Manioca da Mata

This restaurant in Itaim Bibi is another venture by renowned chef Helena Rizzo, and is run on a day-to-day basis by chef Fernanda Fernandes. Here, the cuisine follows that of the original Mani but with a different aesthetic in this small and charming bistro-style eatery. The idea behind the group's new dining options (the other is in the JK Iguatemi shopping mall) is to replicate Manioca's casual, informal and relaxed cuisine, but with some different dishes that are exclusive to this restaurant. On the menu you’ll find a choice of snacks, pasta dishes, a selection of gourmet burgers, plus more elaborate options, including fish cooked in banana leaves and accompanied by banana purée and a blackeye pea vinaigrette.
