Readers of Condé Nast Traveler magazine selected Carlota as one of the 50 most interest-ing restaurants in the world. ariocas must have cast many of those votes if you can believe the long lines waiting for Sunday’s brunch buffet. (It’s definitely worth the wait.) Carlota is quite small, seating only 40 people and the décor, like the menu, is unusual.
The small bar area near the entrance is delineated by hanging lamps, while the walls are adorned with colorful Brazilian handicrafts alongside photographs of Asian women seemingly from the 1930s. Somehow it works. The menu offers braised beef ragout, grilled duck breast with fresh peach sauce and tuna with foie gras, and mashed potatoes with macademia nuts.
But it is the daily specials where chef Carla Pernambuco’s flair becomes most apparent. They are listed on a blackboard and, of course, vary. However, don’t pass on the Asian rolls no matter what they are that day – sometimes Vietnamese style, sometimes filled with Peking duck or crabmeat and ginger. They are fabulous. Fried samosas and rice and mushroom cakes are also standouts. Try the guava soufflé for dessert. Casual chic.
