Haven’t had much room for dessert on this trip which is ironic given the fabled Brazilian sweet tooth but here are two at @balaioims in the institute Moreira Salles - the second more casual restaurant of one of the city’s leading chefs, @rodrigomocoto. Brazil’s take on îles flottantes but made with coconut with a crunchy coconut crumble on the side (SO good) and one made with yellow fruits including pequi, caja sorbet and passion fruit pulp. Also a wonderful fish dish made from arapaima which comes from the Amazon. Really bold flavour, beautifully presented. Brazilian food rocks. So many thanks to my chef friend @andreldeluca for introducing me to this extraordinary cuisine. . . . #coconut #dessert #tropicalfruit #fish #arapaima #saopaulorestaurants #brazil #instafood #foodstagramSão Paulo is famous for its Japanese restaurants and having eaten at Kan I can understand why. The food especially the sea urchin temaki and soft warm smoky sea urchin nigiri I was too overexcited to snap were off the scale, the skill in fashioning them mesmerising. Thanks @andreldeluca for a very special treat. . . . #japanesefood #sushi #sashimi #nigiri #temaki #saopauloOne of the most iconic dishes of Brazilian cuisine is Moqueca, an aromatic seafood stew made with red dendé oil and coconut milk and served with rice and farofa (of course) for extra crunch plus an optional drizzle of chilli oil. This was the version at @jiquitaia at lunchtime today in São Paulo and very tasty it was too. . . . #moqueca #seafood #fishstew #brazilianfood #jiquitaia #saopaulofoodSome terrific Brazilian food at lunchtime @manimanioca today. Fish wrapped in banana leaf with a bean salad and delicious small sweet chillies, farofa and plantain purée, another great salad (Gorgonzola, apple and candied walnuts) and lascas de polvilho which are super delicious giant puffed up crackers made with manioc flour. And - big surprise - a glass of Brazilian orange wine from @era.dos.ventos made from trebbiano. . . . #fish #bananaleaf #farofa #salad #lascasdepolvilho #manioco #saopaolo #jardim #brazilianfood #brazilianwine #orangewine Follow on Instagram
