The 50 best coffee shops and best cafes in Sao Paulo

Awesome cafe that only serves coffee and a small collection of pastries. If you’re looking for more options other than coffee I would head to some other cafes but in terms of coffee this is the place to go. We ordered a cappuccino, latte, an affogato and also a rosquinha de pinga (or Brazilian style doughnut). All foods were awesome and would definitely get the same items again once we go back.

Rustic/Industrial Decor. Chill spot for a quick bite or casual meet. Ordered the Brisket Sandwich, Grill Cheese Sandwich, and Fluffy cake. Not bad👌🏾

Great place to go for coffee and a light snack. I spent some time there reading. The atmosphere is amazing, with moderate noise which makes it perfect for reading. The staff is friendly and attentive.

If you're passionate about coffee and want to savor the distinctive flavors of top-quality beans, this is the perfect place for you. Just a heads-up for future visitors in 2024: be sure to bring your credit card, as cash payments may not be accepted.

It's a nice spot but the coffee was average sadly.

Great space (except for the garden where you can catch a whiff of sewage), great coffee and great food. The staff is slow and thinks a little too highly of itself, though, making the experience a bit off-putting. Otherwise, great compared to other specialty coffee shops in the neighborhood.

5.0 | This place is a gem. I think this is easily one of the most unique coffee spots I’ve been to. they also have a ritual menu, where I ordered the cappuccino, one was made italian style, the other brazilian style. it was very pleasant, and both were presented in a way to appreciate the uniqueness of ea. the other folks got pour overs and teas, which they also enjoyed. the branding of the space is nice, and the experience is catered to true coffee enthusiasts. I loved it. I highly recommend you go if you’re in São Paulo.

Service was rude after I asked about organic milk and coffee (none), I asked if I could have one of the sandwiches on their “pao de fermentação” but was condescendingly told no. The tuna melt sandwich was bland (more bread than the tuna and tasteless cheese), the cheese melt was good. Banana bread, flat white, and fresh mint tea were great!!

Honestly loved everything about it. Staff was helpful even though I don’t speak Portuguese, vibe is great love the space a lot. Food was good. My espresso was super sour not sure if it’s a regular serve or mine was a bit off but overall everything was enjoyable.

It’s disappointing that a café designed to mimic the aesthetic of places in New York, San Francisco, or Boston ends up enforcing outdated, provincial policies—like banning laptop use. Unfortunately, this is all too common in Brazil: a polished exterior meant to impress, but without the substance to match. Style over function, image over authenticity. It feels like yet another example of something made just “for the English to see”—100% superficial.

Small, but quality coffee shop. I had the chai latte with oat milk and it was so good. It was actually the best chai I've had in town. You could tell the chai was quality and pure and the oat added the right amount of sweetness. I'm sure it would taste good with cow milk too.

Tucked away café spot with great sandwich and coffee options. The back patio is a nice pocket of greenery and they also stock a number of cool cycling trinkets. Great for weekend brunch, very friendly staff. The chocolate cookie was absurdly good, as was the cold brew with tonic.

Really good coffee, some of the best we had in Sao Paulo. The decor is very unique and all fits together to make a very cool atmosphere- a must visit for cycling fans!

I know how popular this place is, but I never had the chance to visit until now. I ordered a simple espresso, and it came nicely brewed. It would have been better though, if it came with a shot of sparkling water and a small bite of sweet like most places do. Almost perfect, but not quite.

A great coffee place! They work with many different local coffee farms all over Brazil and their hand drip coffee is just great. The owner’s son got the barista championship in 2023.

As a regular barista, I tried to find good coffee in Sao Paulo. After a few disappointing shots, I found this magical place. They have very high-quality coffee, and the owner provided us with personal service, was very kind and thoughtful of explaining about the coffee and the flavours. Highly recommended!

This location is nice but the nicest is still Jardin. I loaded the arabe cookies, salmon croissant, apple pie and decaf coffee pourover with oat milk here. Really delicious! The staff and wifi are also great here.

It was difficult to get the staff’s attention to make an order, very cold and angry looking people. I felt like we were playing a game of tag, even though there were more staff members standing around than there were actual customers in the shop. But I’m mostly sad because I don’t think the cappuccino I ordered had any coffee in it… it just tasted like steamed milk. And the bagels here aren’t actually bagels, they’re just bread shaped in the form of bagels. Anyway, I still need a caffeine fix so time to leave and find an actual cup of coffee today. Why is it so hard to find descent coffee in Brazil?

UM is a unique place in São Paulo for having coffee and…The staff are exceptional and knowledgeable. The location design is well thought and quite comfortable. When visiting São Paulo it is one of the places you should have on your “want to have coffee there” list.

Coffee is superb but their monthly Coffee Club is absolutely awful, missed deliveries, incorrect orders, random card charges, and no-one takes responsibility, they ignore the complaints via WhatsApp so I have to comment here. Boram, Garam, please sort out your team

We are visiting from Canada and really really appreciated Brazilian specialty coffee. Lucky that Brazilian can drink this cup whenever they want. Farm to carefully sourced to your cup there is so much hard work behind it. We were just so thankful that we can experience Brazil’s the best cup. Hands down. If you are around you gotta check this place it is life time experience. We will visit Brazil again just to taste Um’s experience. Thank you.

