We perform checks on reviews.
Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The restaurant is wonderful, from the location with its beautiful vegetable garden, to the food and service (Beatriz served us and deserves all our praise) super friendly, fast and attentive. Beatriz you are amazing!! Lucky for whoever is served by you!!
The dishes cost around R$200.00 and are well served (for 2 people), there is a kids menu around R$35.00.
The petit gateau is delicious, don't forget to try it, by the way it was my son's birthday and it was courtesy of the house!!
They also accept pets, who are very well looked after, they even provide beds and water for them!
they have a space for children with toys inside the greenhouse and another space outside for the little ones with; trampoline, house with slide, tunnel, etc…
The ground space is beautiful (they are in the same environment, next to each other) there is a lake, ducks, sunflowers, lavender… the experience is excellent, well worth the trip! Rating 1000!!

The environment is very pleasant and there is a lot of contact with nature, a quiet environment, no noise, and especially away from the “muvuca” of capivari.
We ordered the trunk of cookies (spinach, rice, java “algumacoisa” and pineapple) the best was Javablabla. 4 cookies that served very well as an entry. This dish is R$28
From the main dish we ordered the medalion with mushroom sauce that already accompanies rice, beans, pinhones, salad and vegetables in the fire. All very tasty!! This dish is R$225 and serves well for two people.
We also ordered two juices, one Green Juice and another Carrot. Good too!
Total account value: R$ 331,00 with entry, drink and main dish. Two people.

This restaurant, although it stays a little away from the city, is well worth it. The food is spectacular, with different flavors that make the visit a true gastronomic experience. Also, something that caught me a lot of attention was the canodapi (yes, a menu for dogs!). If you have pets, this is the perfect place to take.
The service was excellent, especially from Caio, who was super attentive and friendly all the time. Definitely a place to go back. I highly recommend!

We visited the restaurant for a family lunch. At first, the place is very beautiful but it fails in several aspects.
Being in a greenhouse, the place is extremely hot and the service is poor as the waiters are not well educated and stop serving you in the middle of your request to serve other people.
Talking about the dishes, they are extremely expensive and the prices are not justified by what is presented. We ate a Filet Mingon with mushroom sauce which was served to us with just 4 5 cm steaks for the cost of 210 reais. A detail, the roasted vegetables that accompanied the dish only arrived after everyone at the table had finished their meals.
In addition to this, we ordered termite which was served to us with 4 SLICES, read as a slice like a ham you buy in any bakery, and cassava for 190 reais... that is 190 reais for 1 kg of cassava.
When we asked for the bill, the waiter started charging the bill for our table and interrupted the bill to start charging another table, telling us to wait so that as soon as the other table finished, he would come back to finish our bill.
In addition to all this, ordering drinks took a long time and we felt like there was no ice.
After all this, we were surprised with a 15% service charge.

We were at lunch on 02/12/24. Reservation made for 2 people. We arrived and ordered starters and drinks. When the starter arrived we ordered the main dish, ancho steak for 2 people. After waiting 1 hour, as we understood it was full, we called the waiter to find out how much time was left, at that point we were informed that the kitchen had not received our order and that it would take another 30/40 minutes. As we weren't going to leave without lunch, we decided to wait. Then they brought us the dish. Cold food, no care, everything left on the plate, terrible meat, cold plate, side dishes without any quality. In short, we didn't have lunch, we paid and left. We understood that it was not worth calling someone in charge at that time, as there were so many apologies from all the tables, in the name of Dona Chica, we apologized for what happened, a rain of lamentations from the waiters and waitresses, to justify the poor delivery and the confusion in the orders. There was a lack of a service leader and a team that had maturity and commitment to customers. An establishment that proposes to open to the public and charge for it cannot make excuses.

Olá Claúdia,
Agradeço pela sinalização, assim que lemos sua avaliação fizemos os ajustes com a equipe, no dia da sua visita tivemos um número de clientes acima do esperado e nos desorganizamos por um período, uma pena que não pude corrigir a falha com a sua família enquanto ainda estava aqui. Não quero te pedir mais uma desculpa, somente deixar registrado que gostaria de ter a oportunidade de atender a sua família e oferecer o bom atendimento e a refeição saborosa já aprovados por vários clientes por aqui.

We bought tickets well in advance for the June party of the 29/06 - last day.
We had seen a lot of advertising, photos and videos of the same event in previous weeks.
We had a good expectation.
Unfortunately it was far below what we expected.
I believe they sold more tickets than the ideal, because there was no accommodation (table and chair) for everyone.
The space where the junina party was held was very small and everything was stacked in the same space.
To get to the collection points, we had to divert all the time from the many participants.
Regarding the food and beverage options, the quality was also not good.
The salts, except for the jam cake, were very bad.
The spouts of sausage and meat were reasonable, the hot and hot wine was also reasonable.
The space x the number of people were so disproportionate that at the time the gang danced, there was no room for all participants.
Another point, very negative is the location. Very bad to get and park.
We will not return to this, not even to remove the doubt.

The location is amazing! It is all thought to make you feel in the "roza" and with the comfort and cleanliness of the restaurant that is already renowned in Campos do Jordão!
The dishes fully thought in regional cuisine with elaboration and gourmet presentation! We opted for the pout pourri with house cake and garden fish and the main dish was the Iron Flat. Suggestion and welcome from waitress Kaio who also presented us an authoritarian ice tea from the house with lemons, basil and activated charcoal syrup, agree that unusual, but we 3 liked it a lot!
We arrived later and were very well received regardless of the time. The Kaio posture is excellent, discreet and helpful. He left us free all the time and helped us with everything we needed.
It was really a happy surprise this Wednesday afternoon!!!

