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 loved having gluten-free pizza options that can be baked in a separate oven from the others, which is already incredible. Then I look at the menu and everything is clearly explained, even the gluten-free desserts. I loved it!
Oh, and for those who are vegan, everything is clearly explained on the menu too!
They advertise everywhere as GLUTEN FREE, but in reality they only use wheat flour. A restaurant of this size and price cannot use this advertising if there is a risk of cross-contamination with gluten! It is too expensive and hyped to have no guarantee of contamination safety. I am sure that the nutrition team will understand this criticism very well and how essential it is for the marketing team to be in tune with this since this also concerns safety. IT IS NOT CASA RAW VEGAN GLUTEN FREE. IT IS CASA RAW VEGAN WITHOUT WHEAT FLOUR. Gluten is a molecule and it is completely nonsensical to advertise it this way and not be. It would be like writing "no shrimp" and having "only the risk of a shrimp broth". People with allergies and celiac disease RUN AWAY. Anyway... it is nonsensical that this is part of the main advertising.
I was so excited to try gluten-free pizza! I came from São Paulo and when we arrived, the place DID NOT EXIST!!! We looked for the address, tried to call and NOBODY ANSWERED. The place no longer exists and has been replaced by an ice cream shop. Please be considerate of the customer and update your Google profile so that everyone knows that the establishment IS CLOSED.
For anyone interested in gluten-free pizza, I recommend Pizzaria Bonelli (it's only 5 minutes away from the supposed location, which does not exist)
Dishes with quality ingredients and both the delivery and the restaurant have great service. They are ethical and kind. I always order the pizza with gluten-free dough.
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.
BRÁZ never disappoints. Friendly staff, charming atmosphere, excellent pizzas. They even have a gluten-free option. Although the dough on these gluten-free options is a bit harder. The price to pay so that celiacs can continue to eat pizza. I recommend it.
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!
Very beautiful and comfortable atmosphere, very careful service, well presented dishes made with great quality and flavor. I am celiac and was very well taken care of with my gluten restriction. I recommend!
It's just another suggestion, which would perhaps help the marketing team a lot with planning for the month.
The restaurant is great, but it is not inclusive for those who have problems with gluten and lactose. Honestly, gluten-free pasta is bad.
Honestly, nowadays what's hot is health and well-being, everyone I know is aware that they have X, Y and Z problems. When someone who is intolerant to something finds a good restaurant that has food for them, they practically Just go to that restaurant and spend whatever you want on it, because a good restaurant for celiacs, especially Italian, is a rare find. They are losing a lot of sales by not including specific dishes for this type of "problem". Adjusting to the times is the future, it's no wonder that Casas Bahia changed its character.

A Japanese restaurant suitable for celiacs. But most importantly: it's really tasty!
It offers variety, flavor and a fair price. I loved it!
The chef, Pedro, is very kind and approachable.
