Delicious skewers. Great atmosphere, excellent decor, clean and well-ventilated. The only downside is the very loud music… but that's a matter of taste!

I simply loved it, well located, pleasant atmosphere, attentive and polite waiters, the food was very tasty and succulent, we ordered the "mexidao" (a type of mixed dish) and it was simply delicious. I found the prices good, good value for money, I intend to return to try the appetizer buffet, I recommend it and we will definitely be back...

One of the best bars in São Paulo! The service is very good and fast, with several efficient waiters. The waiting time is generally quick (~10min). The food is tasty and offers great value for money. The dishes are good for those who are hungry and want to have lunch there. It's also a great place to go at night, to eat appetizers and also the all-you-can-eat skewers (R$ 75 per person).

The food was very good and reasonably priced, plus the portions were generous, with many options including meat, fish, and chicken. I didn't have any problems with cold food, quite the opposite! Iced beer and Amstel for R$13.90, which I thought was great. They have options for appetizers and draft beer/drinks. My friends and I were very well attended to and we liked all the dishes. I didn't stay inside, but I thought the outside area was great, except for the mosquitoes that were around (but that's not the restaurant's fault). I recommend it and when I can, I will return again!

One of the best Parmigiana dishes I've ever had! Very generous portion, I ordered delivery, the chicken is super juicy and well-seasoned, and the potatoes are nice and crispy! I couldn't take a decent picture because it was a rush at lunchtime, but it's totally worth it! I highly recommend it.

The potato and pastry portions were great and generous! I tried to eat the fritters (which I've heard are famous, but unfortunately they didn't have any because of the end of the year, but I'll be back to try them ) The shrimp was excellent and also very generously served! Worth the visit
