D.O.M.

The 35 Best Restaurants in São Paulo, Brazil | Eater

"Alex Atala is arguably the most acclaimed Brazilian chef in the world. With the help of his longtime right-hand man, Geovane Carneiro, and young innovative chef Rubens Salfer, Atala works to highlight and reinterpret Brazilian cuisine and its ingredients in a modern and creative way at two-Michelin-starred D.O.M. The tasting menu explores regions across the country, touching on ingredients and precontact techniques of Indigenous Brazilian peoples. Dishes include salted pirarucu fish with açaí tapenade, momotaro tomato stuffed with ripe bacuri (a sweet and sour native fruit), and many preparations using manioc. Meals are ended with a sticky brigadeiro made with Yanomami mushrooms." - Rafael Tonon
