Capim Santo

Top choice in São Paulo


Top chef Morena Leite turns out excellent regional Brazilian fare, with an emphasis on local and organic ingredients, served in a relaxed, beautifully Brazilian indoor-outdoor space. The excellent weekday buffet is the affordable way into this higher-end spot.
