 Exotic Brazilian Food in the Lap of Nature
Food court, sheltered around a mystic tree
Amidst the jostling crowd of bright themed Brazilian food courts, like Christon Café in Tokyo, Robot Staffed Robbot Restaurant in Nuremburg, Vampire Caffeine the Ginza, Pitch Black Restaurant in Beijing, the name of Figueira Rubayat in Sao Paulo stands out distinctly for its rich, natural heritage and highly innovative outlook. The name itself of this restaurant is a fancy amalgamation of Rubayat, the poetry by 11th century Persian poet Omar Khyam and Figueira, the exterior courtroom.
A theatrical surrounding of a Brazilian food court, fashioned around a 150 year old colossal fig tree, which is fifty meters in height and eight meters across, is known as Figueira Rubaiyat. Brochures are available, like all other popular sao paulo restaurants. Visitors can be aware of all the methods incorporated to save this giant fig tree from the brochure. A quarter of the meticulously maintained tree remains within the inner gazebo of the red bricked restaurant, while the rest of it spreads outside the canopy which is fourteen meters in height and forty five meters in diameter. The view of a blue firmament often beckons through the transparent and sprinkler cooled Plexiglas roof of Figueira Rubayat. The indigenous Sao Paulo food along with the exotic delicacies is served here in a fine-dining setting. So fine, that you just don’t feel like leaving.
The depiction of a Brazilian food court, Figueira Rubayat remains half-hearted without the mention of its astounding delicacies. Figueira Rubayat is famous for its red meat or beef, brought from the owner’s farm, catering to the taste of continental elites. Fish lovers are ushered by, Mediterranean seafood, like paella, codfish, and grilled prawns, imported from Santa Catarina and Cananéia. Appetizers like tapas with bread and capaccio di funghi with truffle oil, the Brazilian national dish feijoada, (stew of thick bean and beef) and a wide ranged buffet containing all sorts of local foods of Sao Paulo add a feather in the cap of the picturesque Figueira Rubayat. The oyster bar with an extensive variety of 950 types of liquor compliments the rest.
The mystic ambience of this Brazilian food court, clinging to the limbs of a huge tree, makes Sao Paulo food even more fascinating and a favorite of travelers.
