Inaugurated in 1981 at Alameda Franca number 1088, the Ritz, with an easy going atmosphere and retro air, has its decoration signed by the painter Wesley Duke Lee, who also designed the restaurant’s logo.
All year round, under the curatorship of the architect André Vainer and the painter Mirella Marino, the showcases get new painting interventions with illustration, sculpture and photography works.
Always democratic and open to everyone, the Ritz was a pioneer in many aspects in the city. It was one of the first restaurants to serve wine in wineglass and to give a chance to academic and young people into their staff.
