Coco Bambu Faria Lima is the Faria Lima branch of the nationally known Brazilian seafood chain, located on Avenida Brigadeiro Faria Lima in the Itaim Bibi district of São Paulo, Brazil. The restaurant is known for large, shareable seafood dishes, most famously camarão na moranga (shrimp served in a hollowed-out pumpkin) and peixada Coco Bambu, a mixed fish and seafood stew designed for two or more diners, alongside casquinha de siri (baked crab). Portions are generous and built for the table, reflecting the chain's reputation for abundance as much as flavor. The dining room is large, modern, and lively, with bright decor and a steady buzz typical of a busy commercial strip in Itaim Bibi, drawing both business diners from the surrounding office district and families out for a weekend meal. The drinks list includes a broad selection of caipirinhas and tropical cocktails alongside a moderate wine list geared toward pairing with seafood. Given the restaurant's popularity and large groups it regularly serves, reservations are recommended, especially for weekend dinner and larger parties.
