"The city’s long legacy of Syrian and Lebanese cuisine is best exemplified by traditional spots like Brasserie Victoria. For more than 50 years this family restaurant has served a pitch-perfect puff pastry sfiha, a pizza-like dish very popular in Lebanon and Syria. Founder Victória Feres’s recipe has not changed over the years, and the pastries always arrive at the table crispy and tender." - Rafael Tonon

"It is estimated that around ten million inhabitants of Lebanese descent live in Brazil. Esfihas (a type of Arab pizza) and quibes (meat croquettes) are as popular here as Brazilian staples such as pão de queijo (cheese bread) and coxinhas (chicken croquettes) and are sold at almost every Brazilian street stall. The Brasserie Victória, run by the same family for over 40 years, is nowadays considered the symbol of Lebanese presence in São Paulo, serving authentic, family-style cooking that represents the varied cuisine of their homeland. Make sure you try a little of everything." - Michelin Inspector

A very nice Lebanese restaurant (Cafe/bar/bakery). The place is not exactly like a restaurant but more like a trattoria or brasserie as they call but the cuisine is Lebanese. The food taste and quality is very close to real Lebanese food. The options are quite nice and the service was very good as well. It is a good choice of place and it is value for money absolutely.

Traditional Lebanese restaurant that has been around for over 50 years. They serve solid middle eastern fare, though you can find tastier options elsewhere - 3 stars for me equals “good”. They offer up a good number of vegetarian options, though their meat dishes are probably what they are best know for. It considered by some to be one of the best middle eastern establishments in town. My ratings was based on a single visit, where we ordered esfihas, tabouleh, labneh and pita breads. The tabouleh was good but not as fresh as we in other Lebanese establishments. The labneh was respectable but lacked some creaminess. The esfihas were flavorful but had some flaws. The mozzarella one suffered from an over abundance of cheese, while the zahtar one was too oily. Though this place would not be a top choice for me, I would gladly return to eat here again.

Amazing experience. Best Lebanese food in town. It is an institution of Sao Paulo.

One of the worst “lebanese” restaurants i’ve been to in Sao Paulo, a city which has a large lebanese community yet no real lebanese food. They serve a tasteless Kibbe Neyye without toum (garlic paste), their fattouch is basically a chopped lettuce with some tomates, cucumbers and stale bread. The hard to find pieces of bread and not baked nor oiled as they should be, and the radish is nowhere to be seen, nor is the pomegranate syrup. Can this actually be called a Fattoush? Avoid

It's a laid back place, the ambience is pleasant and good service too. The food is faithful to the Lebanese tradition and really good. Very good desserts too. And a very decent price. Warmly recommended.

Unassuming laid back atmosphere with amazing Lebanese dishes. Nothing fancy though. A bit pricey but one of a kind! The bread comes hot and stuffed. Get "coalhada seca", babaganuj and "kibe crú". The esfihas are all delicious. And deserts are all incredible. You cab buy it all to go.

Some of the best middle eastern food I've had. I'm Lebanese and this was comparable to my grandmothers cooking. Definitely going to come back and try more options during my stay here. The bread comes out hot and is so fresh! I ordered tabouli, chicken kabob, and grape leaves and was very pleased.

French is widely spoken, across many countries in the world. But, how would I (or you?) ever figure out that this french-named restaurant is a lebanese oasis? Widespread in Brazil as arabic food, lebanese food is even tastier in this restaurant that also offers an all-you-can-eat version. A friend of mine was impressed to see how much the recipes there look like the ones he uses to have back at his home country. I'm a big fan of starters, and I could probably make my way through the meal here only with them (as I've done a couple of times), so that's my suggestion. Grab at least one puff pastry sfiha (on the warm side) and some raw kibbeh (if you're into it). If you'd prefer to take the usual step ahead, go for the kafta.
