2-Michelin-star dining with indigenous Brazilian ingredients
"If a great dining experience appeals to you, the new Tuju has opened its doors in this elegant three-storey building that lives and breathes food just a few metres from the Museu da Casa Brasileira (MCB), in a quiet street in the Jardim Paulistano district. The experience begins at the entrance on the ground floor, which is also home to both the wine cellar and an internal garden. The restaurant itself is on the second floor with a large open kitchen surrounded by tables, while the third floor is the setting for a large bar with a view. Chef Ivan Ralston, well supported by a great team of cooks, is fully committed to gastronomy in a profound way, using his knowledge to combine seasonal Brazilian products and flavours (especially from São Paulo) with the most contemporary European techniques, and always with a focus on creativity and research. The weather conditions of each individual season determine the composition of his tasting menu." - Michelin Inspector
"Chef Ivan Ralston's São Paulo restaurant that kept its two-star Michelin rating in 2019, praised for a focus on indigenous Brazilian ingredients and inventive, ingredient-driven cooking." - Monica Burton
"All two-MICHELIN-starred restaurants in the 2018 guide retained their status in 2019: Oro in Rio de Janeiro, as well as Tuju and D.O.M. in São Paulo." - Abbe Baker
