"After a decade running Banzeiro in Manaus — a city at the entrance to the Amazon forest — chef Felipe Schaedler decided it was time to open a branch in São Paulo to bring his unconventional dishes and rainforest ingredients to the city. The space reflects the union of those two places, with elegant furniture and tableware accented by a green wall, tropical plants, and a massive canoe hanging on one wall. Schaedler begins diners with finger food like Amazonian tambaqui fish ribs with sweet-sour sauce, bao stuffed with fried pirarucu (another Amazonian fish), and pickled victoria amazonica (an Amazonian flower) with wild arugula. Check out the chef’s special, a whole tambaqui slow-roasted over coals and served with classic regional side dishes such as tiny, yellow santarém beans and farofa (toasted flour sautéed with mix-ins) made with manioc flour from Uarini." - Rafael Tonon

"Banzeiro is a breath of fresh air on Sao Paulo’s culinary scene. Chef Felipe Schaedler made the leap to this Brazilian metropolis from Manaus, where he has two other restaurants, in order to popularise the flavours and cooking of the Amazon. In this vibrantly decorated space, discover dishes—many cooked on the grill—that are contemporary, delicate and highly visual. Make sure to try river fish, such as pirarucú and tambaquià, as well as the highly unusual saúva ant with a mandioquinha foam." - Michelin Inspector

Cozy restaurant with menu highlighting Amazon food - fish and other ingredients sourced directly from the region. Had a yucca puree served with two ants - creamy, delicious and the ants brought an unusual spice flavor. Main course was a fish filet with three ribs - it was moist, mild flavored. Felt the dish could use a bit more fresh flavors, be it from more fruit or some acidity. Chocolate cake for dessert was delicious. Service was very good and professional, as expected of a well-received Sao Paulo restaurant where excellent service is the norm.

We had a great night at Banzeiro with my sister. It’s a good place to try Amazonian cuisine, though we realized it’s not our favorite—not their fault, just personal taste! We had a reservation and arrived after a long day, unaware it was a fancy restaurant. No one mentioned our dress code, but smart casual would feel more fitting. Everyone, from the doorman to the waitstaff, was super nice, making the experience enjoyable. Also, it’s a Michelin-recognized restaurant, though I’m not sure if it has a star or is just on the list.

This is restaurant is well known by typical Brazilian food, specifically from the North region (Amazon). The food and atmosphere are good. Considering São Paulo standards, the prices are reasonable. As starters, we tried the famous ants with cassava mousse and was interestingly good. Highly recommended for a different Brazilian food experience.

I am an amazonia food enthusiast and loved all plates I had. I had a change to taste x-camboquinho and tambaqui when I've been visited Manaus and that time could recall same experience. I also recommend duck in Tucupi, it was the first time I had it and was my favorite one.

We came in at 14:30 during a weekday and the place was nearly empty. So we had all the attention of the waiter. Amazing food, very original and tasty. Portions are not very large though but sufficient if you are a starter and main dish. Nice interior with a canoe on the wall

The food was excellent and very unique. I liked the interior of the restaurant. The service, however, was just fair. I had the Saluva Fresh cocktail, which was delicious. I had the Shrimp and Pirao as my appetizer. Tambaqui rib as my main course. And the cupuaçu with chocolate brigadeiro as my dessert. All of the food was excellent.

Absolutely loved this restaurant. Food was delicious from start to finish. Went all in for the experience started with the ants and split the whole fish. Great experience, would recommend to anyone staying in the city.

Yesterday we’ve had a wonderful food experience at Banzeiro. From beginning to the end the service was wonderful and very helped us with every question. We followed the recommendations and ordered 2 starters and the fish as a main. Everything was delicious and fresh. My personal highlight was the banana tartar. Highly recommend this place
