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.

Excellent option for those who are lactose and gluten intolerant. We ordered a chocolate cake with strawberries, and in addition to the beautiful decoration, the flavor was excellent!
The service was super attentive and willing to help with delivery times, flavors and available options.
I highly recommend it, the cake was a big hit with the guests!
I'm celiac and since I discovered Pra Além de Bom, I've been happier.
I love the tarts, the strawberry, apple and pear ones are my favorites, I order them every week.
I recently tried the lemon cake, it's perfect, soft, and moistens Dinho just right, perfect!!!!
I loved that they're selling slices so we can try the flavors of the cakes before ordering the whole one.
The honey and spice cake is also perfect. I didn't like the topping of the carrot cake very much, but the dough itself is delicious too.
I highly recommend it, quality ingredients, tasty food and best of all, it's safe for celiacs.
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.
Guys
My Friday ritual is to order my gluten-free pizza. This place is AMAZING! Everything is perfect: dough, filling, crust. I highly recommend the chicken and catupiry cheese pizza and the buffalo margherita! WITH CHICKPEA CRUST and catupiry crust. CRAZY
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!
Wonderful pizza! For celiacs and non-celiacs. Tasty, good amount of dough. It's not “cheap”, but everything gluten-free is like that... Worth the price!
Very tasty food, good service and atmosphere. The best gluten-free restaurant I've been to in POA. And without researching the gluten issue, those who go there won't even notice that it's gluten-free.
I went to the burger joint without knowing it was gluten-free. I was really surprised because the flavor is better than most other burger joints. It really lives up to the good rating.
Fada dos Bolos is a small and friendly bakery. All products are gluten-free and safe for celiacs. There is both an indoor and outdoor space to eat there. The cakes are very tasty and the service is always good! I recommend it.
This is so annoying. I bought gluten-free bread made on 05/14. I put it in the freezer. On 05/26 it was already all moldy. What a disappointment. When frozen, the label says it lasts 3 months.
One of the best cafés in São Paulo.
mainly because its sweet and savory options are gluten-free, lactose-free, sugar-free and very tasty.
It's worth a try!
Very good pizza. I have celiac disease and I approve of the quality and flavor. I usually order a lot from Vila Madalena and I get very good service. I have been receiving bad service from the Vila Clementino branch, where I have been a customer since 2018. In addition to delivering the wrong pizza, they exchanged it (I returned the pizza) and the correct one came very poorly made, without any care and with little toppings. There was no apology and they do not respond to WhatsApp messages either.

