GRÃO FINO * ITAIM BIBI/SP
Grão Fino, a mix of "restaurant and bakery", is a true refuge for those seeking healthy, tasty food and those with dietary restrictions in the heart of the city of São Paulo.
It stands out for being one of the pioneering establishments in offering gluten-free and lactose-free products in the city, which makes it a paradise for celiacs, lactose intolerants and those following specific diets.
Located in Itaim Bibi, Grão Fino surprises with its charming and welcoming atmosphere. Although it is a bakery, it also operates as a café and small restaurant, with different spaces.
There is a counter with benches at the entrance, tables inside and a delightful winter garden in the back, which is pet-friendly. This space is ideal for work meetings, get-togethers with friends and to enjoy a quiet moment with your pet.
The great difference of the place is its elaborate and diverse menu, which proves that functional food can be incredibly tasty. Everything is prepared with fresh, preferably seasonal ingredients, and the restaurant values gluten-free, lactose-free and preservative-free recipes, with several vegan and low-carb options.
Products such as breads, jams, functional pastas, peanut butters, vegan cheeses and granolas can be found at the restaurant.
Grão Fino offers a complete gastronomic experience that pleases all palates, even with dietary restrictions. In fact, it is highly recommended for those seeking a healthy and conscious diet, without sacrificing flavor and variety.

I was there today and loved the menu, the number of options and the service! I went with my boyfriend who is celiac, I am not and even so it did not disappoint in any way, the pizza was well served and very tasty, the mini-churros were also very tasty.
I would like to highlight the great service of the attendant who works at the checkout and also when delivering the dishes, unfortunately I do not know her name, but we went in the evening and she was there.
The atmosphere is calm and clean, it is suitable for all types of groups from friends, couples and large families.
Success!
I looked for a pleasant environment and food free of gluten, lactose, etc. And I found everything. I had a shrimp risotto which was excellent and a wonderful chocolate cake. I loved the decoration and one or two details that aren't perfect (as a review here says) just give the place more personality. My friends, who ate without restrictions, were also satisfied.
The service is attentive, just needs a little more adjustment.
I will definitely be back.
The variety of options for those who don't eat meat and the signage on the menu is interesting. I ordered the one from the future with gluten-free bread and pineapple juice with lemongrass (divinoooo). I don't give it 5 stars because I've had tastier snacks for less money, but I thought it was a good experience, nice to be able to go with people who eat meat and everyone has options.
Terrible. It was a holiday, the store was very quiet, however, everything was bad, the fries arrived a little warm, the burgers were cold, tasteless, and we also had a problem with the gluten-free bread that must have been frozen and they didn't have the decency to heat it up properly. Oh, and by the way, they charged for everything and at 13%. Never again.
The food is very good, but I am gluten intolerant, I paid 7 reais more for the bread, only to get home and realize that they gave me the wrong bread. I felt very, very sick!
Terrible experience. I ordered the sandwich through Ifood, which contacted the store that confirmed the order. Two hours later I received the information that the store was CLOSED. Total disrespect to the customer. The life of a celiac is already difficult and those who claim to serve this segment still do this disservice. Regrettable.
