A table by the João de Tiba River at Luz de Minas

Since 2018 · On the João de Tiba River

From Minas to Bahia.

From our kitchen to your memories.

Our kitchen

A kitchen of flavours and memories

Where the roots of Minas Gerais meet the flavours of Bahia, a touch of Mediterranean cooking and the beauty of Brazil's Discovery Coast. Small plates, signature dishes and recipes made by hand from carefully chosen ingredients.

On the banks of the João de Tiba River in Santo André, we offer a complete experience — where good food, nature and hospitality come together.