Nice place with good food. Coffee was ok.

(Translated by Google) Very pleasant atmosphere, good prices, excellent service. I ordered a filtered coffee (R$10), a large size, good to share. Iced coconut cake (R$15.00) with a thin and light sponge cake. I found the peanut cookie (R$14) very tasty, and it comes warm. (Original) Ambiente muito agradável, bons preços, excelente atendimento. Pedi um café coado (r$10), tamanho grande, bom pra dividir. Bolo gelado de coco (r$15,00) massa fina e leve tipo pão de ló. O cookie de paçoca (r$14) achei bem gostoso, vem aquecido.

(Translated by Google) The coffee itself was okay, but the service left much to be desired. I arrived, said good morning, and the staff ignored me. The menu had several options for filtered coffees, and I explained that I didn't know the difference. The waiter simply ignored me, didn't explain, and brought me whatever I wanted. I think the poor service will make me reconsider returning. I hope they improve! (Original) O café em si foi ok, porém o atendimento deixa a desejar, cheguei ao local dei bom dia os atendentes ignoraram, no cardápio tinha algumas opções de cafés coados e eu informei que não sabia a diferença o garçom simplesmente ignorou, não me explicou e trouxe qualquer um, acho que a questão do atendimento vai me fazer considerar voltar novamente ao local. Espero que melhorem!

(Translated by Google) The place is cute, but the service leaves something to be desired, and the menu prices are either wrong, or the waitress insisted on charging me the wrong amount even after I asked if the bill was correct. The difference wasn't the traditional 10%, it was actually different. I went with my boyfriend and my pet and sat at one of the side tables for two, kind of in the middle of the aisle. I don't plan on going back. (Original) O lugar é bonitinho, mas o atendimento deixa a desejar, e os preços do cardápio ou estão errados, ou a moça que me atendeu insistiu em me cobrar errado mesmo após eu perguntar se a conta estava certa, e a diferença não se tratava dos 10% tradicional, era diferente mesmo. Fui com o meu namorado e com o meu pet, e sentei em uma das mesinhas na lateral para duas pessoas que ficam meio que no meio da passagem. Não pretendo voltar.

(Translated by Google) A good place to enjoy a coffee. Top-notch service. I liked the decor. It has power outlets and Wi-Fi for customers. A great place to go with friends for a chat, or to spend a few hours working on your laptop. (Original) Um bom lugar para apreciar um café. Atendimento nota 10. Gostei da decoração. Possui tomadas e wifi para clientes. Lugar legal para ir com amigos bater um papo, ou para passar algumas horas trabalhando com seu notebook.

(Translated by Google) The food is good, though a bit overpriced... The place is beautiful and pleasant, but the service is poor. One of the waitresses is very rude. She has no tact, and this isn't just true of me, but also of my colleagues who also frequent the place. When asking for the Wi-Fi password, she's always very rude to "guarantee" that you'll eat there. She doesn't care at all when speaking to customers. I also went with a friend once and brought a packed lunch. I was going to order juice and dessert, but this same waitress informed me that I couldn't eat the packed lunch, but in a very blunt way, putting me in a very uncomfortable situation. By law, there should be a sign prohibiting the consumption of packed lunches; otherwise, they can't prohibit it if I buy something there... But it seems the establishment doesn't really care about this... I pass by the place every day, but my colleagues and I stopped going there because of this waitress... anyway, it's quite complicated. (Original) A comida é boa, apesar de meio superfaturada… O lugar é bonito e agradável, mas o atendimento é ruim. Uma das atendentes é muito grossa. Não tem tato nenhum e não é só comigo, mas com colegas meus que também frequentam o local. Ao pedir a senha do Wi-Fi ela sempre é muito grossa para “garantir” que você vai consumir no local. Não tem cuidado nenhum para falar com os clientes. Uma vez também fui com uma amiga e levei marmita. Ia pedir suco e sobremesa, entretanto essa mesma atendente veio me informar que eu não podia comer a marmita, mas de uma forma bastante direta, me colocando em uma situação muito desconfortável. Por lei deveria haver uma placa proibindo o consumo de marmitas, caso contrario não podem proibir, se eu comprar algo no local… Mas parece que o estabelecimento não se importa muito com isso… Passo pelo local todos os dias mas eu e meus colegas deixamos de ir lá por conta dessa atendente… enfim, bem complicado

(Translated by Google) The ambiance is beautiful and reasonably spacious for a café in São Paulo. The food is delicious and the prices aren't exorbitant. Just one constructive criticism: the service leaves a bit to be desired… people seem to be doing everything out of obligation. Other than that, it was a good café. (Original) Ambiente bonito e razoavelmente grande para um café em São Paulo. A comida é saborosa e os preços não são exorbitantes. Uma crítica construtiva apenas, o atendimento deixa um pouco a desejar… as pessoas parecem estar fazendo tudo por apenas obrigação. Tirando isso, foi um bom café.

