By Sueli Loiola. Review by Adam Palmer Capim Santo is a restaurant which you can can visit here in Sao Paulo and in Trancoso (a village near Porto Seguro, Bahia). Morena, the chef of restaurant, grew up in the kitchen of her parents. She traveled to France and graduated in a school of Cordon Bleu. In her time, she acquired a high degree of culinary expertise from the home of haute cuisine. Her philosophy is based in healthy food. She works with her knowledge on culinary techniques French and Brazilian ingredients. You are certain to find variety and richness in her menu. Also, you will absorb a true atmosphere of Brazilia the second you walk through the door. The tables are situated among Pitangueiras, bananas, coconut and Jabuticabeiras trees as you can see in the pictures. The Menu The buffet has six stations at lunch time which is divided in vegetables, pasta, proteins, tapioca, etc. During dinner/a la carte the menu is divided in Classic of Capim Santo and Season Menu according to seasonality of products. Capim Santo also caters for events as Wedding, Baptism, Meetings, Congresses, etc. Bookings for these can be made by phone or e-mail. The staff of Capim Santo are always available to ask for more informations. If you are excited and curious to know more about Morena and the restaurant, you can read more information on the website and contact them (if you're here in Sao Paulo no matter what the reason). Finally, it's good to know how many chefs here have fallen in love for Brazilian cookery and how passionate and creative they are in presenting this gorgeous food for you. I'm sure you might love it as we love it here. Al. Ministro Rocha Azevedo, 471 – Jardins Phone +5511 3089-9500 | |
