Brazilian insect cuisine D.O.M. Restaurant🐜

🐜 D.O.M. Restaurante: Brazil’s Insect-Friendly Fine Dining (Where Ants Are on the Menu) For 25 years, this SĂŁo Paulo legend has reigned as South America’s top restaurant (courtesy of The Acqua Panna) and a regular on the World 50 Best list. But let’s be real: it’s "pretty food" with a side of Amazonian adventure—think ant snacks and palm heart salads that’ll test your culinary bravery. 🌟 The Menu: A Walk on the Wild (Insect) Side Amazonian Ingredients 101 Priprioca Root: Earthy tuber served in creamy soups, tastes like a nutty potato. đŸŒ± Palm Heart Salad: Tender core of palm trees, crisp like celery but with a tropical twist. đŸ„— Ants, Yes Ants: Giant black ants (formigas culonas) fried till crispy—taste like
 well, imagine nutty bacon with a sour aftertaste. 🐜 My friend loved ’em; I needed a shot of cachaça to wash ’em down. Vegan Set Menu Fully plant-based, with creative dishes like açai berry ceviche and jambu leaf sorbet. 🍹 Warning: Carb lovers beware—you’ll leave full of veggies, not rice. ❌ The Honest Take: Style Over Substance? Pretty Plates, Mixed Flavors Every dish looks like art (hello, edible flowers and foam!), but some flavors missed the mark. 🎹 The tucupi (yellow pepper sauce) was too tangy, and the ant dish? Let’s just say I prefer my protein without legs. Atmosphere > Fullness Sleek, jungle-inspired decor makes you feel like you’re dining in a fancy rainforest. 🌿 Perfect for pics, but if you’re here to stuff your face, hit up a churrascaria instead. 💡 Who Should Brave This Place? Go If You’re: A food adventurer who wants to say "I ate ants in Brazil" 📾 Vegan and tired of basic salads Celebrating a milestone (birthday, divorce, etc.) Skip If You’re: A picky eater (obviously) Craving comfort food (no burgers here) Hungry-hungry hippo levels of famished 📍 Deets & Don’ts Address: R. BarĂŁo de Capanema, 549, SĂŁo Paulo Price: R$600–1,200/person (set menus), ouch but expected for fine dining Pro Tip: Ask the waiter to explain each ingredient—they’ll geek out over Amazonian flora and fauna. #BrazilianCuisine #InsectCulinary #FineDiningAdventures