Bougie yet laid back coffee place, very industrial and offers a huge array of brunch, dinner, coffe and drinks. Very much like the vibes of the city of São Paulo. Not only the dishes and drinks were very good, looking at the open kitchen to see them being made was also an experience in itself. The whole place was built on a parking lot and you can still see the old structure that contribute to the “hipster” city like vibes. The place is perfect for work (Wi-fi) and meeting of big groups but I think the “aesthetics” are specially pleasing if you’re visiting São Paulo and want something not so common in other Brazilian cities. It’s the NYC kinda place paulistanos love and pay extra for… I.e.: Cold brew R$ 20,00 Croissant R$ 14,00… etc

My favourite coffee shop in Brazil so far! Spacious, good coffee, very convenient to order (through a website), great for getting work done, and amazing food. I’ve had a long layover and had a lot of time to kill, so I had both breakfast and lunch here. Both were amazing, but especially the lunch (pic), it was incredible! Very tasty, fresh & good portions.

A large place with a lot of people using laptops & drinking coffee a good place to come in São Paulo if you want to work whilst enjoying a drink or some food. WiFi is available on the table without having to ask & you order on the app and it gets brought to your table. Chilled vibes in a good setting.

This is the kind of place that middle-upper class Paulistanos loves, something very hipster, resembling NY joints with its modern looks and open space, with some big waiting lines on weekends and the prices somehow above average, that kind of justifies by the quality of the ingredients, but, kind of. But despite all of that, I must say that the food is really good. I went for the brunch, so I cannot say about their dinner menu, but everything I've tried, I liked. all the ingredients are super fresh and organic, the bread is really outstanding, so try anything that comes with a bread along, and everything is very tasteful. I don't know how hard and expensive it is to maintain a supply chain with that quality, but the 13% rate (optional) is a bummer, since you're paying that rate for the staff and the prices are already above average, maybe it's the hype rate, but they could reconsider that for the future.

tl;dr: cool-looking, good food and coffee with healthy choices It's hard to expect to find what you find when you walk through the hallway to enter the place. It's very cool looking, industrial-ish with an open kitchen. You order by scanning a QR code which identifies your table and takes you to a site in which you place your orders (very helpful, with dish descriptions and pictures). Payment must still be made by going to the counter, but I assume this will change in the future. They have breakfast/brunch items, as well as more lunch-like dishes, which I didn't look at. I thought the food was very good, cooked and seasoned nicely. The avocado was especially tasty. Their coffee is also to my liking, strong. Service is made efficient and laid-back by their online system, without the usual overbearing service you might find in Brazil. I was very satisfied and wouldn't hesitate to come back and recommend the place.

great great great surprise! very good breakfast/brunch options, best avocado toast I’ve ever tried, super chill environment, efficient service, just love it! spend 2 hours there, definitely coming back. ps: parking is difficult but they provide vallet service

Event if we have to wait to get a table, it really worth it! The food is excellent, the service is warm that make you feel home, and the coffee is delicious. Talking about coffee Natália Braga who is the responsable for coffee there, was super nice and super pro when working! The coffee as espresso or filter is 👍🏻. They use different roast beans for any methods. And each coffee has its own recipe. Bravo!!! I had a very good time, every details in there make us feel special! Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I wanted to give 5 stars, however since the menu is wrong about the dietary restrictions…I simply can’t. If it wasn’t for me to DOUBLE question the waiter after seen the appearance of my dish was too similar with gluten, I would have had trouble. The service was pretty good (our waiter was Flavio). And the prices are higher than they should consider the food sizes and taste, in my opinion.

What used to be a lovely brasserie now seems a little sad. Stopped in tonight for a quick bite and although our waitress was great, the food was boring and took a long time to arrive. The beef was one-note and lacked any depth while the polenta was poorly seasoned. The brownie we had for dessert was made with cheap chocolate and was not so much a brownie as a piece of strange cake. The food has serious problems and the chef doesn’t seem to have an understand of balance and/or contrast. Then, as we left, the sliding glass front doors were closed and although the doorman stood on the other side of them, he didn’t so much as look up from his phone as we pried the doors open ourselves to get out. He couldn’t even make an effort to say goodnight as we passed him. He just stared at his phone. A rude ending to a mediocre meal.

Fantastic location and a beautiful relaxing place. The staff is great with the best hospitality attitude and a really good menu for both food and drinks. The cocktails are amazing.

A very nice place with a great atmosphere, friendly service and good food. Thanks to Eduardo, an excellent and professional server.

Incredible experience of this restaurant/Cafe. We got there because we really wanted to have a good coffee and when we saw that we may have coffee tasting, it was not even a doubt we are going to get this order. According that, from 4 different espresso I liked only 1, others were very sour for my own taste. But it's okay, I'm not gonna grade low my opinion because of that. For food I really enjoyed burger. It was exactly the one I like. Good combination of bun, meat and veggies. I'm not a big fan of fries tho, so telling you that I didn't like them would be a bit unfair, yet I can see that they didn't really have any taste. Our waiter was very very friendly. He dropped first portion of fries on me, but it was more funny than a pity. He apologized many times. Not a big deal tho. What I just want to say, that staff is very very pleasant. My opinion is, that it is a very good place and I'd recommend it to others.

Really good coffee. And I am a picky coffee drinker. But I would say it was the best coffee I had in 6 weeks traveling around Brazil. The food was delicious as well. Only the egg Benedict sauce was a bit disappointing. But really nice place to have breakfast.

