Barú Marisquería

"This small restaurant with an attractive and relaxed ambience serves fish and seafood with a focus on freshly caught ingredients cooked over the barbecue, a familiar sight on Brazilian beaches but not as popular in the city where grilled meat options are more common. Proud of his Latin-American origins, Colombian chef Dagoberto Torres also includes a choice of superb ceviche dishes on his menu. Simple presentation, yet packed with flavour!" - Michelin Inspector

"Thirty-two restaurants received Bib Gourmand designations in the 2019 red guide, seven of which are new. In São Paulo, A Baianeira, Colombian chef Dagoberto Torres’s Barú Marisquería, modern-Korean restaurant Komah, Cesar Costa's Corrutela and Balaio IMS are new entrants." - Abbe Baker

"After leaving the acclaimed ceviche restaurant Suri Ceviche & Bar, Colombian chef Dagoberto Torres is back, now with his own marisqueria — a restaurant dedicated to all kinds of fresh seafood. Located in a quiet village within one of the busiest areas of the city, Barú  features everything from clams to patacones (fried green plantains) with tuna tartare to a crunchy shrimp tostada. But Dagoberto’s iconic ceviche dishes can be found here as well, gathered under a section of the menu called levanta muertos. To drink, there’s a small but excellent list of cocktails, like the tiquira tonic with tiquira, an indigenous Brazilian spirit made from cassava." - Rafael Tonon
