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.

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.

Delicious burger with gluten-free option!!!

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 The place no longer exists and has been replaced by an ice cream shop.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)

The place is lovely. There are a variety of delicious options for those with gluten and lactose restrictions. We bought several products from the shop, including French bread and frozen cheese bread. At the café in the outdoor area, we tried the grilled bread and the cheese bread, which didn't even taste like it didn't have cheese. I highly recommend it. Just be prepared to pay, because everything is salty.

Essential place in the life of the gluten intolerant... Thank you very much for the beautiful work, guys...

They are not gluten-free! They are not suitable for celiacs, so don't waste your time if you can't eat gluten. I hope that one day the restaurant will actually consider itself gluten-free and make the information about cross-contamination clearer. Symbolic note: I didn't eat anything to be able to evaluate.

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.

Caroline Lazarini

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!

Wandinha

I am celiac and there is a specific menu for those who cannot consume gluten. I recommend it and would go back.

Emanuelle Nascimento

Everything is made with care and with selected ingredients, gluten-free, dairy-free, all organic and healthy, and best of all, very delicious! The best option for those with dietary restrictions

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.
