São Paulo's Great Value Two-Michelin-Starred Restaurant | Tuju

Had an amazing experience checking out this two-Michelin-starred restaurant with friends on Friday—total bang for your buck! 🌟 First Impressions: Luxury from the Start Kicked things off in the first-floor waiting area, sipping on cocktails and munching on amuse-bouches 🥂🍴 The vibe was chic but cozy, like a pre-show warm-up for the feast ahead. Dining in the Spotlight Upstairs in the main dining room (less than 10 tables—intimate AF!), chefs worked their magic right in front of us. The theme for the rainy season menu? Pure art. 🎨 Every dish was served simultaneously to our group—it felt like a state dinner! 👑 The Three-Floor Experience Level 1: Pre-dinner drinks + snacks (set the mood perfectly). Level 2: The main event—9 courses of unique, flavor-blowing dishes 🍴✨ Level 3: Post-meal chill zone with coffee and desserts ☕🍰 The Menu: A Rainy Season Fantasy Each dish was a wild ride of textures and tastes—think tropical fruits, herbs, and locally sourced ingredients transformed into edible poetry. Highlights? A smoked fish dish that smelled like a rainforest and a dessert with passionfruit sorbet that popped like lightning 🌩️ Price & Practical Tips Cost: 1,400 BRL per person (for 9 courses + that Michelin experience? Worth it). Booking: We reserved a month in advance—don’t sleep on this! 📅 Pro tip: Bring foodie friends who appreciate tiny masterpieces on plates 😜 If you’re in São Paulo and want to treat yourself, Tuju is a non-negotiable. Just remember: patience pays off (for the reservation), and stretchy pants are a must. 😉 #SaoPauloFineDining #MichelinStarred #FoodieBucketList
