lived a few years in Perú and deeply fell in love with its food. So, it’s like ritual for me to try Peruvian food when available.
Frankly, I didn’t expect much considering it’s not a port city and the lemon didn’t taste same as in Lima.
This place Amazo, however, was a pleasant surprise for me. The kitchen was run by 100% peruanos and the food was close enough to its original. The restaurant was pretty big and only opened outside terrace for the day. Live band was playing music and the atmosphere couldn’t be better.
I was told the neighborhood wasn’t a fancy one but couldn’t think of anything bad only with this lovely restaurant.
I tried ceviche, tiradito, pulpo al olivo(grilled octopus with olive sauce), vieiras, arroz norteño and fideo. Almost all of them were great.
The drinks options were limited, however. They had the Pisco sour but not chilcano. The Cusqueña beers, they only had dorada and malta. (Larger and wheetbeer)
Still, overall, I loved the place and would recommend this place to my friends in São Paulo.
Highly recommended.