Friendly server and I was grateful he spoke English too. They have menus in English if you ask. The ambience is cute, the coffee selection is creative, they have blankets when it gets cold and free wifi. Not mention the appetizer are reasonably priced and delicious. I will be back!

Very chill and hipster, cool place! Came here on a Monday morning. Great vibes here. Got the latte, banana bread and a cookie and all were super good. Top! Kind and fast service. Really loved the coffee.

Incredible coffee and pastries. Became a quick favourite while on vacay in São Paulo

Super enjoyed this place! We came in passing while waiting for our dinner reservation, and it was absolutely perfect. Very well made cappuccino, and so many other nice drink options! Alcohol or non-alcohol. My friend also got a calming tea - made with chamomile, passion fruit, honey and orange. Also delicious! Other great thing about this place is the vibes. The servers were very kind, open and welcoming. Great environment to relax and feel welcome with your drink ☺️ Hope to be able to return here someday! #ppd #porumpunhadodolares #cafe #coffee #brazil #goodvibes

Friendly staff and good coffee. One of the few places with wifi. A bit crowded though

I had the best coffee here in São Paulo. Great and claim ambience in the cafe with simple modern industrial style. They also sell local roasted coffee beans. Wifi available.

Really cool atmosphere plus good cakes and coffee. My guess is most people come to drink the coffees with brandy and other spirits. It's hard to park nearby and during the day it's recommended to Uber or even a walk is fine.

Excellent coffee, all varieties from Brazil and easy on the tongue! Location is set back a bit from the street, so you may walk by it a time or two, but definitely worth the stop.

Our favourite café in São Paulo, the best cortado (like a flat white) with strong blends of coffee flavours and creamy milk. Great café food, freshly prepared, and excellent service by Pedro, Bruno and Rhayka

The best place for breakfast! It is very crowdy in the morning, but the queue is moving fast. Very delicious food, I liked that menu changes regularly. People that wort here are very friendly and nice. I like that they know English.

Place with a very nice structure and good food menu, their proposal is quite nice. Still I didn’t like somethings about it: it took half an hour to serve what was ordered - simple things as an espresso, cheese roll and toast. They don’t say they’re slow food, so I guess it’s matter of slow service. Because of that, my espresso arrived only warn. To see if it’s like that I asked a second time for news things, already ready and exposed, and it took 10’ to arrive. The quality of food is great, though.

Nice coffee, good café for working or for students. The tuna (atum) dish was tasteless 👇

Excellent latte and superb banana bread! No Wi-Fi and not much seating (including two tables with signs asking you to not use your laptop), so if you’re looking for a place to sprawl out and work for a few hours, this probably isn’t it. But if you want quick service and excellent coffee, I’d highly recommend it.

Small but cozy. Good prices compared to Milan, Italy. A large slice of lemon cake and a (small) cappuccino R$ 17 (€ 3.73). As an Italian I can say that the cappuccino was quite good. They speak English.

Love this little cafe! Great coffee and simple menu of fresh pastries / breads of the day. Some heavier lunch options too, if you’re looking for something more substantial. WiFi and places where it’s okay to work from your laptop too!

I loveed this coffee restaurant. Many options to choose something to eat. The coffee ☕ opens very early, this is something great. The atmosphere is pleasant. Something one that bothers me that the waiters don't speak English.

Their call is nice, but still there is a way to go. Food was good, but it took too long to arrive (and it isn’t a slow food place). Drinks as well took too long to arrive, and we saw them waiting after the kitchen finished them: thus they arrived only warm and not hot. Prices are fair. Another hint would be redesigning the menu, because theirs is fairly confusing. Sure the place will improve through time.

What a hidden gem! The name may be odd but the food is delicious and fresh and the indoor-outdoor seating plentiful.

Freak Cafe, putting aside the awkward name, is a gem of a spot. It's packed on the weekends so keep that in mind, but you will be hard pressed to find a better eggs benedict on the street. Similarly, the coffee game here exceeds almost anything else in the area.

Latte was good, and there are plenty of healthy options to choose from. Tried tapioca and fruit salad.

Beautiful live Jazz music on a sunny and warm Saturday. Stopped by to have a coffee and waited 20min only to be told that they didn’t have any ice! A supermarket is literally only 50m away. At least the music was nice.

I had a brunch with a friend, i ate few things and drunk a nice latte :)

This is a cool quirky cafe & bar sitting above a traffic tunnel. It has nice drinks, good wifi, relaxed atmosphere, and tidy restrooms. Nice central location being near Paulista, but without masses of people. Mostly people catching up, but also some people working on laptops here.

A cool cafe that feels unique to São Paulo. The building, which overhangs an expressway, is super smart and offers an unexpected view – and the filter, cappuccino, and cold brew coffees are good.

Cool place, but it could have more eating options in the menu. The Cookie is great!

Place is okay. Could do a lot better regarding the service, though. My order took a little too long for a place that wasn't crowded or anything and the barista was a bit rude to me for no good reason. Not on purpose I guess. She just had that impolite, informal attitude which is okay if you're talking to someone you know, but not at all when you're talking to your client.

