A Figueira Rubaiyat

"This restaurant will undoubtedly impress every guest passing through its door with its magnificent hundred-year-old Bengal fig tree, whose branches and majestic crown can be admired through the glass roof. The menu is in line with the group’s usual culinary fare, with the star of the show being meat from their own estate. If you don’t fancy beef, don’t worry, as the restaurant also serves fish and savoury rice dishes." - Michelin Inspector

The massive fig tree growing through the center of the restaurant gives the place an extremely unique vibe! The food was exceptional, and the service was just as impressive. Loved everything about this place.

The place is very nice, food is good but not great as I thought. You can try the lunch options too. Staff were so friendly. The tree is awesome.

Amazing food, amazing service, and it’s very spacious too. We were a group of 11 people and even without reservations during lunch time, they had enough tables to give us one in less than 10 minutes after arriving. Highly recommended. I personally had the burger and pork ribs, and they were both great.

A Figueira Rubaiyat is an absolute gem in São Paulo, offering a dining experience like no other. Nestled under the shade of a magnificent fig tree, the ambiance is magical and elegant. The service is impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring every detail is perfect. The food is outstanding, showcasing top-quality ingredients and expertly crafted dishes. Their steak is melt-in-your-mouth perfection, and the desserts are divine. Whether for a romantic evening, a celebration, or simply a memorable meal, this restaurant truly stands out. A must-visit destination for anyone in São Paulo seeking exceptional cuisine and an unforgettable atmosphere!

A bit pricey but the food was delicious. The service was great. The ambiance was beautiful. Seems like a popular spot for business trips. I had the tiger shrimp and lemon risotto it was very good and my partner had the steak.

I had high expectations for this restaurant, as it had been praised very positively beforehand. The ambiance and service are indeed good and create a pleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food did not meet these expectations. My Denver steak, which I ordered medium rare, was served almost raw (“blue”). The Cesar’s salad and sides were fine, but definitely nothing special. What completely ruined the experience, however, was the bill: R$ 1,210.23 for three people is simply overpriced for the quality offered. Charging such a price for average food is unreasonable and almost insulting.

One of the best place in SP to have lunch. We had meat and had the executive menu. They have menu kids.

Queen beef was great! Caipirinhas are properly served (two might enough though) And the anniversary dessert is a must Nice quiet atmosphere and service is awesome

This is hands down one of my favorite places to eat in SP! Situated underneath the only Fig Tree in SP, this place is a vibe! It's so beautiful to sit and dine at night under the tree with the lights. Service is great and there is a lovely bar to enjoy as well. I always go for the picanha and it never disappoints! I was sad that on this trip they didn't have my favorite side dish...the mandioquinha (please bring it back)! I've never made it to dessert but have heard it's delicious. Anyone I recommend here is always raving about the experience. Put it on your list of places to eat in SP and enjoy!

The ambiance and view is spectacular. From the bar, washrooms and of course the magnificent tree and how the seating area embodies it. The service was good. The seafood platter was a tad salty for my personal taste, however, the platting was fantastic.

Very cool place to take clients or friends. There is a giant fig tree in the center and good music. Traditional South American meat restaurant - if you are not into meat, probably best to go elsewhere. If you are into meat, then this is your place. There is also an awesome gift shop that sells knives and other cool gifts to bring home.

Loved this place. Amazing tree inside fused into the decor. Really cool vibes for a high end restaurant. It is pricey but I had a wonderful experience and ordered a lot! The Kobe short ribs were disappointing though as it was half inedible fat than quality meat, also one of the priciest items on the menu. Wine selection was excellent, dessert was decedent but after all that, my favorite was the pao de queijo! Lovely spot, highly recommend.

Everything was amazing. Steaks were delicious. I had ojo de bife or rib eye. Cooked to perfection and amazing taste. Had various sides. Liked the batata soufle. These are puffed potato chips. Service was very attentive and on top of anything we needed. Atmosphere was very unique eating under an enormous tree. It was very loud so conversations required speaking loudly.

I have been to this restaurant two times and both were fantastic. It is popular so make a reservation. The service is very good but I will say it was better the first time than the second. The steak is high quality and the octopus is tender with great flavor. The rib appetizer as well as the salmon and beef carpaccio was great as well.