The place is not gluten-free. The gluten-free options are not for celiacs. The information is wrong and makes anyone looking for something for celiacs waste time and money.
Excellent restaurant for those with allergies or gluten sensitivity! The girls at the counter and cashier are super attentive, and the place is beautiful and pleasant. I just think they shouldn't forget the guava biscuit, which is wonderful and always runs out quickly.
Too high price for the food and service offered.
Food/taste: not bad, but they still need to improve the consistency of the cakes a bit so they don't get crumbly. Overall, it's OK, but nothing surprising.
Staff/service: the staff is lovely and tries very hard to provide good service, but they haven't tried practically anything on the menu to properly educate customers. Step #1 of having a restaurant: have a trained staff of servers who have, at the very least, tried what's on offer.
Adding both points together, we arrive at the VALUE/PRICE of the items. I don't know what math they're doing because they have more expensive ingredients, but it's completely unrealistic. Even more so when you leave there with Styrofoam packaging inside a plastic grocery bag. If you want to sell yourself as a brand of exclusive items, the entire experience has to convey that purpose to justify the price charged.
Unfortunately, I won't be going back and I don't recommend it. There are other gluten-free bakery and pastry shops that are more honest in their offerings in Brasília.
I spent a week in Foz do Iguaçu and ate at Pronatu's every day because I'm celiac. The food is very good, as are the snacks and pizzas. I was very well attended to and the price is also good! I can only thank them!
I have celiac disease, and my experiences have not been good. I went to the Jaragua do Sul location a while ago, and the pizzas took a long time to be served and when they arrived, they were cold. After that, on my birthday, I invited my family to go to the all-you-can-eat restaurant that was held here in my city in Joinville, and again our experience was bad. The pizzas took a long time to be served and were cold. And about 2 weeks ago, I insisted on going to the all-you-can-eat restaurant that opened here in Joinville again. The pizzas took about 15 minutes to be served, they arrived cold and I noticed that they were reheated, not fresh. The pizzas on the menu didn't even come in all flavors, and at the end they asked if there was any flavor we would like to try.
The place is beautiful, with a pleasant atmosphere, but the service and all-you-can-eat menu leave something to be desired.
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.
Terrible service. I gave up and left.
I went there last Monday, June 30th, with my boyfriend, and honestly, it was the last straw. I always went to the restaurant because of the gluten-free options, but the service, which was already bad, keeps getting worse.
The waitresses are always unfriendly, without a smile on their faces, with an unfriendly expression, as if they were doing me a favor by serving me. In addition, their slovenliness in their appearance draws attention: messy hair, unkempt clothes, an expression of someone who seems to not want to be there.
This time, I wasn't even served. I went in with my umbrella (dry, by the way, since it was just drizzling), stood in front of the counter and the waitress, a short girl, who I've seen working there for a long time, just looked me up and down, paying more attention to the umbrella than to me. She didn't even say "good afternoon", didn't ask if I needed help, absolutely nothing.
I felt so bad about that cold reception and those dirty looks that I gave up on eating anything and left. And the most unbelievable thing: she saw us leaving and didn't even ask if there was a problem or if I needed anything.
It's sad, because it was the only place in Santos where I could find some gluten-free options, but I'm not going to spend my money in a place where I'm not treated well. On top of everything, the waitresses don't even have badges or identification, which makes communication and direct feedback even more difficult.
I work in employee training and development and I think it's unacceptable for a company to allow this type of service to happen. Either the company provides adequate training for these waitresses or, if there's no improvement, the right thing to do would be to replace them. Customer service is the calling card of any business and, in this case, it's terrible.
Unfortunately, as long as these people remain in the service, my boyfriend and I won't be going back. Never again.

A good choice for those with dietary restrictions — everything is vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free and without compromising on flavor.
The food is well prepared, the service is good and the prices are in line with other places in the region.

Excellent! Delicious preparations and friendly service. There are gluten-free options, which is a plus! Special mention to Mr. Maurizio's friendliness!
Delicious pizza! There are no tables in the restaurant, it's only delivery, the waiters aren't very charismatic lol but the pizza is extremely good! For celiacs who miss pizza, it's worth it! Crispy dough, I liked it!
Having lunch at Bio Gourmet is a true sensory experience. From the moment you enter, you are welcomed by a vibrant and elevated atmosphere — a true egregore that transforms the act of eating into a ritual of well-being.
The restaurant's proposal is 100% healthy, with a menu entirely free of gluten and lactose, without sacrificing flavor and sophistication. On this visit, I enjoyed a succulent fraudinha with herb sauce — soft, aromatic and perfectly seasoned. I accompanied it with sautéed organic mushrooms paired with grilled pineapple, creating a contrast between the earthy and the sweet that delights the palate.
To finish, the detox juice with orange, kale, apple and mint brought freshness and lightness to the whole thing, leaving a feeling of fullness and renewed energy.
Bio Gourmet is not just a restaurant — it is an invitation to take care of your body and soul through food. Highly recommended for those seeking health, flavor and an environment that exudes good vibes.
"THE BEST"
I came to Lindacap after a couple of friends recommended it. I felt comfortable and well attended to by Vinicius and Mara, and I can assure you that the service is exceptional.
IMPORTANT DETAIL: THEY CARE FOR THOSE WHO ARE GLUTEN INTOLERANT!!!
The dish I chose was:
PARMEGIANA
Perfectly cooked.
Impeccable homemade sauce
The consistency of the cheese is inexplicable.
The atmosphere is cozy and well lit, and the vases with natural flowers give it a human touch.
I read some negative reviews and came to the conclusion that if the rules of good conduct were respected, there would be no problems, regardless of the amount invested.
Congratulations to the entire team, you have gained another loyal customer.
