The story
Since 1996, Varanda Grill has been a defining presence in São Paulo’s dining scene, earning a reputation as one of Brazil’s most famous steakhouses. Founded by Sylvio Lazzarini, the restaurant is the flagship of the Varanda Group, a network that has built a true ecosystem around premium beef. This dedication to quality has been recognized by the Michelin Guide, which has highlighted Varanda Grill among its recommendations in 2024, 2025, and 2026.
The experience at Varanda Grill is rooted in a complete farm-to-table philosophy. The group’s own brand, Intermezzo Carnes, supplies the restaurant with certified Angus and Wagyu beef, ensuring full traceability from pasture to plate. This commitment to sustainable production and animal welfare is central to the restaurant’s identity, and it’s reflected in the exceptional marbling and flavor of every cut served.
While the focus is squarely on the meat, the dining experience goes beyond the classic steakhouse format. Chef Fabio Lazzarini offers an innovative Omakase da Carne, a unique tasting menu inspired by Japanese tradition. This intimate experience, served at the chef’s counter for just six guests per night, presents a journey through the history of churrasco, elevating the appreciation of beef to a new level.
With multiple locations across São Paulo, including the flagship at Rua Prudente Correia in Jardim Europa, Varanda Grill provides a refined yet welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant also offers a carefully curated wine list and a full cocktail menu, making it an ideal destination for both a focused meal and special celebrations.