Top-shelf steakhouse in Sao Paulo. Their claim to fame is the fig tree that is growing in the middle of the restaurant. The structure of the building helps support the tree's canopy and you feel like you are dining in the forest (within reason). Everything is tasty and well prepared. Top quality beef can't be discounted as a choice for the main course but other options are available. The wait staff is moving quickly to bring you drinks and dishes as you order them.

Amazing place! Food, drinks, location, ambiance! The tree, FIGUEIRA RUBAIYAT, is 150 years old, the restaurant was built around it! It's an environmental heritage, it's definitely a majestic tree! Saturday is feijoada day, which is a typical Brazilian food with black bean and all kinds of pork meat! The side dishes are unbelievable! This is a must see! Service is not the best at all, yet the experience is so wonderful That I will keep the 5stars. When I'm São Paulo don't miss this spot! One more think the creme brûlée is one of the best I have tried in my life! EPIC!

This is an amazing restaurant. Service, atmosphere, menu, location, food & wine all 5 star. I asked the hotel front desk where they would recommend and they said Figueira. It was epic. Check out the pics I snapped. No need to rehash all the yelpers who have already said all that needs to be said about the 200 year old massive fig tree in the middle of the restaurant and the amazing food and service. This restaurant is legit world class. Memorable.... a rare dining experience.

The dining room was spectacular with a massive sprawling tree growing out of the roof. The staff were spectacularly attentive and friendly. When they brought out a complimentary bread basket and I rejected it because my party was late, they were gracious and served it later when they arrived. The Paella was spot on. Decadent with rich seafood stock and copious amounts of seafood proteins. Pricey, but well crafted. Not that I will repeat unless I needed a showy venue to impress my guests. Great place to see and be seen. A lot of guests arriving obviously recognized each other and spent some time hanging out.

The place is beautiful! Stunning, truly. The food is good, but the service was lacking. I came in at 5:30pm, a bit very busy time, with the dining area less than half full. It took 20 minutes for my drink to come, which was just the waiter pouring vermouth onto an ice cube. From when I ordered, it took an hour for my entree to come. I'm not sure if they forgot my order or what happened, but they didn't offer any recompense (maybe a language issue?) I have heard their service was good by colleagues, maybe I just wasn't lucky

The vibes are excellent, largely out in open air setting, big fig tree! Pricey, but the food and service is high quality. Tried the wagyu cut which was decent (not as good as Kobe beef in Kobe Japan but it's close ish). Would come back for special celebrations but otherwise quite pricey.

Excellent food and ambiance! Went to this restaurant after a long day of work in SP and we had an amazing dinner and a great time. The ambiance is second to none - - - beautiful and modern feeling with a real gigantic figueira tree in the middle of the dining area. But the food is the real amazing experience at this place - - - the top steak options you can get in São Paulo, and drink options are terrific as well. We had an amazing night! Highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.

On top of being a uniquely beautiful restaurant built around and under a tree, the staff was professional, kind and top notch. One waiter spoken exceptionally well English and while I tried my best - my pronunciation was terrible. I had the Palm Heart Noodles and a tuna tartare appetizer. It was good if not a little too "safe". I didn't feel adventurous nor as if I was enjoying the culture but it was satisfying. I had a strawberry meringue dessert which not only was beautiful presented but delicious. Glad I saved room. I definitely recommend the experience and make sure you make reservations.

I have been waiting to get a restaurant here for ages and was not disappointed! When my colleague and I came in for dinner, we were immediately taken in by the indoor-outdoor feeling, with soft evening light streaming in through the glass rooftop. I LOVE the fig tree in the center of the restaurant, which sets it apart (among other things that are highlights). Service was extremely attentive throughout the evening, from start to finish. The staff were good about quickly providing an English menu for my colleague, which she appreciated. We came in for an early dinner and were floored when our food was brought out in a flash! But it was hot, fresh, and delicious, so no complaints there. They have an excellent wine selection, with a handful of reds by the glass and extensive regional list, including ports, sherries, and dessert wines. I was particularly a fan of the Bordon Crianza. We started with the chips with roast beef carpaccio, which were excellent. I remember having a similar dish at Maní and loved seeing a similar preparation here. The saltiness of the chips alongside the lightly cooked beef was fantastic. The baby lamb, one of various meat options, was cooked perfectly and was a delight to the palate. The potatoes were like little clouds filled with gooeyness. All in all, I loved it here and will probably came back soon!

