Cozy and welcoming, this São Paulo gem delights with handmade dishes from small producers, a stellar wine selection, and attentive service that keeps diners coming back.
"Cepa made its home in the Tatuapé neighborhood, instantly becoming one of those comforting local restaurants that seems to have been around forever. Chef Lucas Dante serves organic-inflected cuisine while sommelier Gabrielli Flemming pairs everything with a concise, smart wine selection. The menu options are few but satisfying. There’s always fresh fish, along with simple, delicious recipes such as breaded pork loin with potato salad, spaghetti carbonara, and braised mussels on toast with peperonata and pil pil sauce." - Rafael Tonon
"If you like the idea of a seasonally inspired dining experience, escape São Paulo’s hectic business district and head for this unassuming restaurant—located in a residential district close to the São Luiz hospital. Here, chef Lucas Dante—who runs Cepa with his sommelier wife—focuses on creativity, ensuring that his cooking is always fun and based on products sourced daily from the market. The tasting menu is available in the evening and is a worthy option." - Michelin Inspector
