Baleia Rooftop in São Paulo

Baleia Rooftop: the Mediterranean above Faria Lima

On the roof of the B32

In the heart of Itaim Bibi, the business district of Avenida Brigadeiro Faria Lima, the B32 complex houses a theatre and can be spotted from afar thanks to the huge metal whale sculpture standing in front of it. The restaurant takes its name from the play “Jonas e a Baleia” and embraces this theatrical heritage. It is reached from Rua Lício Nogueira: a large room with picture windows, wood panelling and plants, and a terrace facing the glass façades of the neighbouring towers. More than a distant panorama, it is the energy of the financial district that sets the scene, especially when the offices light up.

Sharing plates and signature drinks

The cuisine draws on the Mediterranean repertoire, from sharing plates to pasta, risottos and seafood. The bar focuses on a list of house cocktails, at around R$52 to R$56, alongside the great classics. Open for lunch and dinner, the venue also hosts private events.