Sensational restaurant, with an innovative proposal that provides a different experience. Some foods come straight from the garden and you can feel their freshness. The vegetable garden is there for anyone who wants to enjoy. They included panc peixinho on the menu and as a nutritionist I thought it was sensational. Natural soft drinks, konbucha and many other offers, they even have a pet menu. As soon as you arrive with your pet, someone will soon offer him a bed and a pot of water, pure delicacy! The employees are super well trained, polite and there is always a beautiful humility in all of them, which makes the environment even more pleasant. We tried a fantastic pepper sauce and the cook came to the table to explain how it is prepared, a unique cordiality. To conclude this review, I can't help but give a huge compliment to Giovanna, who is the site manager, who welcomed us and welcomed us in a unique way. The owner Rose, an asset and when we met her we were able to understand the success of the place, she is pure friendliness and humility, she actively participates in everything. I highly recommend you have this experience. It is worth mentioning that we visited the unit on Rua Elidio Gonçalves da Silva. 800.

Very good environment, breathe fresh air.
Very tasty food, varied menu, price consistent with food prepared by chefs, but it's not cheap, nor could it be, it took a long time to arrive.
In my opinion, they shouldn't charge people who are going to have lunch to enter, or pay for the lunch bill.
We will be back.

Fico feliz em saber que foi uma agradável surpresa para você! Parece que o ambiente e a comida atenderam às suas expectativas, apesar da espera um pouco longa. Sua sugestão interessante sobre a cobrança de entrada é válida, acredito que tenha visitado nossa unidade no Horto Florestal de Campos do Jordão onde a cobrança da entrada garante a entrada no parque..
É bom saber que, mesmo com esses pontos a melhorar, você planeja retornar.
Agradecemos por compartilhar sua experiência e esperamos recebê-lo novamente em breve!

Firstly, the place is far away and the road has so many curves that you end up getting sick, the place is beautiful, greenhouse, heat, children running around and that's it!
The food is worthy of amateurs, we ordered some assorted starters (terrible!), for the main course we ordered the termite (recommended by the attendant), as it won a prize (I don't know what), cold meat, tough, very tough and a puree that tasted just right. Because of the bad meat, I ended up ordering a kids dish so I wouldn't leave without lunch!
Waste of time and money! 0 attractions, 0 good food...look, I don't believe the reviews based on our experience.
I swear, I have a house in Campos and it was by far the worst meal we’ve ever had…
The service is as expected for a restaurant and that's it!!!

An excellent experience, we came with our children and the restaurant meets in every aspect.
The place is very spacious with a garden that harvests the meals on time, a lake, animals and a park for the children.
The delicious food with regional cuisine and the well served portions, the dishes for 2 people eat from 3 to 4 people. We ordered dessert with holy grass brigadeiro with cumaru ice cream, surreal...!!
The service was excellent, highlight for Caio, who was quite polite and gave us good indications.
The price within the expected to be a tourist city, the lunch with entry and dessert was on average R$ 300.00.
Congratulations to the restaurant, we will be back other times!!

Delicious place, off the tourist route of the city, and that is worth every second of the route. Cozy environment, service note 1000 (Bia was super attentive with us) and it is noted that the food is prepared with a lot of affection and capricho. Even the cloth wardrobes are stinky.
We ordered the cupim baked with pineapple, which was clearly marinated in the wine so tasty it was. The place is pet friendly and your pet is treated as king. I loved the restaurant store, with homemade spices, sweets, souvenirs and personal care products.
I recommend closed eyes.

Even though we were staying in Santo Antônio do Pinhal, due to the great recommendations we decided to visit the place. In fact, he showed us another Campos do Jordão. Cheerful, relaxed, laid-back, without that Capivari pride where you pay a lot but get little. The restaurant's facilities are very spacious, and despite having to wait in line, we waited comfortably (and already drinking) on a sofa. The menu is wonderful, from the portions, to the main course, to the desserts. The service is good, I noticed that the employees make an effort to provide good service. Good range of types of beer (but it was a bit lacking in terms of beer temperature, check this out) and drinks. Note the fresh, quality ingredients used, including several that can be purchased at the grocery store attached to the restaurant, such as vegetables, cold cuts and cheeses. Prices are typical for Campos, but valid. There is also a playground/kids space and trail on site. It's really worth knowing, I recommend it.

Great spot for lunch on the weekend!
We are Jordanians, traders, curious people and hunters of good food, and we love the experience!
The place is beautiful, with lots of plants and foliage, the playlist that played matched the place!
Starting with Ana Júlia's attentive service, who, despite the busyness of the day, managed to serve us with mastery.
Tip: try the pine nut mince!!!!!
For starters, we ordered the Pout Pourri, which is a mix of regional dumplings, and my favorite is the fish from the garden with caramelized onion sauce.
Although the employees are young, we noticed that they are very professional, polite and dedicated, we didn't see any side conversations, inattention or jokes in the service, in both restaurants, the service is 10!
The highlight of the visit was the conversation with the girl at the emporium, a sweetheart who is super sensitive to what she sells and who exudes good energy!
We will definitely be back! ❤️
