Ana Luiza Godoy Barreiros is a native of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She earned an Architecture degree from Santa Ursula University and was an architect for approximately nine years. Many of the design projects she worked in the latter part of her architectural career were related to restaurants. Since Ana always loved cuisine, her work on restaurant projects influenced her to change careers. After attending many courses and classes with renowned chefs, a close friend invited her to design a small café in one of the federal university facilities in Rio. A few months later, they became partners in the café. Later, she and her partner opened other cafés and small bistros, always connected to museums or cultural spaces, like the famous Academia Brasileira de Letras, in downtown Rio. They also started a successful catering service. In 2000, the partners were joined by the French chef Claude Lapeyre and opened bistro in the Casa França-Brasil that was rated by Veja Rio magazine as one of the best bistros in Rio in 2002. In 2004 Ana moved to the United States, accompanying her husband who was offered an assignment in an international organization. The family lives in Bethesda, Maryland.
Ana started Fine Gastronomy providing catering services in early 2005. Among her clients are many embassies, cultural and military attachés, and other international community individuals and organizations.
