Virô Bistrô

Frommer's Review

Newcomer to Vila Madalena, Virô certainly makes a splash. The sprawling elegant mansion houses a cafe, a French bakery, and brasserie. The bakery and cafe open early at 8am and serve up delicious coffees, a continental breakfast with croissants and other sweet treats, and a selection of sandwiches. The main dining room opens in the evening and works with a much more elaborate menu. Dishes include a number of pastas and risottos, but the strength of the menu is the variety of excellent meat dishes such as filet Dijon, a juicy steak in creamy Dijon mustard sauce, or the grilled rack of lamb in a sesame seed crust served with cassava purée. Guests can either sit out front in the solarium, or choose a table in the antique-furnished dining room or on the cozy backyard patio.
