Fusion restaurants in The Southeast

  1. A

    Santa Gula

    This remarkable restaurant, hidden at the end of a leafy court, serves up creative Brazilian-fusion dishes like shrimp with apricots and cashew-encrusted salmon. It doubles as a showcase of homegrown crafts - and you can literally take home the table you ate on.

    Figueira Rubaiyat

    Sprawling and luxurious like the ancient fig that graces its outdoor terrace, this top-of-the-line grill-restaurant serves up perhaps Sampa's best meat, plus other delicacies from fresh oysters to foie gras with figs.

    D.O.M.

    Foie gras with a crust of wild rice? Gnocchi with oxtail sauce? Duck breast with banana? This small and deceptively casual Italo-French restaurant serves up some of the finest food in Sampa, which is saying a lot.

    Mestiço

    Both the creative menu and the colorful-yet-chic design are a delightful combination of Brazilian and Asian influences, from Bahian fritters to Thai curries. Mestiço attracts an upscale, artsy crowd.

    At this candlelit restaurant with only eight tables, the globetrotting German chef and his Japanese wife have created a delightful fusion of Brazilian, Asian and European flavors.
