The Team
Guilherme Reis
Xodó Head ChefGrowing up in the quiet countryside outside Sao Paulo, Chef Guilherme is a master of "churrascaria," or Brazilian grilling, perfecting his craft for nearly fifteen years not only in Brazil but also in Bahrain. Here at Xodò’s, Chef Guilherme has crafted an impressive carnivore-based menu as well as non-meat options for guests.
“I grew up in a humble environment where simple ingredients were used in every home, so I learned over the years to use these ingredients and elevate them to renowned five star signature dishes. Coming from a traditional Brazilian family, most of our celebrations are centred on food, herbs and spices.”