This is my second time here but it seems it’s changed a bit. They serve what appears to be a more commercialized coffee- but it’s still very good. In a beautiful setting with nice food as well.

Ordered a coffee and cake and after 30min went to complain about the delay. The barista forgot my order and got my food after 45min. Guess, had a bad luck! Disappointing!

Original spot, great coffee. Uber-cool.

It was lovely. Contrary to what some reviews mentioned, the food arrived very quickly—almost a little too fast for us. Otherwise, the staff were super friendly, and it was a great experience overall.

This was the place every person told us to come and eat at. We had a lunch here and the food was good. Not sure I would say it’s the best in town, but definitely up there.

Came to D.O.M while on holiday with my husband to try their executive lunch and had a really good experience. Usually with fine dining restaurants, you end up not having enough food, but not at this restaurant! Portions were big and very tasty. Best farofa I've ever had. Thank you so much for the great experience.

One of the most famous restaurants in brasil under the supervision of Chef Alex Atala. Ever since seeing him on "Chef's table" on Netflix it was a dream of mine to eat there once. The food was absolulety delicious and special and the 12 course menu was really worth it's price. Service was great and we had a lovely evening. Be aware that the full course menu takes some time, we were there for about 3 to 4 hours.

I went to DOM with my expectations very high as it is one of the few 2 Michelin Stars in Brazil. Couldn’t have left happier! 😍 We experienced the Menu Sertão, celebrating the 25 years of Alex Atala’s restaurant and it was absolutely amazing! Each dish was representing beautifully the Northeast and Northwest of Brazil in a cohesive way. All the plates were well presented and the flavours were very balanced. Absolutely delicious! The staff were very pleasant, caring and explained each dish and drink served. I ordered one of the signature cocktails with coconut crisps on the top and it was the best cocktail I had in Brazil. The structure of the restaurant is mix of rustic and classic , but very harmonious. The atmosphere was pleasant, made for you to have a good meal while chatting with your family and friends. There was a nice Brazilian music in the background. I couldn’t recommend this restaurant enough, it is totally worthy the price we paid.

The tasting menu was amazing. The service, the timing between courses, the waiters' suggestions for drinks, the food and creativity was very top. The essence of Brazil in this gastronomy experience blew my mind.

By far the greatest dining experience I’ve ever had. There are meals you simply eat, and then there are meals that take you somewhere someplace primal, elegant, a little mysterious and leave you different than when you sat down. D.O.M. in São Paulo is that kind of place. The kind of restaurant that doesn’t just serve food, but orchestrates an experience with the precision of a cult and the soul of a poet. From the first moment, you know you’re in for something rare. They don’t just swap plates between courses; they change the entire tablecloth. New textures. New colors. New moods. Every course begins with a small transformation of the world in front of you. No explanation, no ceremony just quiet mastery. I had the 10-course tasting menu, and each dish felt like a story told in a language you don’t fully speak but somehow understand. Caviar served on chilled stones beautiful, stark, almost ritualistic. Warms you up like a secret handshake. Then the broths: clear, delicate, layered in ways that make you shut up and pay attention. Greens perched in a pool of shimmering liquid, like something foraged at dawn in a place humans aren’t meant to go. Other plates looked like living art, geometric, precise, shimmering under soft light. One dish arrived covered entirely in glossy bubbles, like a creature resting on the plate. Another paired immaculate fish with a broth so clean it felt like a confession. Then came the meat course: lacquered, tender, arrogant in its perfection. Slow, deep flavors that hit you like truth. It’s the kind of dish that makes you put the fork down afterward and wonder how anything else in your life will measure up. The pacing, the silence, the choreography of the staff, every detail was handled with a kind of reverence. This isn’t hospitality. It’s devotion. And São Paulo — this frenetic, beautiful beast of a city — melts away when you’re at D.O.M. Inside, the world shrinks down to a steady heartbeat. You taste more clearly. You listen more closely. You remember why people travel for food in the first place. D.O.M. isn’t just the best meal I’ve had in Brazil. It’s the best dining experience I’ve had, period New York, Tokyo, Paris, all of it. This one stands alone.

We had a lovely dinner at Fogo de Chão in São Paulo. Our reservation was honored promptly, and we were welcomed with smiles and courteous service from the team. The space itself was warm and inviting, setting the tone for a memorable meal. We started with a few refreshing caipirinhas, then made our way to the buffet—which was excellent. Crisp salads, smoked salmon, cheeses, fresh fruits, and even a smoked pork belly station made for a strong start. Once we flipped our coasters to green, the feast began. The various cuts of beef were superb—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. I skipped the poultry and sausages to save room for the star of the show: the beef, which did not disappoint. We ended the meal by sharing a classic crème brûlée—smooth, rich, and perfectly caramelized on top. I’ve also dined at their Miami location, and São Paulo held its own—both in flavor and hospitality. A must-visit for meat lovers exploring Brazil. Documented by Postcards and Coordinates (on Instagram).

