FITÓ Restaurante e bar - Pinheiros

"It’s not by chance that this restaurant occupies a charming, whitewashed property with blue windows – an external decor that is reminiscent of houses in inland areas of northeast Brazil, a part of the country that provides the inspiration for the cooking here. Under the baton of chef Cafira Foz, the exclusively female team creates cuisine that combines traditional flavours with an international touch. On the menu, there are options such as the authentic “paçoca” (shredded sun-dried beef served with “baião de dois” and plantains), a simple dish yet one full of strong flavours. For dessert, the “pirangi” (whole cashews with apple jam and “requeijão de corte” cheese), showcases genuine Brazilian flavours that will certainly leave their mark. Why not round off the experience with one of Fitó’s innovative cocktails prepared by the skilful and talented hand of bar manager Renata Adoración?" - Michelin Inspector

Fitó

"This restaurant pays homage to the culture and cooking of northeast Brazil – one of the country’s most popular cuisines. What stands out at this simple restaurant is the authenticity of the food and the enthusiasm of the owners, with the wife running the kitchen and her husband out front. The menu focuses on hearty cooking from the state of Piauí and includes daily specials and north-eastern classics such as Carne de Sol and Arroz Maria Isabel. The petiscos on the counter are well worth trying!" - Michelin Inspector
