"If a combination of art and excellent food appeals to you, this restaurant in the Instituto Moreira Salles, recognised as one of the best cultural centres in the city, is definitely the place for you, where you can savour the brilliant cuisine of chef Rodrigo Oliveira. The cooking here is centred around the best ingredients, with everything prepared with faultless skill and professionalism. The aim is to mix the flavours from the diverse cultures across Brazil (a “balaio” is a typically Brazilian “straw basket”), in dishes such as the famous “dadinhos de tapioca”, and Pork Ribs with guava barbecue and kale furikake or the delicious Lasagna caipira made with kale pasta, fresh ricotta and a delicate pumpkin béchamel sauce gives an indication of why this restaurant is always full!" - Michelin Inspector
"Chef Rodrigo Oliveira's restaurant located at Instituto Moreira Salles, exploring Brazil's diverse culinary traditions with dishes like pirão and quindim." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Also situated in São Paulo’s working-class suburb of Vila Medeiros, Balaio IMS is mentioned alongside Mocotó as one of Oliveira’s celebrated restaurants that has drawn international acclaim, helping establish the chef’s reputation and the expectations surrounding his Los Angeles opening." - Matthew Kang
"A project founded by the same chef in the outer São Paulo neighborhood of Vila Medeiros, positioned alongside his other local ventures and tied to his emphasis on community-rooted gastronomy and producing authentic Brazilian fare for neighborhood diners." - Matthew Kang
"Occupying the same modern building as the Instituto Moreira Salles, this restaurant is an excellent place in which to discover and enjoy chef Rodrigo Oliveira’s simple, fresh and attractive cuisine in the centre of São Paulo. In this modest setting, enjoy a combination of the successful dishes first created in the Mocotó restaurant, the latter, in particular, bringing a more traditional family-style influence to the dishes served here. Some tables are shared." - Michelin Inspector
