In a non-descript residential neighborhood far from the hubbub on Paulista Avenue, there's this gem of a restaurant where they care about every single detail. It's like going to a wealthy aunt's place where she only allows you to visit twice a year, but you do feel special when she does. This being Brazil, she is not cooking herself, but an expertly trained home chef.
The mushroom risotto was earthy, lip-smacking rich and accentuated with slices of duck breast. The presentation and flavors were exquisite. My companion had a short rib with gnocchi which was equally delightful.
Adding wine, this was not a cheap meal, but definitely worth the visit. It's not every day food, but visiting this aunt is a true treat when you make the effort to come to this part of town.
