🇧🇷 Amazing restaurant | Chez Claude Sao Paulo

🍴 Chez Claude São Paulo: São Paulo’s Hidden Gem Where Every Dish is a Creative Masterpiece Got rejected when booking? Show up anyway—this French bistro made me wait in line, then blew my mind with 5-hour braised ribs and goat cheese risotto. 🔥 From fish with toasted bread to tuna-watermelon salad, the short menu is a "magic show for your taste buds"—even the sides are flexing hard. Here’s why it’s worth every minute of queuing: 🌟 Mind-Blowing Dishes That’ll Make You Go "Wow" Seared Fish with Toasted Bread Trio: 🐟 Crispy exterior and melt-in-your-mouth fish sit on caramelized toast, hiding pillowy dumplings + roasted eggplant beneath a honey-basil glaze. Sweet-savory flavors tango on your tongue—even the eggplant side had me scraping the plate clean. Intimidating Yet Tender Ribeye Steak: 🥩 Arrived blush-pink, scaring this "well-done only" eater. One bite changed everything: bouncy texture like chewing juice gummies, meaty aroma so rich I licked my fingers. Paired with cheesy mashed potatoes? Carb heaven. Squid Crisps × Goat Cheese Risotto: 🦑 Crunchy crisps top tender squid, but the real star is below: risotto with explosive creaminess from goat cheese. Even friends who "hate cheese" stole half my portion. Tuna Watermelon Salad (Don’t Judge the Name): 🍉+🐟 Sounds like a dare, tastes like a palate cleanser! Tangy watermelon meets delicate tuna, kicked up by mustard that’s bold but not harsh. Sent a pic to my mom like, "See, it’s not weird!" 📝 The Details That Make It Special Queue in Style: Wait at the chic bar with craft cocktails—we sipped a rosé they gifted for their anniversary (score!). Small Plates, Big Flavors: Portions are "Instagram-sized," but every bite counts. Even sides like 5-hour braised ribs (slightly salty, but melt-off-the-bone tender) and cheesy mashed potatoes stole the show. Surprise Hits: "Noodle" shrimp risotto: Menu said noodles, but rice beneath was nutty perfection. Baked egg with caviar: Caviar was salty, but cheesy egg was so good I forgot the salt. Seasoned oysters: Freshness on point, brininess balanced by clever seasoning. 💡 Pro Tips for First-Timers Reservation is King: Call ahead—we waited 45 minutes, but the bar made it bearable. Order Strategy: Get the fish, ribeye, and risotto stat. Share plates to try more—trust me, FOMO is real here. Vibe Check: Cozy lighting, wooden tables, and staff who explain every dish like it’s their baby. Perfect for dates or foodie friend groups. 🌟 Final Verdict Chez Claude isn’t just good—it’s "text-your-friends mid-meal" good. Go if: You crave creative dishes that taste as good as they sound You believe sides should be as epic as mains You’re willing to queue for food that feels like a gift to your taste buds Just remember: Come hungry, order the ribeye, and prepare to write your own "I waited, and it was worth it" story. 🥂✨ #SaoPauloFineDining #FrenchCuisineSP #CreativeFoodie #HiddenGemRestaurants #WorthTheWait
