D.O.M.
DOM Restaurant
D.O.M. (549 Rua Barão de Capanema, Jardins, São Paulo) – since São Paulo is Brazil’s answer to New York, it’s no surprise that this metropolis would have its own version of the Four Seasons restaurant in Manhattan for the VIP set. D.O.M. has been ranked sixth in S. Pellegrino’s list of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants. Owner Alex Atala is in equal parts chef, historian and botanist, and thanks to his knowledge he was able to bring back some of the most traditional flavors of Brazilian cuisine, while reinventing and adapting them to contemporary needs and tastes.
Every detail of this restaurant is meticulously planned (from the elegant and cozy décor to the friendly and attentive service and, of course, the excellent food). The best way to experience the full spectrum of D.O.M.’s gastronomy is the tasting menu, a selection of four or eight of Chef Atala’s best creations.
