Brazil's first and only chef to unlock two Michelin stars for his Sao Paulo restaurant D.O.M. will be opening a new, casual, healthy organic restaurant in the city.
After teasing the opening on Instagram one week ago, chef Alex Atala has revealed more details on his latest project set to open next month.
In an interview with Eater, the chef said his next restaurant will feature a mix of table service, counter service and take-out.
Like his culinary philosophy at D.O.M., the menu will promote and highlight traditional ingredients indigenous to Brazil, including tapioca, Brazilian cheeses, acai berries and traditional fruit juices.
Atala is often described as the unofficial ambassador of native Brazilian cuisine.
In 2013, D.O.M. took the second spot on Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants awards, and Atala received the lifetime achievement award.
Gastronomes around the world may also be familiar with Atala who was most recently featured in the Netflix series "Chef's Table," which spotlights some of the most innovative and exciting chefs in the world.
Aside from his flagship restaurant, Atala's other projects include restaurant Dalva e Dito, and Acougue Central (Central Butchery), a butcher-restaurant that specializes in Brazilian steak and beef.
His casual eatery is expected to open in April.
