"There’s a pan-Latin American vibe to this alleyway restaurant, named after the Colombian island where its chef learnt to swim. The focus is on seafood, with influences from around the continent, resulting in dishes like Colombian patacones and Peruvian ceviche. The trick is to order at least one thing from each of the four main sections, loosely translated to “crunchy,” “raw and spicy,” “grilled,” and “pot-cooked.” The cooks are a dab hand at balancing sour, salt, and spice, so the scallop ceviche sings, especially with its crispy chili sauce reminiscent of Chinese lao gan ma. Don’t miss the grilled squid or octopus cooked over coals, or the mussels in coconut milk and pisco sauce with chunks of crispy arepa. Killer cocktails add to the fun." - tome morrissy swan

"You’ll find this small restaurant with a pleasant and relaxed ambience in a charming property called Villa San Pietro tucked away along Rua Augusta. Here, the main focus is on fresh fish and seafood cooked on the grill, as if you were dining by the seaside. Colombian Dagoberto Torres, who arrived in São Paulo when he was a youngster, decided to use all his knowledge of maritime ingredients to the benefit of his own eatery. The menu offers options such as oyster and shrimp tostadas, different types of ceviche and grilled dishes that include the catch of the day, pitù, tuna, squid, octopus etc, all prepared with a creative flair and lots of flavour. We recommend pairing these culinary delights with some of the delicious cocktails on offer here." - Michelin Inspector
"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
