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!
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
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.
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.
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.
The best pizza I've ever eaten, I'm gluten intolerant, the pizza doesn't even look like it's gluten free, it has several types of dough, one tastier than the other! And to top it off, great service.
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 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!
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.
