A Casa do Porco

Bib Gourmand (Green Star) • Pork, Brazilian. If you're looking to savour pork like nowhere else on earth… this is the place! Here, chef Jefferson Rueda — who oversees the rearing of the pigs and the growing of most of the vegetables used in the restaurant — revives timeless flavours through technically sophisticated dishes. In an informal, relaxed, and rather lively space with an open kitchen, you'll find the option to order à la carte or to go for the tasting menu: D.O.C. (Denominação de Origem Caipira), which brings traditional rural Brazilian cooking into the contemporary age, weaving together classic dishes and more gastronomic small plates. Two highlights stand out: the house classic, Porco Sanzé, slow-roasted for six hours, and a more contemporary creation, the Temaki (Porcotuna) — a hand-rolled seaweed cone filled with raw pork, shiso, shari seasoned rice, and enoki mushrooms. Every meal here is a celebration of the Sunday family table!
