2 Michelin star restaurant showcasing indigenous Brazilian ingredients
"Housed in a three‑storey building around the Museu da Casa Brasileira, Tuju offers an immersive, season‑driven degustation that begins with bites and wines on the ground floor, moves through an open kitchen on the second floor, and culminates at a rooftop bar with neighborhood views; I noted a sharp focus on local São Paulo products, top‑rated service (this year's Service Award) and a Green Star for environmental practices like recycling, rainwater reuse and composting." - The MICHELIN Guide
"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
