BREAKING: Evvai in São Paulo wins the Art of Hospitality Award 2026, sponsored by Johnnie Walker Gold, as part of The 50 Best Restaurants Latin America.
At Evvai, hospitality is as much an art as the food itself. The restaurant has built its reputation on a distinctive approach to fine dining, where chef Luiz Filipe Souza’s Italian-Brazilian tasting menu is matched by service that is personal, intuitive and full of character.
From a hand-picked playlist that moves between Donna Summers and bossa nova to illustrated cards accompanying every course, the details are anything but ordinary. Restaurant manager Jac Pessoa and her team take the time to understand their guests, remembering their preferences and anticipating their needs, all while creating an atmosphere that feels relaxed rather than formal.
When speaking about winning the Art of Hospitality Award, Souza says: “It recognises a lot of things that aren’t always celebrated. Often, people talk about the food and the chef, but the people behind a restaurant are what really give it life.”
