4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2013 NEW

we order different types of entrees, everyone of them, carefully handcrafted, its a very romantic place, but if you are hungry this is not the place. Tuna grilled is superb!! also the costella. The asorted ice creams is a must. Wine for 100usd a bottle

We went to Mani with a group of 8 of us - Many speak to how expensive the restaurants are in Sao Paulo - and although I wouldn't say this was inexpensive- it was a fair value for the quality of food and experience. The entire table committed to their tasting menu. The dishes that stood out were the simple... More

Had an excellent dinner here at Mani, one of my best meals in São Paulo having been here now for 2 and a half months. Great service, nice atmosphere and a pretty decent price all things considered. I had the lightly seared tuna with blackberry chutney and quinoa - delicious! Chocolate flan for dessert was nice, not stunning, but the... More

Forget about DOM, this is the true contemporary Brazilian food experience. The environment is casual chic, lots of young people and reasonably priced. No surprise there is always to wait at the door before finding a table. Worth the wait!

The last time I went to this restaurant, I actively disliked both starter and main course (to the point of not finishing my main course). In my view, the ingredients just didn't work together and the end result was somewhat sickly. If I ordered badly, I apologise for the lackluster review (though, in my opinion, you should not be able... More

Sophisticated and expensive but worth the visit. This place matches to any one of the best in anywhere in the world. Hard to get tables for dinners. There are usually long lines before the opening hours.

So Mani is ranked #48 on the worlds best restaurants...haven't really tried the others but this resstaurant is something that focusses in flavour and quality - and it gets them right ! The simplistic yet charming decor makes you feel comfortable immediately and the starters (couvert) is a definte and resounding "Yes !!" The food is beuatifully presented and is... More

Amazing dinner at this casual, creative culinary wonderland. The food was inventive and spectacular. There are not enough superlatives for this restaurant. If you are in Sao Paulo, you simply MUST eat here!

This is one of those restaurants that make you think you have previously been too generous with the 5 point of trip advisor... It's a never ending surprise, with unusual flavours and combination of savoury and sweet / fruity with many typical Brazilian produces I had never had before. The amuses-bouche were delicate and tasteful at the same time and... More
