Tuju

São Paulo, Brazil

• No.16 Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants 2024

Chef Ivan Ralston’s São Paulo restaurant, Tuju, ranked No.16 in Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants 2024, is a vivid snapshot of Brazil’s rich flavourscape. Born into a family of restaurateurs, Ralston sharpened his craft in the celebrated kitchens of Maní and Mugaritz before opening Tuju in 2014. His approach is grounded in research and respect for the land, with menus that showcase foraged ingredients, sustainably sourced seafood and reimagined meat dishes, while a leafy garden and open, wood-panelled interiors add to this environmentally-conscious ethos. Pastry chef Rhaiza Zanetti brings her own creative spark, crafting desserts that celebrate Brazil’s native fruits and vibrant flavours. The drinks are just as considered: a wine list heavy on biodynamic and natural options pairs beautifully with sensational cocktails featuring local herbs and spices. At Tuju, every detail is a nod to Brazil’s diversity, delivered with elegance and heart.
