"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

"Meanwhile, in São Paulo, inspectors praised Tuju for having 'some of the city's most interesting cooking,' in addition to celebrating two new one-starred restaurants on the list, Ryo Gastronomia (Japanese) and Tangará Jean-Georges (French, new from Jean-Georges Vongerichten)."

From the moment you step inside this beautiful restaurant, you're enveloped in an atmosphere of elegance and precision that rivals Michelin-starred dining experiences in New York. The service is nothing short of impeccable—attentive without being intrusive, and each member of the staff spoke perfect English, ensuring a seamless dining experience from start to finish. The attention to detail here is truly remarkable, a hallmark of establishments that pride themselves on delivering only the highest standards. Every course of the tasting menu was a culinary masterpiece, expertly crafted with fresh, vibrant flavors that danced on the palate. The wine selection was equally impressive, offering a range of carefully curated options. If there’s one thing I wish, it would be the ability to order seconds of those unforgettable dishes! Each bite left me wanting just a little bit more, a testament to how extraordinary the food truly was. This restaurant is a gem, where culinary artistry meets exceptional hospitality—a must-visit for anyone seeking an elevated dining experience.

My husband and I enjoy visiting Michelin restaurants around, all distinctions. Until yesterday, I had the impression that Michelin restaurants in Brazil are not comparable to the internationals one, in the same distinction. But yesterday, Tuju changed my mind, we though you are, so far, the best in SP, it is totally comparable to some two stars Michelin we visited around, and we must confess we could place Tuju in our top 5. Speaking of two stars Michelin, not that we visited all in Brazil, we have only been at Evvai, which didn’t ring the bells. My favorites are CODA in Berlin, Narisawa in Tokyo. My husband prefers Tim Raue, Horváth, both in Berlin, and Narisawa. Now we add Tuju. We had a very great experience at Tuju, the food was very very good, from amuse bouche to desserts. The service impeccable. The only think we could comment was the petit four in the end, they were Brazilian style too heavy in sugar for our taste, but we totally understand you must please your Brazilians clients, that are probably the majority.

2 Star Michelin restaurant, one year after reopening at a 3 floors restaurant, you begin your journey with the hostess who guide you to the bar where you get some drinks (alcohol free for me) and some hors d'oeuvre. When the table is set someone will guide you to the first floor (lift or stairs) passing through a hallway to a wooden door where you are welcomed by your name to the table where the menu experience will take. The menu changes as the seasons and I had “Temporada de Umidade” 8 courses falling by 2 of desserts. It takes by 1h30 where again you’re guided to the top floor with an open space and a mirror pool, a place to relax, get a tea, a coffee or a digestifs, get to know the local chocolaterie and taste some of their best. That’s the final destination where you get the check and gets in the real world. Chef Ivan Ralston is the one in charge of this experience who is always present and leading the staff with great knowledge.

Fantastic experience. Food was excellent, definitely exceeded my expectation. The highlight was the hospitality. Definitely the most enjoyable fine dining experience that I had in Latin America.

Magic experience from beginning to end. Come hungry. Worth every penny. This is dining at its best.

Almost every single dish is of a rare perfection. Yet, somehow this perfection kills some of the magic and it all feels a little…unnecessary. It feels like a demonstration rather than a real experience, even more so because we left hungry. The crayfish, porc and peas, the duck, artichoke, coconut with incredibly surprising apple cider pairing hit the spot. On the other hand, we would rather have done without the first two wines of the South American wine pairing (it appears that i generally hate Peruvian wine), and the chocolat gift basket at the end. All the dishes seem far more memorable than i initially thought. After two weeks, I still cannot stop thinking about … all of them.

Excellent experience from start to finish. From the moment you enter the front door, the staff are incredibly attentive and make sure that you're looked after at every step. Food was wonderful and having the kitchen in the middle of dining room and being able to watch your food being prepared and created was fantastic. You could observe the head chef watching over all his chefs to ensure each dish that was sent out was perfect... and it was close to perfect! Our favourite dishes were the Asparagus, green curry and quail egg, the Lobster and the Tangerine Loquat and yuba dessert. The pacing of the degustation was perfect also... allowing 5-10 minutes between each dish so that the whole dinner was complete within 2 hours. And if you wanted to stay longer you could go upstairs to their bar area. We loved every part of this experience!
