You wouldn’t guess from the exterior of this Jardim eatery with its white stucco farmhouse façade that it was one of the city’s top molecular gourmands. Through a front courtyard with singular shade tree and simple wood signage, visitors walk a long corridor lined in a whimsical mural above a 30-ft. reclaimed wood bench. A series of small parlor lounges home to a wine cellar and library lead to the main dining room with its rafter ceiling and open architecture that leads to a series of additional outdoor dining rooms.
The Food

Main dishes include variations of filet mignon, lychees filled with foie gras and local fish presentations in ways you’d never expect.
