Drinking wine in Sao Paulo is not easy. Prices are always expensive and options are limited to latin american vineyards. Varanda was able to differentiate himself from the many bbq restaurant by offering an amazing wine list, including most of the best european, american and australian wine label offered at the most reasonable price possible. Big differential!

I've always been keen of places in Brazil that excel in a la carte meat, rather than buffet service. This place offers fine steaks and even kobe beef for those with that kind of pocket. The atmosphere is ideal for large group meetings (we were a group of 12). The only point for improvement is the cook of the steaks,... More

Very classy environment and the meat was perfect. I spent around 130R$ for a complete dinner. I'll go back there for sure.

This is a great place for a steak in São Paulo, among the best in town. Steaks are grilled to perfection at the exact point ordered by the customer. Wine list is extensive and from the bar you can order the famous Brazilian drink - caipirinha - prepared in the best way possible. On Saturdays you can try the traditional... More

The meat cuts are excellent - I suggest the asado gaucho (good for 2 or 3 people - they bring several slices at a time while the meat is kept on the grill) or the bife de chorizo. It serves the best meat in Sao Paulo in my opinion, with consistency, with good side dishes (several good options) and desserts.... More

Just the best steak in the world! If you rather eat huge amounts of different kinds of meat, that's not the place (try Fogo de Chão or Jardineira Grill, all you can eat style). But if the aim is to try the most flavourful and tender steak in the world, it's a brainless choice!

This is THE best meat restaurant I have been in Sao Paulo. Everything is excellent, food is great but be aware of portions. The sommelier was the best one voted in Veja magazine, and he is great, great wines. And last but not least, everyone is very attentive giving a great service.

A bit of a disclaimer... I am not a meat lover but I would eat the steak from Varanda. The first time I visited the restaurant, I ordered seafood which was kinda silly on hindsight. My husband let me have a piece of his picanhna and it was the best piece of meat I have had in Brazil. If I... More
