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!
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'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.
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.
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!
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)
I was there today and loved the menu, the number of options and the service! I went with my boyfriend who is celiac, I am not and even so it did not disappoint in any way, the pizza was well served and very tasty, the mini-churros were also very tasty.
I would like to highlight the great service of the attendant who works at the checkout and also when delivering the dishes, unfortunately I do not know her name, but we went in the evening and she was there.
The atmosphere is calm and clean, it is suitable for all types of groups from friends, couples and large families.
Success!
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.
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.

The snacks are very tasty, I loved the closed esfihas, but I can't bear to pay those exorbitant prices again for a small amount for the price.
We already know that gluten-free food is more expensive, but having to pay 70 reais to eat two esfihas (which come frozen, on top of that) makes me even angrier about being celiac hahaha. Even more so after I got to know other places where the prices are lower, so I can eat more different things.
Basically, it's not cost-effective, but if you have the money and the will to buy it, go ahead, you'll enjoy it.
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.
On my first visit, I received excellent service from an employee whose name I unfortunately don't remember. On my second visit, I had other employees and the service was mediocre, and I had to go to the counter to get the menu and place my order.
The place is very comfortable, despite being small, and beautiful.
The food is tasty and within the gluten-free price range. However, I missed more savory options (only cheese bread and chicken coxinha).
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.
The tapioca was great, the waitress was friendly, for a gluten free meal it was quite satisfactory. The only thing I missed was chairs in the restaurant itself.
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.
Today I went to Rice for the first time, and as a celiac, I must say it was a very good experience.
I got a dish on sale for 51.90. It came with risotto, fries, a steak and a lemonade.
The food was very tasty, and the portions were good.
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!
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

The pasta was perfect and it was amazing to know that there was a gluten-free pasta option......... however I felt a little pressured by the waiter to choose the dish quickly...... lunch time and I think he was in a hurry......but otherwise it's a wonderful cantina

I really like Sea Salt, because the food is very tasty. They are always concerned about informing whether the food contains gluten and whether there are allergens. There are delicious and healthy desserts. There is no parking, but the restaurant has an agreement with the parking lot on the corner and it is not expensive to park there.
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!
Many options to create your poke as you like and how hungry you are. Healthy food at an affordable price. The ingredients are always fresh and tasty.
There are gluten-free options for those with celiac disease.
This Pad Thai is divine!!!! What an explosion of flavor!!! It has vegan and vegetarian options! The noodles are made from arrpz and gluten-free!! The chili was incredible!!! The tangerine tea is delicious too! The waitress was very attentive in the service and explanation of the dishes.
Urbã must be my favorite vegan restaurant in São Paulo. Whenever I can, I escape to Barra Funda and go there for lunch: they only open the salon from 12pm to 3pm
The prices are very good: with R$60 (05/2023) you have a complete meal with one of the various drink options, starter, smaller portion of the main dish (the smallest is already large!!) and some divine dessert.
An interesting thing is that the meals vary every day, you always eat something different and it's always a surprise, and on the weekend there's always a different dessert in addition to the fixed fudge (R$15/R$17).
Gluten-free options are also present every day!
Visit, it's really worth it!
The place is very cozy, the food is excellent and the service is wonderful. Jean served us very well and was very friendly. I'm celiac and they prepared everything carefully.
Very nice place. The lighting is perfect, it has very good acoustic treatment. The wine list is good. The food was perfect. I tried Penne Al Carciofini, Pomodori Secchi and Rucola which is a pasta made without gluten and this dish does not contain lactose and I recommend it for celiac patients who want to eat good pasta safely.
The service is excellent. Very attentive waiters and maître d' with great knowledge of everything that is served. I come back and recommend it.
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.
