Varanda Grill

São Paulo | Brazil

One of the top 30 restaurants to do business in Latin America

Why choose it: Located near the main hub bringing together executives in São Paulo, this restaurant, founded in 1996, is aimed at those seeking to savor cuts from the three major barbecue schools in the world (Argentina, Brazil and the US). It is so successful among executives that it opened a branch in JK Iguatemi, an upscale shopping center, which is next to the complex of four office towers, headquarters of the Santander Brasil bank, and multinational Johnson & Johnson.

Business tips: while discussing the terms of a contract, executives can taste dishes prepared with succulent meats, including lamb, as well as poultry, fish and seafood. The menu includes delicacies prepared with wagyu beef, of Japanese origin. The wine list is also often recommended by haute cuisine critics. The travel website Tripadvisor has included Varanda Grill among the 200 best steakhouses in São Paulo.

Average cost per person (without beverages) R$ 400 (USD 80).

Address: Rua General Mena Barreto, 793, Jardim Paulista, São Paulo - SP.