It has always been one of my favorites in São Paulo. The setting with a 200-yr old Fig tree is unique and very homie! I have visited many times before the Pandemic, and I loved to just order from the Appetizer menu! They were all wonderful. However, upon return after 20 months since March 2020, the menu must have changed a bit. A few of my favorite appetizers are no longer available! Nonetheless it still remains as one of my favorites! Here were a few of the dishes I have enjoyed over the years!

This is probably top 25 restaurants in the world for me. Just by what the tree does for the scene is simply amazing. The foot is spectacular as well, love the attention to the service and quality of food. Everything is really well thought out and I have been coming to this restaurant every time I visit São Paulo since 2018.

I spent six days in Brazil and did not have to pay one single meal. Yep. This was Wednesday night dinner. My colleague took me here because it was supposed to be good. We had to wait for twenty minutes which means in time for me to kill a quarter glass of their best caipirinha. Sitting under the big, I mean giant fig tree, I pondered the age old question - Is Brazilian steak better than Argentinian's without realizing this is an Argentinian restaurant - or at least by Yelp's classification. I didn't see the menu because the man at the table orders a meal for us. Try the beef, it's really good. Apparently I had local brahman beef with potato soufflé with farofa. First of all. Holy cow, the beef was the best I have ever had, way better than Peter Luger's. Hmm... I totally get why Americans love Brazil. Beef is better than America! Secondly.. farofa is delish. Totally knocked my socks off tasty. From Epicurious "Farofa is the term for a side dish using toasted farinha de mandioca--in English, manioc flour, which is a dried flour similar in looks and texture to breadcrumbs, made from yucca. The making of farofa as a dish couldn't be easier. It is plain manioc flour toasted in butter. A few of the classic farofa dishes include eggs and scallions, eggs and bacon, banana, bellpepper." So never mind, it's great but I don't think I'll be making that again. I'll just keep on going down to Brazil to eat that with my steak. Side dishes was great as well. Though my main focus was the steak. I heard that it's pricy. I have zero idea how bad it was, because I didn't see the check. My other favorite part was the way to get here, we passed so many super fancy houses. The restaurant felt very airy. That huge fig tree made a difference. Highly recommend those who are into steak.

Yelp
The steakhouse experience was underwhelming, to say the least. The food lacked the flavorful punch that I was expecting from a steakhouse. The steaks were decent but not outstanding, and the side dishes were mediocre at best. The service was also disappointing, with slow and inattentive staff. Overall, I was not impressed with my dining experience at this steakhouse.

One of my favorites spots in São Paulo. Great selection of meat cuts and seafood on their menu. Very pleasant ambiance and top notch service. Can get pricey, but it's reasonable for the zip code, service, and atmosphere. Always recommend this place to friends that are traveling to Brazil.

Went to Fugueira Rubaiyat twice, once on feijoada day and once off the a la carte menu. Both times the food tasted absolutely amazing. The moqueca and feijoada were big highlights. The dessert tower with coffee at the end was a great finish to the meal

The Tree. That's what I call it, and that's what the locals know it as if you do forget the name. Somehow my stress level drops a few notches when I come here, but after eating that Tomahawk, the cholesterol level just shoots up the charts. I'd take that tradeoff anytime. Cheese bread, red wine, and meat. That's all you really need. Oh yeah...that big tree too!

This restaurant was very cool. The fig tree that covers the whole restaurant obviously is the main attraction. I've never seen anything like it. As for the food I thought it was pretty good, but it was not quite as good as an American steakhouse. That's probably just because Brazilian steak differently than American steak. The Bourbon selection is slim but that was my own fault for getting bourbon in Brazil. I would definitely go back if I was in the area.

This is a wonderful restaurant. The fist thing you see when you come in is a huge ficus tree - hence the name - must be hundreds of years old. Food was terrific- I had the sole others at my table had other mouth watering fare. Service was very good.

