Three Stars: Exceptional cuisine
A truly unique experience? Here, just a stone's throw from the Museu da Casa Brasileira (MCB), something truly extraordinary awaits — Tuju occupies an elegant three-storey building devoted entirely to culinary pleasure. The main entrance is on the ground floor, where the experience begins with small canapés and where the wine cellar and an interior garden are also to be found; the second floor houses the dining room, arranged around a large open kitchen surrounded by tables, whilst the third floor is home to a sweeping bar with panoramic views. Chef Ivan Ralston, ably supported by a large brigade — the majority of whom are women — approaches gastronomy in its deepest sense. He draws on his expertise to marry seasonal Brazilian produce and flavours, particularly from São Paulo, with the most contemporary techniques, placing creativity and rigorous research at the very heart of his cooking. Each season, with its defining climatic character — humidity, rain, wind, and drought — shapes an entirely new tasting menu!

"In addition to recycling, reusing rainwater and composting, we also use seasonal ingredients from small-scale producers, mostly in the state of São Paulo. We also have our own research centre that seeks out suppliers who work fairly, ethically and sustainably."
