Manioca

A very good place if you are looking for modern Brazilian cuisine. We went there for lunch, I've ordered the polvilho as entrees, this is a must try if you go there. It is warm, crunchy, and delicious. We also had the tuna tartar mayo, which was ok. Nothing special. For mains, we had the steak with Serrano ham sauce and manioc. The beef was perfect. Be aware that the medium rare in Brazil is considered rare in some countries. My wife had the pork with pamonha and fennel salad. The pamonha, I'm not kidding, was one of the best I had in my life. Pamonha is a very traditional brazilian dish from the central region. We had espresso to finish, the coffee was very well executed with a partnership of a coffee shop inside the shopping. They have decent wine list.

They were out of many items on the menu. Our server seemed distracted. Had been there before and last time it was better in all senses. Seems they have gotten too popular and compromised on quality. Expensive for what it is.

O restaurante fica dentro de uma loja no shopping Iguatemi. A recepção foi correta e o estilo é casual. Pedimos bolinhos de tapioca com carne-seca e requeijão, que acompanha geleia de pimenta. Estava gostoso, mas nada absurdo. Serviria em uma festa de criança. Pedi um tartar de atum com tabule de quinoa, rúcula e caramelo de cebola. Linda apresentação. Estava uma delícia. Meu marido pediu um ravióli de alcachofra com tomatinhos, manjericão, pangrattato e ricota fresca. Estava saboroso também, mas nada demais.

Local bem decorado para shopping, serviço muito destreinado, cardápio ok comparado com o original Mani, experiência mediana