This was my second time at Figueira Rubaiyat. If you're looking for a place with ATMOSPHERE, look no further. You will be sitting under a huge, 200-year-old fig tree (no longer producing figs) in the middle of Sao Paulo. Right near my hotel in the Jardim area, it is in a safe location that I felt comfortable walking around with others. Last time, we ordered an assortment of food. All of the cheese. All of the bread. All of the food babies. This time, we still ordered Pao de Queijo (CHEESE BREAD). After visiting Sao Paulo twice and Rio once, I have to say this place has THE BEST cheese bread in Brazil (from my experience so far!). The cheese is literally a part of the dough - not sure how they do it. This restaurant's cheese bread is more buttery than others I've had which is what sets it apart. For my dinner, I ordered the chicken dish. The chicken was pretty good. I ordered creamed corn for my side and this was also THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD. The rest of my group agreed as well. I also tried the Kiwi Caipirinha. If you're a fruit lover, try one of their fruity Caipirinhas. Warning: it will be strong! Just give it a few mixes and it is delish! For Americans who don't like to have dinner as late as Brazilians, you may not have to wait. I went on a Sunday and it was not busy at all. It seems like a lot of restaurants are slow for dinner on Sundays and Mondays (similar to the U.S.).

Lots of hipe about this place! Yes, it was good. I got mix messages in regards to needing a reservation. My opinion, call before you go (ask the concierge to make the call for you). This HUGE AMAZING FIG TREE is exactly eight long blocks from the hotel I was staying. I got an 8:30pm reservation and it felt perfectly safe to walk there on a Monday night. I got a reservation for a table 20 minutes before I arrived. This place was busy, busy, busy. They have a lot of big tables. I didn't expect it to be as busy as it was, given it was Monday night. They sat me on a small table against the wall, so I had a perfect view to the restaurant. And an amazing view of the fig tree. Pretty Cool! To my pleasant surprise, shortly after I sat a couvert plate was brought. It was perfect (good and light) to snack on while waiting to order and then waiting to get my food. A small plate with mini rolls of cheese bread and some other bread were warm and inviting. I ordered Pupunha palm heart baked in wood-burning oven with fresh curd and rocket for a starter. It was truly good as I was told it was going to be. I was glad I ordered this. For my entre... Levissimo (ribeye heart, marinated in chimichurri with portabello mushrooms and grilled chuncky and meaty tomatoes was served medium and it was good as expected. Two sauces: chimichuri and hot sauce were brought to the table for options. At my server's suggestion, I paired my meat with an argentinian red wine: Catena Malbec 2013. It was a good suggestion. A rosemary warm pretzel shaped bread was displayed on the table on a wooden pedastal to be eaten with butter. At first, I didn't even know it was a real piece of bread. Then I came to find out that it was bread for me to eat - when the server cleared out the table. I asked him - if it was real bread. He smile and asked me if I would like to try it, because it was good. He brought to me a new piece of bread and I have to say... I can't believe I almost missed out on this. Because the bread was savory and aromatic. Very good. I wanted to try dessert, but there was just no way I could. The meat entre was a very good size, so was the starter and so was the couvert plate. LOL! I did however order an ESPRESSO AMENO (medium strong), which was served with very cute petite cookies, petite madelines, petitie macaron, petite chocolate truffles,, petite dried fruit deeped in chocolate, etc. Beautifully presented on a stand. The end the evening, I was offered complimentary cachaca. They gave me two options to try: 1) con miel and 2) Enveguesida (aged). This is strong stuff. So, have just a little. All in all - I was there for 2 hours and I had a delightful time. It was a nice walk back to the hotel. I only wished the wifii had not been broken. As an out-of-town person, I have to say that wiffi at your dinner place is important.

Great ambience & decor. Clean environment. Delicious food, all dishes ordered were amazing. Sangria wasn't on the sweet side which is a breath of fresh air. Try the mix seafood dish with açafrão risotto - DELICIOUS! I'd recommend and will return.

