Tordesilhas

My friends and I enjoyed our meals, we had 4 separate dishes and they were all pretty good.

Possibly the most disappointing meal we had in Sao Paulo. We had high expectations given the reviews but the food lacked flavour and was very bland and needless to say, not worth the price.

Wow what a place, found as a second choice. The food is immense. Not too many dishes but the ones one the menu they nailed.

THE BEST MEAL I'VE HAD IN A LONG TIME! I was in Sao Paulo with friends and we decided to go to Tordesilhas for lunch. The experience was TOP NOTCH from the moment we arrived. There was a little wait but they had a lovely room downstairs where we could relax, while sipping on some amazing Caipirinhas, and order some apps. The FOOD was absolutely fantastic. I've been to numerous Michelin Star Restaurants all over the world, and I want to say, the food at Tordesilhas is UP there with many other renowned establishments. The staff was on point; professional, kind and efficient. I highly recommend. Will be back for sure.

Truly incredible food. Nice atmosphere and great service. We had the carne-seca appetizer that comes with the queijo cubes, very delicious. As entrees we had the Moqueca Capixaba de Peixe e Camarão and pork ribs, *chefs kiss. A must visit in Sao Paulo

We went there on Saturday, July 2023. It was around 14:00. There were only occupied tables. We made a reservation. It’s better to make reservation in advance. We ate Moqueca de peixe e camarao. And Feijoada served only Saturday. It was traditional but great tasting.

What a great experience: amazing food, cozy and warm atmosphere, great service. Tordesilhas is rooted in quality, taste, and tradition. We would definitely come again.

R$30-50 starters R$70-130 mains R$30-50 desserts Brazilian traditional dishes with a modern twist. Affordable prices for fine dining, and absolutely delicious.

Highly reviewed restaurant in Jardim area. Had to try the soup in the coconut shell bowls , the Amazonian fish came with a piece of fried fish skin, it reminded me of some dishes from my home country, the fish skin was very crispy and not fishy at all.

Named for a city in Spain where the treaty defining areas of dominion of overseas territories between Portugal and Spain was signed, Tordesillas has been serving São Paulo for over 28 years, and focusing on everything from daily favorites to celebration plates the Restaurante offers visitors a glimpse into Brazil's culinary traditions. Located at Alameda Tiête 489 inside what appears to be a former residence, Chef Mara Salles bringing an artisan approach to plates seasonal yet storied, it is immediately upon seating that diners will notice small bowls of Zucchini Chips alongside small bottles, the latter containing housemade fermented Peppers that are anything but mild. More diverse than many of Brazil's fine dining menus, several items offered in half-portions allowing even solo diners an opportunity to sample broadly, it was after questions were answered by English-fluent staff that an order was placed, assertions that four plates were "too much" quickly disproven and even allowing capacity for a pair of Desserts. Built on the investigation of Brazilian techniques and Ingredients, a belief "that tradition is the base for innovation" fueling Chef Salles' attempt to push boundaries while still honoring the past, it is with a quartet of Appetizers that most guests will choose to begin, everything basic but enjoyable and highlighted by tender cubes of Beef with Butter and Onions that can be augmented for texture by a side of Manioc Flour. Serving several styles of Cachaca from the Bar, a housemade version the base of "Forro du Caju Amigo" which is both creamy and intensely sweet, it was with the Restaurant less than 1/8 full that course two came quickly, the northern Soup known as Tacacá still boiling hot and vibrant with Tucupi and Jambu fortified by River Shrimp, the extract of Manioc Root strongly acidic to the point where even a small bowl left the mouth tingling as if exposed to Novocain. Treated next of fried Pirarucu, an enormous River Fish whose delicate flavors paired nicely to citrusy Pickles, it was on the server's recommendation that "Bobozinho de Camarão" rounded out savories, a texture not dissimilar to Panang Curry here less heated with a multitude of flavors built around Shellfish. Slow to receive Dessert, though resting amidst Tordesillas' honey décor is anything but unpleasant, it was after perhaps twenty minutes that two plates arrived simultaneously, the Chocolate Cake with Coffee, spice and what seemed to be Apple Compote decidedly unique while warm Coconut Cake with thick Ice Cream and Tamarind Sauce defined "ugly delicious."

Numerous people have told us is a great place for traditional Brazilian fare, done up in a slightly more posh manner. And, that's exactly what it was. Add a few white tablecloths, a wine list, etc., but all the "usual suspects" of Minas Gerais regional cuisine. Chilies on the table, check! Feijoada for one, check! H's dish of choice - started with a couple of linguiça, little sausages, and some chicharrones, crispy pork fat, and some sauce for dipping, followed by the ubiquitous array of the bean, meat, and sausage stew, farofa (toasted yuca flour), a small pot of different beans, and couve (steamed shredded collard or similar greens). And, several people had told me that this place had one of the best bobo de camarãoes in the city, a sort of shrimp chowder in coconut milk thickened with yuca flour, with, here, two quenelles of steamed yuca porridge, and farofa on the side... I am yuca-ed out. But it was delicious, as was H's feijoada. Definitely a recommended spot. With a couple of waters and tip, R$208 ($50).

Went out with family to see what Tordesilhas was all about. Quaint little place with a good atmosphere. Definitely a traditional Brazilian cuisine with a modern twist. Everything from Drinks, appetizers, main course and even dessert (I'm not one for sweets) looked and tasted amazing. I would definitely recommend this Resturant to anyone!

Very good mix of Brazilian typical food! Focus is northern good! Amazon fish - Pirarucu plus tacaca stew and soup! No plates lower than 50 reais! Selection of Brazilian wines! Pricy in my view. Go for the Argentinian or chilean!

Love this place, very good tapas, coming from spain it was a good transition to always remember those classic Spanoard streets with good food. Good and knowledgable staff

Great Brazilian food. Very attentive service. Nice restaurant to have a conversation since it is quiet and relaxed. Ask for bolinho de mandioca com parmesão for starters. Entrees are shareable.

longstanding top brazilian (upscale) food. recommend the moqueca (fish and/or shrimp stew). tasting menu also inexpensive, large portion with variety and great to try (can split it). pork ribs nice with kale and feijoada. great dessert with cointreau and cupuaçu ice-cream serviced inside the caramelized banana and orange syrup

The food is fantastic! Wonderful ambiance, the chef visited all the patrons and explained the origins of the dishes & ingredients. The staff is wonderful, especially Fernandes and Zé, we were treated to their attentive service and perfect suggestions. Definitely a place we will visit again and again.

After hearing lots of good words about it, on a very short period I had in Sao Paulo, I managed to go, because I was REALLY craving for Barreado - a Brazilian Southern dish - more specific - from Parana, where I was raised - so, EXTREMELY familiar with the dish. It wasn't bad at all... but... it was not superb as well... I was really expecting more... the entrees - very minimal - Chef - very friendly. Cachaca selection - REALLY good and waiters (not servers) very knowledgeable about it. I was able to try some awesome new stuff - a very good experience, but I was still expecting more...

A very memorable dinner in Brazil. Mara, the chef, was very gracious in providing suggestions on what I should savor for the evening. Brava!
