Meet Clàudia

I'm the owner and executive chef here. I've been cooking for almost 20 years, and I love the simplicity of Brazilian food and the complexity of our traditional dishes.

​

Eighteen of those years have been in Australia, so alongside my Brazilian comfort food you'll often find a flair for Middle Eastern and Mediterranean on the menu. With a degree in nutrition, I make dishes healthier wherever I can, without losing any flavour.

​

Tell me a Brazilian dish you'd love to see and there's a good chance I'll put it on. My aim is simple: delicious Brazilian food and a friendly place to enjoy it.

What is Brazilian food, after all?

It's warm, generous and made to share. Think feijoada, our hearty slow cooked pork black-bean stew, perfect for a grey Melbourne day. Or picanha, the prized cut of beef that Taste Atlas once voted the second-best dish in the world.

​

And there's plenty for everyone, with vegan and gluten-free-friendly options right through the menu. Come hungry, come curious. We'll take care of the rest.
