We are so happy we found this place as we left the children’s library across the street. Wonderful lunch buffet with very clearly labeled vegan and vegetarian options. Very helpful and friendly staff. The chef who made the food was there to answer any questions we had. Superb selection with wonderful flavor and peak freshness. Lovely atmosphere. Bright and cozy. Owner noticed I was speaking English to my son and came and had a very pleasant conversation with us. She used to live in the U.S. We can’t wait to come back on our next trip to São Paulo!