Decided to try this based off another review from R B as in the review section. Yes, the recommend caipirinha is a passion fruit one and it's definitely so good, was worried about reports from the hotel that said I need to avoid alcohol as there is a trend to spike it, so didn't want to but the establishment looks proper and I don't think they would tolerate such things here. Had the BBQ buffet... Amazing, I love the fact that I had NO clue what the neat that was being served by the servers as they all spoke Portuguese, but I tell you what, I didn't turn anything away, I think I missed the fillet mignon, the sirloin guy kept coming back, my favourite is the chicken hearts, I know gross but they are so good... The server's are reasonably attentive, had the desert, but the milk cake in India was 💯 more tasty, dear chef, more egg whites will make that cake light and then it will be heavenly, it's tooo heavy the way you made it, try that and drop me a response saying that I was right.. hehe Thanks guys, definitely cool place, I was allowed in wearing shorts and a tee shirt, I appreciate that they are not sticky on that, I'm relaxed and wanna have a relaxing meal, not a stuck up meal... Especially when the star ⭐ is the BBQ meats... Lamb, pork ribs too salty for my taste, maybe it's the way it's done in Brazil... No wonder you have one of the highest ratings on Google maps, you still deserve those stars and ratings it's not slipped in any way...

All good. Except the food. The bar salad was stinky, as if some food was spoiled food. The meat was never cooked to perfection. It was either too burnt or too raw. You know it's not a good place when the food makes you sick. I had to take baking soda afterward to get better. On top of that, was really expensive. And they were charging an extra soda (which by the way I ordered coke first and they just brought me whatever they wanted)

A very fancy place to go and try Brazilian Churrascaría. The service was not so good, the buffet could have more things comparing with the price. You can order just a dish or the full experience But was a good experience

Food was delicious. Jefio offered very prompt service. The candied bacon was delicious. Best thing on the menu.

This is one of the best bbq restaurants (churrascaria) at the center of São Paulo that is not with menu, but you are served various local cuts of meat, as much as you can eat, including a wide variety of salads and sides dishes on a central buffet. This type of restaurants called “Rodizio” and it’s a paradise for meat lovers! This particular rodizio is very elegant compared with others, and the service is very good. A special “thanks” to our garçon named “John Lenon” (it was really his given name!) for his polite and fast service and Jociano too. Drinks are charged extra but you must definitely enjoy some caiprinhas (I suggest with Caju, my favourite). Enjoy!

Fogo de Chão is a well-known Brazilian steakhouse chain (churrascaria) that originated in southern Brazil and now has locations throughout the country and internationally. It’s a popular choice for those wanting to experience traditional rodízio-style dining, where servers circulate continuously with a variety of grilled meats, serving you tableside until you say stop. We came here specifically to try the full Brazilian churrasco experience. We ordered the Full Experience set, which included an impressive lineup: Filet Mignon, Flank Steak, Beef Ribs, Sirloin, Chuck, Premium Ribs, Skirt Steak, Chorizo Steak, Ribeye, Lamb Chops, Lamb Shoulder, Pork Ribs, Sausage Platter (spicy, regular, and morcilla), Grilled Chicken, Chicken Hearts, and Picanha served alongside a Salad Bar and Feijoada. It looks like a lot—and it is—but it’s all unlimited, served until you flip your table coaster from green (go) to red (stop). However, during our visit, the meat service was a bit slow—likely due to a busy evening—and we found that many of the meats lacked strong marination or seasoning. While the variety is impressive, the overall flavor could be more robust. The salad bar is fresh and well-stocked, offering cheeses, cured meats, vegetables, and traditional Brazilian sides. The Feijoada (black bean and pork stew) was a nice addition. One thing we missed was the option of seafood—it would’ve been great to see that included as well. Although it’s part of a chain, the restaurant maintains an upscale yet approachable atmosphere. The meat quality is decent, and the concept is fun, especially for first-timers looking to explore Brazilian churrasco culture.

Been here since 2011… has already changed address but just for few steps closer to Av. Liberdade to its own building with several floors and private rooms for at least for 1.000 bill waste in… the fried squid and shrimp 🍤 are my best choice but vieiras and sweet and sour pork meat and Chinese yakisoba always comes along … nowadays you can find Brazilians in the staff but the bill always in Chinese. Just accept cash 💰

Been here in Brazil for more than 2 weeks now and of course I craved for Chinese food. This resto just hit the spot for my fave dishes. 10/10 enjoyed it and the serving is huge!

Absolutely loved it!! Who would’ve know that you could find this good Chinese food in São Paulo! I definitely recommend that you take a break from Brazilian food and come here.

YOU CAN'T PAY WITH CREDIT OR DEBIT CARDS, BRING CASH (they also take checks)!! This is a good restaurant with a very ornate, plush decor and efficient if somewhat brusque staff. They serve your food onto a Lazy Susan in the center of the table, but be forewarned you may be seated at a table with strangers, so you might want to try somewhere else if you're not in the mood for making friends. The menu is pretty extensive and the food was great.

Great tasty chinese restaurant with good prices. Weekends are always busy. My favorites are the steamed oysters on the picture but the blue crabs are also delicious.

Crazy good chinesefood! Very traditional and fresh seafood

Good food but the review is made with a full experience and in this subject the customer service in Chi Fu is the worst I have experienced in my life, the stars are for the food only.

Great coffee, they allow you to work upstairs and the service is awesome! 10/10

Amazing Coffee Place - Temperature came perfect, very well served, snacks and cakes insanely good, distinct and casual ambience! Fast and well located! Totally recommended!

