Should you wish to spend a day shopping, with a great spot to eat and recharge, the sleek JK Iguatemi mall, in Vila Olímpia, is an excellent choice, home to a wealth of luxury brands. On the third floor, this lively restaurant surprises with its design and luminosity — a vast, open space filled with plants that, in its own way, calls to mind the inside of a greenhouse. The acclaimed chef Helena Rizzo, who sets the direction of the restaurant, offers an extensive menu featuring some specialities from Maní, her MICHELIN-starred gastronomic restaurant. What should you order? Everything is delicio

Review summary

Maní in São Paulo offers contemporary Brazilian cuisine blending sophistication with local flavors. Reviews highlight its elegant atmosphere, refined design, and generally friendly service, though advance reservations are recommended for weekends. Dishes like pig tongue, freshwater fish, and gnocchi receive praise, alongside expert wine pairings. However, negative feedback points to disorganized service, extremely slow pacing, and inconsistent food quality. Some guests find the tasting menu overpriced for the portion size, leading to mixed experiences. While the ambiance is consistently appreciated, the overall satisfaction varies significantly based on service efficiency and culinary execution.

Suitable for diners prioritizing ambiance and wine pairings, but requires advance booking and managed expectations regarding service speed and portion sizes.