The tree restaurant! We were told we *had* to visit here since apparently everyone visits the tree restaurant when in São Paulo. So that's what we did... I'd say in terms of the ambiance of the place, it's everything that was advertised. I mean, there's a huge tree growing in the middle of the restaurant! We also enjoyed the apps we ordered, including hearts of palm, a mushroom carpaccio, and some pretty tasty pork ribs. That said, the steaks we ordered were way below average compared to the other steakhouses we visited on our trip. Like way, way below. But, given that we went for the tree, the evening was a success... Go for the tree...

The restaurant with the fig tree is the restaurant you might hear of before your arrival in São Paulo. It's also the restaurant your hotel concierge might recommend. These two things are no coincidence and both were true in my case. Before arriving I'd read that a couvert (appetizer) platter would arrive on my table. This is something I will not have ordered but will be expected to pay for. I had no problem with such a concept but when that luscious platter was cleared and a duplicate platter arrived my concern began to grow. Would I now have to pay for a second platter? As I made my way through the second couvert plate I tried to get an answer to that question but the language barrier made that impossible. It wasn't until the third couvert platter was laid on my table that I knew for certain: I MUST know whether I'm paying for each platter individually. Somehow, some way, I eventually obtained a satisfactory answer to that question and my son and I dug into platter #3 with gusto. You pay only once for the couvert - a flat per person charge of R$27 per person (under $10 US apiece) - and can eat as much of it as you want. I like this couvert thing. The couvert was just the start of a beautiful experience. There's that gorgeous fig tree with its sprawling limbs providing a lovely ambiance, the glow of low lighting bathing everything in golden hues, and then there's the fabulous food and wine. The hotel concierge had confided that she liked their seafood, despite it being an Argentinian restaurant known for its meats. That enticed me to order a post-couvert starter of fresh grilled Portuguese sardines (R$49) and my son to opt for an Amazon Pirarucu (a Brazilian Sweet Water fish, R$120). There was nothing not to enjoy there but I crushed hardest on my Brangus Breed Ribeye with Souffle Potatoes (R$118). Two fabulous sauces, a chimichurri and a red pepper sauce, accompanied the beef. I don't often order a big piece of meat but I was smart to do so here. It was perfect. For the best possible experience at Figueira Rubaiyat I'd recommend you sit beneath the tree itself (it's a very big restaurant), enjoy the couvert for all its worth, order up a lovely piece of meat, and accompany the whole thing with some fine Argentinian wine. They feature "Tropical Breed" Kobe Beef but I had zero complaints about their less expensive Brangus Breed beef. Your concierge really does want you to be satisfied and I doubt your experience here will be anything but. (For the BRL challenged, this dinner for two with a bottle of Argentinian wine, tax, and tip ran R$489 which translated to $130.16; expensive for Brazil but completely reasonable relative to the prices of steak at purveyors in the US).

this is probably one of my top 10 favorite restaurants in the world. I've travelled a lot and this is by far one of my "go-to" places when I am in Sao Paulo. I came here for birthdays, meetings and it never disappoints. Start with the ambiance and low lighting, the tree in the middle of the yard with lights...the candles melted just enough. Your table is handled by several waiters/waitresses and service is always impeccable. I've just about had everything their menu and never had anything I did not like. I recommend making reservations and requesting outside patio sitting so you can get the full effect. They have amazing wine selection including one of my fav's Brunello di Montalcino....although I have probably had the last bottle. This is a great spot for a magical night.

Several friends recommended this restaurant. Gorgeously built around a 150 year old fig tree. The place is very elegant, and the restaurant is huge. Well-known for the meat, I must say that it was a little bit disappointing. My filet was ok. We also got the "seafood box" (shrimp, scallops, octopus and sea bass), again, good but memorable. For this price tag, there are better options in the neighborhood. Lots of hipe about this place, try it, the couvert and small chocolates with the coffee are very nice touches.

One of my favorite restaurants in São Paulo. The setting is beautiful, with a large outdoor seating area under a huge fig tree. Food quality is very high, excellent service, and extensive wine list. Menu includes all different types of meats, but also has a great selection of exotic fish and shell fish dishes. They always have a couple of Amazon river fish which are always a treat and not easy to find in other restaurants. Before dining, I recommend a Caipirinha made with my favorite Cachaça: Germana, from Minas Gerais. This appetitive will set the mood for a nice dining experience.

