In the São Paulo city of Brazil, there are three prestigious rated restaurants with 2 Michelin Stars: Evvai, DOM, and Tuju. Since this is my second time visiting this city, we decided to knock out the third one this time around. In the Michelin Guide, they classify the flavors of this restaurant as creative, so the expectations are high that it will use plenty of Brazilian ingredients to bring a very local upscale finesse to the food. Tuju is led by chef Ivan Ralson, who steers this restaurant’s 10-course menu based on the seasons, trying to use the freshest ingredients available.

This is our first trip together to Brazil and São Paulo together. I’ve met many Brazilians at work, but I did not have any idea what to really expect out of the gourmand food scene. Unlike New York City, many of these Michelin Star restaurants were easier to get into. My partner chose this recently rewarded Michelin 2 star restaurant, Evvai, because it was known for showcasing Brazilian ingredients in a refine way.
