Manai Gastronomia | Augusta — Restaurant in Região Imediata de São Paulo

summary if you like desserts & ice cream and can eat that then Manai @79.90 in January 2023 is an excellent choice. For that price you can get as many drinks, food, deserts and coffee as you want.

Really great staff there: very friendly, attentive and professional. I paid 79.90 Reais for the all you can eat and drink (non alcoholic beverages).

The food was good but nothing extraordinary. The choice was rather large but not overwhelming. What I liked best was the ceviche (salmon & white fish).

The drinks are served at the table and yes you can have as many as you want. I had 2 regular cans of soft drinks with no sugar (Coke Zero and Guarana) served but they also had juices and even coconuts from what I could see on other tables.

I had a coffee (Nespresso) with the desserts and it was also included.

The choice of desserts (included too) was fine though I expected more. The quality was good and if you like and tolerate sweets then the all you can eat option @79.90 is the way to go. Besides there was the ice cream from Häagen-Dazs with 5 flavors in big "containers" where you help yourself.

If desserts are not an option for you then there are other and possibly better options (incl. all you can eat) in Sao Paulo which are less expensive with even more food choice ("Nas Panelas Restaurante e casa de lanches", close to the Belém subway station, being one of them in...

The place doesn’t have cozy or eye-catching decor, but that’s not a deal-breaker for me when trying a restaurant. The buffet is very good, I didn’t try everything, but everything looked great and what I did eat was delicious. The small pears in red syrup were the best part of the buffet, I had them with the main dishes and also with dessert, I would go back just to eat those. Only the kale and corn were extremely salty, I couldn’t eat them. Does the chef taste the food? Another issue was the bathroom, it was a disgrace and I told the manager. There were a lot of people, so someone should be checking the bathrooms regularly. When the bathrooms are in that state, it makes me worry about...
