Exímia Bar, nestled in a discreet street in São Paulo's upscale Itaim Bibi district, offers luxury travelers an unparalleled journey into the world of high-end Brazilian mixology and gastronomy. Conceived by the renowned bartender Márcio Silva and celebrated chef Manu Buffara, voted Latin America's Best Chef in 2022, Exímia is a portal to an exquisite universe where traditional Brazilian bar culture is elevated to a global standard. The establishment is a vibrant collaboration within the Grupo Locale, aiming for a constant pursuit of perfection, as its Latin name suggests.
The ambiance is intimately designed across two floors, blending modern architecture with inviting warmth. The ground floor subtly nods to traditional Brazilian botecos with its brighter setting, while the upper floor provides a cozier, dimly lit atmosphere, often featuring a DJ from Thursday to Saturday to enhance the lively yet refined experience. This duality reflects the meticulous balance found in both the innovative cocktails and the gourmet dishes.
The culinary offerings, under Chef Buffara's direction, complement Silva's masterful cocktails, which are crafted using profound anthropological research, vintage inspirations, and unique Brazilian ingredients. Guests can expect a harmonious blend of flavors and textures, with some cocktails undergoing extensive preparation, and exclusive seven-course harmonized dinners available bi-weekly on the second floor, promising a truly memorable gastronomic adventure.
