Tanit

The story

Tanit, São Paulo – Catalan-Mediterranean Cuisine by Chef Oscar Bosch

Mediterranean Cooking, Catalan Soul

On Rua Oscar Freire in São Paulo’s Jardins neighborhood, Tanit brings the spirit of the Spanish coast to Brazil. The restaurant is named for a Phoenician goddess once worshipped in Formentera and Ibiza, and the name sets the tone: bright, welcoming, and rooted in the Mediterranean. The space is well lit, with a pleasant outdoor veranda that recalls the lively seaside atmosphere of Catalonia.

Chef Oscar Bosch

Oscar Bosch was born in Catalonia and grew up in his family’s restaurant, Can Bosch, in Cambrils – a kitchen that has held a Michelin star for more than 30 years. Before moving to Brazil in 2009, Bosch refined his craft at three of the world’s most celebrated restaurants: El Bulli, El Celler de Can Roca, and the three-Michelin-starred Hof van Cleve. After consulting and launching a catering service, he opened Tanit in 2016. His work earned him Chef of the Year honors from Veja Comer e Beber and Quem Acontece in 2017, and a spot among Brazil’s rising gastronomic talents by GQ.

The Menu

Tanit serves a personal take on Mediterranean cuisine, with a clear Catalan accent. The menu features tapas, sharing plates, and modern reinterpretations of traditional recipes. Drinks include gin and tonics and clericot, a Spanish-style sangria. The cooking is precise and ingredient-driven, reflecting Bosch’s training in some of Europe’s finest kitchens.

Recognition

In 2026, Tanit earned a place among Michelin’s Recommended restaurants – a fitting acknowledgment for a chef whose family has been part of the Michelin world for decades. It is a destination for anyone seeking authentic, elevated Catalan-Mediterranean food in São Paulo.
