Banking in Pinheiros becomes bar with oysters, wines and disco

An old banking in Pinheiros came to a new life. Newspapers and magazines gave way to an aquarium of oysters and shelves with wine bottles. Inaugurated in March, Fancy Bite receives the clientele in beach chairs on the sidewalk and on the street.

In addition to the space, the menu is also tiny: oysters are served in pairs and can be with pickles, tuna tartare or uni and ponzu. Prices range from $ 30 to $ 39. There is also a gratin option, which takes grated truffles and truffled bechamel.

Oysters also go to tuna and oyster ceviche (R $ 49) and tuna with coconut tiger milk with melon (R $ 45). There are still special that change, with sushi.

To accompany, the wines are served in cups of $ 35 to $ 49-labels vary and may appear, for example, the South African Busy Bee, made with Chenin Blanc grapes.

Comes mix Spanish and Asian influences and are in charge of chef Fabíola Cor, who had three restaurants in Spain and headed kitchens in Italy. Back in Brazil after 24 years in Europe, he decided to bet on a still new model in São Paulo, along with Monica Ginger, who comes from the fashion area. The idea came from the couple’s taste for oysters, which appear increasingly in São Paulo menus, and wines.

They bought the banking on a street moved with restaurants and bars, and renovated it. The space was tiled and equipped with a small kitchen and gained minimalist decoration in black and white.

On Sundays, diurnal parties with DJs play in the bank. To pack the service, the sound highlights brasilidades and house.
