the chef Renan saints With more than 20 years of career, he began his journey in the kitchen at the Transamérica and Grand Hyatt São Paulo hotels. Soon after, he participated in the inauguration of the ICI Brasserie JK, where he actually became a chef, passing through all sectors of French cuisine, such as confectionery, Gard manger and the hot kitchen.
Currently, he leads the Virô Bistro , which is inspired by classic French bistros and small cafes from different countries. Managed by the restaurant Lalo Zanini the restaurant in Baixo Augusta works without a break between lunch and dinner, with a casual menu at attractive prices.
