Sarrasin
Sarrasin Restaurant
Sarrasin (Shopping Vila Olímpia – Rua Olimpíadas, 360 – Vila Olímpia, São Paulo) –– located in a one of São Paulo’s quieter districts, Sarrasin is considered to be the crown jewel of the city’s French-inspired restaurants. It takes its name from the main ingredient of its galettes, a type of crêpe made with buckwheat or sarrasin flour. From the main courses to the desserts, each galette offers an exciting combination of flavor: the Bergerac, for example, combines goat cheese with toasted almonds and honey; while the Sartre is filled with steamed shrimp, champignon sauce, apricots, ginger and curry.
Like every other dish, the desserts are also named after illustrious French personalities. One such delicacy is the crêpe à la Saint-Exupéry (deliciously filled with seasonal berries, whipped cream, homemade chocolate ice cream, almonds and caramelized cocoa).