Great spot. Good food, nice service, and good location if you're wandering north of Paraíso. We paired breakfast/brunch here with a day at the Museum of Art and Trianon Park nearby. BUt you could just simply enjoy a morning/afternoon here. Highly Recommend.

Nice environment. Friendly staff. The menu has some interesting options like Jackfruit snacks and different combinations of tea and sandwiches with many vegan choices. The place is a bit noisy but still, very pleasant. Recommended!

tea was really goo and the coffee is good, not great

A really good café in the crowd party area of São Paulo. There are many many options of foods, like soup, complete meal (lunch and dinner), snacks, juices and coffee. The service is great, the waiters pay attention on clients and you don't need to wait for your order. The price is ok, expansive but worth it.

Really beautiful coffee shop with quality coffee. I really enjoyed my Irish coffee here, as well as the cappuccino my girlfriend got. Both were delicious. Love the atmosphere in here. There’s a loft area upstairs with seating, where you can overlook the entirety of the shop. The place is very urban and full of plants, giving a beautiful, green and natural vibe to it all. Prices were reasonable to me, at least as far as drinks go. Would definitely return here to enjoy again! #urbe #urbecafebar #café #coffee #sãopaulo #sampa

What a great place! Great service in English (what we didn't have that much during our trip in Brazil), nice atmosphere and awesom breakfast! We can highly recommend it!

Best breakfast/brunch food we had in Sao Paolo. The place is really nice and cosy and the food is amazing! Lots of healthy options, great service (although they don't speak English). Not cheap, but totally worths the visit.

Not enough good things to say about Marcello’s hospitality and attention. He made sure that I felt comfortable and that I got the true Brazilian coffee shop experience. His suggestions were on point and the food and coffee was delicious! Highly recommend it!

Food is very good but brunch is overpriced. Service is not fast so save expect waiting for you food. Also the extra portion of Nutella sauce is too small for the pancakes.

If you are not into coffee, you'll still like this place. Great food, nice service. But if coffee is your thing, this is a must-visit.

The food was espectacular, different and very well done. It's easy to see the dedication. But the cost benefit is not so good. So if you want to test new food this is the place but it is very hard to have a complete meal with a good price.

Inviting and very friendly breakfast spot with really good Italian Coffee and Food!

I ordered the traditional acarajé no prato, and it was really tasty. However, the music was a bit too loud, making it difficult to have a conversation at the table.

The best acaraje in town. The price has been increased but still reasonable for São Paulo

Not only the food is fantastic, the energy of the place and the people are special. Must go.

Food is very good. The server is very friendly and patient. The portion is more like snack size. The acarajé takes a little more time to arrive. Will be back soon

Probably the best place to get Acarajé in São Paulo. Good price and service. Cons, you have to eat out in the street and the owner often skip work, in the good Bahia state tradition.

Streetside Acarajé and drinks

Very cute place, the best coffee I had I think, great pastry and lovely staff

The Café Floresta is a small traditional Italian coffee shop, with authentic tasty Italian coffee. The Café is located in the famous Edificio Copan, one of the highest buildings in Brazil and built in a special wave format. Only downside of the Café Floresta is, this place has no seating area, but this is often the case in small Italian cafés. So you have to stand while you enjoy your Italian coffee and your pastry. But this small Italian café is still very atmospheric, due to its nice wall paintings reminding of Brazil’s past strongly associated with coffee, one of the main commodities of Brazil. The pastries and tarts look nice here at Café Floresta and the one I had was a delicious Pastel with a tasty cream filling and a walnut on top of it. From Sao Paulo with Love! Dr. Dr. Immanuel Fruhmann

Some things are so good, they are in no need of change. This is excellent Italian coffee with the classic Italian experience.

It’s a place full of history. Stoped in time since they opened many years ago. Rounded espresso. with cinnamon powder is a most. They have some options to eat, and coffee in grains to prepare your own coffee at home. But beyond all historic context, have no seats, don’t accept ANY card payment only cash and they don’t improved the service for better, for not just preserving, but maximising the experience of what was the old downtown.

One of the most famous cafes in the world, it's perfect. Unspoiled. Enjoy!

I miss this place so much I went almost every day for an esspreso and a slice of the beautiful homemade cakes it was simply the perfect way to spend 30 minutes

Simple traditional coffee place. If you are a coffee lover, it is a must try place in SP :)

Cupping Café is a fantastic spot for coffee lovers looking to explore different brewing methods and a variety of coffee beans. During my visit, I tried a fruitier coffee, which was enjoyable but left me hoping for a bit more brightness. I’m definitely planning to return and explore other options from their extensive menu. Beyond coffee, what really stood out was their impressive selection of food — both sweet and savory. The highlight for me was the surprising number of vegan options, ranging from croissants to pão de queijo.

A non-pretentious healthy food place with laid back staff and atmosphere. They have outlets so you can do your work here. I loved the banana bread and they were generous about the cream cheese on my bagel and lox.

Plenty of space for 2 kids with stroller. Outside and indoor seating. One of the best quality coffees in Brazil. Great for coffee nerds.

So far, this is my favorite cafe shop in SP! I will come often!

