Customer Reviews
One of the best restaurants ever. Loved everything. Great mussels, bread and butter, the pork was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the dessert was just amazing. On top of that the venue was cozy and the waiters super friendly and efficient. Nice local and Latin American wines selection. Great coffee too. A must in Sao Paulo!
BY FAR, the best meal I had in Brazil during my 3 week trip this year. I went to a few Michelin-starred spots, and Charco outshined them all. Everything was absolutely delicious. We ordered ala carte and I'm glad we did because every single one of our server's recommendations was incredible. We started with the Cotecchino, the shrimp toast, and the heart of palm with caviar. All were absolutely delicious, but the shrimp toast stood out the most to me because I've never had anything like that in my life. Then we had the black pork loin and the grilled cut of the day, which was an ancho ribeye. Everything was cooked to perfection and the flavor of the grill was present and spectacular. The Ancho was not too fatty and was complimented well by its veggies. We then split both the milk and honey and the tahini ice cream dish for dessert. Both were complex, delicious, and not overwhelmingly sweet. I preferred the tahini ice cream dish, but I'm glad we also tried the milk and honey because of its complexity-- it was a cerebral experience. It was the perfect amount of food for two people, and it was truly an amazing culinary experience. Raul was a fantastic server, made great recommendations for both food and wine, and spoke perfect English which was an added benefit so we could better understand what we were eating. I will be back! Highly recommend!
Esperava mais pela crítica feita a este restaurante. Ótimo atendimento, porém achamos o pão e carne servidos salgados. Talvez tenha sido o molho chimichurri. O ambiente é pequeno e as cadeiras/mesas têm pouco conforto. Não tem uma boa relação custo/beneficio.
Comida excepcional e atendimento excelente. Definitivamente um dos melhores restaurantes onde já estive. Destaco os pratos de tomate e alface grelhada
