BR Carlota Wellington steak
đ„© Carlota: SĂŁo Pauloâs Hype-Worthy Wellington Thatâs All About the Pastry, Not the Beef Touted as SPâs best beef Wellington, Carlota serves up a showstopper thatâll make your Instagram happyâbut does the taste live up? đ Spoiler: The flaky pastry and mushroom duxelles steal the show, while the beef plays second fiddle. Hereâs the real talk on where to feast and where to skip. đ The Wellington: Pastry Perfection, Beef Meh Crispy Pastry + Umami Mushroom Paste: The star combo! đ„§ Flaky, buttery layers wrapped around earthy mushroom duxellesâbiting into it is like eating a biscuit-wrapped umami bomb. Pro tip: scrape every last bit of paste off the plate. Underwhelming Beef Inside: Tender? Not really. đ The filet mignon was cooked medium-rare but felt chewy, lacking the melt-in-your-mouth magic we craved. Blame it on overcooking or average quality? You decide. Shockingly Good Rice Side: Wait, what? đ The truffle-infused rice under the Wellington was nutty, creamy, and somehow more exciting than the beef. Who knew rice could steal a steakâs thunder? đ© Other Dishes: Hits and Misses Angus Steak Fiasco: Rare but not tender. đ„© Served bloody red, but the texture was toughâlike chewing on a sinewy workout band. Skip and stick to the Wellington (at least it has good pastry). Seafood Platter: Good Except for One Thing: Shrimp and mussels were fresh! đŠđŠȘ But the octopus? Rubber band-level tough. Chewing it felt like a jaw workoutâpass on the octo, order the shrimp instead. Crispy Grilled Onigiri: Saving grace! đ Toasted to crunchy perfection, filled with savory rice and seaweedâthink Japanese rice cake meets potato chip. Order two, thank us later. đ° Desserts: Sugar Bombs to Avoid All Desserts: Too Sweet, No Thanks: Tried the chocolate lava cake and crĂšme brĂ»lĂ©e. đ«đź Both tasted like they were made with a sugar bucketâone bite and our teeth hurt. Stick to coffee or skip sweets entirely. đĄ Should You Try the Wellington? Yes, if: Youâre a pastry fiend who loves flaky crusts You want an Instagram-worthy steak moment Youâre okay with rice being the best part of your meal No, if: You demand melt-in-your-mouth beef in every bite You hate paying premium for average protein Youâre allergic to carbs (but why would you be here?) đ Final Bite Carlotaâs Wellington is a study in contrast: incredible pastry, meh beef, and a side of rice thatâll make you question life. Go for the experience, take the pics, enjoy the riceâand maybe order extra onigiri to forget the beef. đâš #SaoPauloSteakhouse #WellingtonReview #PastryOverBeef #BrazilianFoodie #SteakhouseHitsAndMisses
