The salad buffet here is outstanding with high quality ingredients and excellent selection. Hand-crafted pizzas and fresh pastas accompany your salad and service is brisk though not overly attentive. The room is modern, airy, and warm. Great stop for lunch pre or post VIVO meeting as you can walk right next door and park in their lot.

We were at the Rio Sul branch, the outside tables are very pleasant. Great buffet, large choice of salads, fish, ham, eggs, salmon carpaccio and several hot plates (meat, pasta, vegetarian choices, free gluten or integral pasta).You can try the pizzas, also good. And the most important: they have Nespresso!!!

Great place and food but the drinks were extremely overpriced! Almost R$19,00 for a caipirinha, too much!
