São Paulo - I came here to eat II - DOM

Maru posted a list of the top 50 restaurants in the world, and I was surprised to se D.O.M. on the list and since São Paulo is on my route, well...

This was a great dinner experience. 2 hours, 40 minutes; not that anyone's counting. The room is softly lit, background music perfect and service gracious.

Here's my tasting menu. Optimus it's called - 6-8-10 dishes. Please excuse the multilingual captions.
