Just ranked sixth in the World's 50Best, Alex Atala's restaurant DOM in Sao Paulo has been in the very first positions for years, thanks also to the commitment of his colleague Geovane Carneiro and sommelier Gabriela Monteleone. Born in 1968, Atala speaks very well Italian and has been several times as a speakers at Identità Milano and Identità London
Alex Atala’s intentions and ambitions could be sensed since the beginning of his adventure in Rua Barão de Capanema, considering the chosen name for the restaurant back in 1999 was DOM (Dominus Optimus Maximus). Today, the most suitable word to describe this elegant restaurant in the heart of the Jardins neighbourhood is “perfection” by far, with reference to an attention to detail that begins in the most isolated areas of Brazil and ends up with a super-precise presentation of the dishes and of the flavours, as aware of his choices and doses as an experienced alchemist.