This restaurant is all about ambiance. The main attraction is the massive and beautiful fig tree. Quite impressive and unforgettable. The food on the other hand was nothing worth remembering. My table was a party of 4. We ordered the octopus, chicken, veggie pasta and the oven baked shrimp dish. We were all underwhelmed by the food. I personally had the shrimp and was flabbergasted to learn that it was the most expensive thing on our bill at a whopping R177 or $46 USD . It was 5 overcooked shrimp paired with a forgettable, bland orzo pasta. Do yourself a favor and just go by the restaurant and pay homage to the tree and keep your $$$ in your pocket.

First visit to South America, Brazil and São Paulo. We decided to eat lunch here and had a fabulous experience. The restaurant is very cool aesthetically with the large fig tree integrated into its decor. The staff is amazingly attentive, responsive and accommodating. The food was amazingly authentic and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Very pretty decor- there is a huge tree in middle of the restaurant. The place is actually bigger than it looks. I stayed in Brazil for 2 weeks and by this time I couldnt do steak anymore (blasphemy- i know- who am i?) any who, i ended up going with the Salmon! It was delicious, only con though- i asked for it "well done" and the middle of it was very pink. A companion got a humongous fish plate and said it was delicious. My companion's cousin got a steak- and it was delicious (i said i was done with steak but i really wasnt- i had a piece). The only reason why i gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because they didnt have mandioca fries. My last night in Brazil and i really wanted them! Also it was quite pricey-

Date of Visit: 4/7/16 Figueira is one of the more unique locations you could ever find. Housed within a greenhouse-like structure is a 150 year old fig tree, with branches extending out tens of feet, working their way across the restaurant. It's a really cool setting that you certainly don't see every day. I was with a large group that ordered quite a few various dishes. The Queen Beef was a favorite from the group, as well as the appetizer platter (various breads, spreads, etc.) that comes with every table. I enjoyed the Hearts of Palm salad and a "Grilled Box of the Sea" entree (lobster, scallops, octopus, shrimp, fish, risotto). Overall the seafood was ok, but lacked the flavor that I had experienced in other São Paulo locations; not what I would expect for one of the more famous eateries in the area. Overall I would go back to Figueira, but only after trying some of the other local options.

Food never disappoints. Love the updated menu. Prawns with pasta amazing. One of the beat caipirnhas in town. Drinks (and balloon for our daughter) delivered quickly, but service was otherwise off tonight. Slow to order. Forget husband's glass of wine.

I do not have enough good things to say about this restaurant. Seriously, this was probably one of the top 5 meals of my life and luckily for me, it just happened to be on my birthday. From the moment you walk in, this place is just magical. There are a million tables around this gigantic tree in the front of the restaurant. It's gorgeous. Everything about the setting is just gorgeous. We walk up to the host stand and she lets us know that it'll be about 20 minutes. We decided to head over to the bar to enjoy a glass of red before dinner. The bar service was impeccable, they brought us small appetizers and things to munch on while we waited for our table. Soon enough our table was ready and we walked over. My friend decides on the seafood risotto and I decide on the ribeye. They kept bringing us things to munch on so we did just that but when our food finally arrived, we were literally in food heaven. I couldn't believe how GOOD this ribeye was. It was unbelievable! My friend loved her seafood risotto as well. We proved this by eating everything on our plates and that is a rare thing for me to do. At the end of our meal, they sang happy birthday to me and brought out pastries for both my friend and I, which was very sweet. If you are in Sao Paulo, you NEED to come here. Yes, it's a bit expensive, but I promise it is worth every penny. This was the highlight of my time in Sao Paulo and it's because everything was perfect. The venue, the service, and the food were all at the top of its game.

We had a special event here. . So we got some amazing apps to snack on, really good. We then sat down and got those absolutely delicious cheese balls which seem to be a staple in the Brazilian diet :) . But these are the best examples I have had to date. Next we had a salad which was OK and more cheese, buns :) . Then we had steaks, not bad but not earth shattering either. Dessert were ok but I find Brazilian desserts so so. Very sweet, creme brulee like stuff...