This cafe is especially great if you’re looking for a place to sit for a while and get some work done. They have WiFi and lots of work stations with outlets. The cold brew c/ leite was great! Next time I’ll try some of the baked goods, they looked amazing. They also have homemade nut milk for those who prefer leite vegetal to dairy.

The place is very nice. Good vegan options and 2 gluten free options. Stenley was a great waiter and accommodated very well to our 10 people group.

Friendly staff. A nice place for me to spend some time with my bags.

This place is disgustingly dirty. I don't understand how people rave about it. The place was quite empty and we were the only people being served, yet it took 15 minutes to make 2 smoothies. The last time the men's bathroom was checked by a cleaner was a week ago. The food and smoothie was good, but I was seriously concerned that I would catch a disease because the shop (and the kitchen) was so dirty. I came to edit my review, because it needs to be said that this has been pointed out for weeks now and management keep saying they are working on it (the place was a lot filthier today than photos from a week ago!!), but they clearly haven't done anything to improve. The first thing you could do is to employ a cleaner! It's not rocket science. Avoid avoid avoid!!!

Very poor experience. Doesn't worth the money and the time spent there. Very filthy place... lots of flies and really nothing speciall food. Maybe it was something special but not anymore. Dirty wall and floor, waste bin open inside the kitchen, lots of cracked wall. For the money they charge it should be a much better and high quality place.

Excellent coffee spot in the heart of Liberdade - we tried the house special cheesy garlic bread, which is what they’re famous for. Really really good - they add a sweet cream cheese so you get a nice sweet and savory flavor profile. I also noticed they had salted cheese foam tea - good to see this expanding from Asia to Brazil, makes total sense for it to appear in Liberdade

We are foreigners, but as soon as we saw the place we were in love with everything. The food was amazing, the service was even better, and it was the cutest place we have ever gone gone to.

must be famous because of a long queue to enter to sit in. we took away to walk around. really amazing taste!! I enjoyed mine & my cousins drink. definitely will recommend for people who loves sweets

I visited for the Star Rail X WeCoffee collab. Really lovely, amazing brownie shake shakes but the Blueberry pastrie rolls could use more flavor on the filling (but the pastrie itself was delicious)

The waiting line is excessive and not worth it, but the drinks and food are really good and pretty

Tasty beef made with perfect cooking level. Also good portion. And plus they open on Sundays

Part of a chain of Peruvian restaurants in São Paulo. I'm a big fan of the food in these restaurants. The ceviche and chaufa are both very tasty. One portion of the latter is also easily enough food for two people. The ceviche serving sizes are a lot smaller. Prices are fair. Chaufas cost between R$35-50 and ceviches R$45-70, based on "individual" serving sizes. Desserts are also affordable at around R$15-20. I recall having wine in the restaurant in Jardins, but not available in this one. They did have a lemonade that was tasty and only cost R$22 for a liter. Service is variable and can be slow when the restaurant is busy. This isn't the place to go for a refined service experience, the quality of the food and the reasonable prices more than make up for the service.

Very tasteful peruvian food! Loved the Lemonade and my absolute favourite was the tres leches!! Still dreaming about that dessert haha! I went there once and ordered twice while staying in São Paulo. Will definitely come again.

Food was ok, but a bit blend. Not sure why websites and guides talk about this place. It is nothing special. Not bad either, but over hyped.

Amazing food and a great location in the centre of Sao Paulo, great portion sizes and very genuine Peruvian food. The best cerviche I've ever Eaten highly recommended.

Serious Peruvian food. I was transported to Lima. Best ceviche I've had outside of Peru. Love the maracuya sour and pisco sour.

Very Nice Peruvian restaurant! I went there for a birthday and farewell party with a very large group and they were able to accommodate everyone. The food is very beautiful. I wanted to taste everything! The dishes are huge. I ordered one chaufa and I had to ask them to wrap it for me to bring it home, and afterwards I was able to eat twice. They also have chicha morada - the black corn juice! I would recommend it for anyone looking for a high quality and different meal!

great place, amazing food! traditional flavours, very cozy inside. we tried the baiao de dois, but next time it will be the feijoada

Nice food in a trendy spot in Pinheiros, São Paulo. Bar do Biu has that vibe of popular bar/restaurant serving traditional popular Brazilian dishes, such as feijoada, rabada and galinhada. The portions are very well served, and quite tasty as well! I love the fact that they preserved the architecture of the house when conceiving the venue, for it helps maintain that 1940/1950 vibe of São Paulo. Finally, staff is super friendly, and food comes out quickly.

Local home cooked “feijioda” and other typical Brazilian meals. It gets busy on Saturday around lunch time (2-3 PM). Expect to wait long time if you have a large group(>4 pp).Pic below is the feijioda simples. Will do for 1-2 pp.

A friend of ours who lives near SP recommended this place. Highlight of the menu was Baiao. It was something new to me and since I've had Feijoada in many places we opted to try it out with dry meat (a moda). Additionally to the staff recommended to get a hump meat (cupim) as well. We are not Portuguese speakers and the staff were very kind working with us using Google translate. In addition, they even gave us an appetizer on the house. Food : amazing. Just that. It's very simple food but making it would have taken quite some time. Very homey. Staff : as I've mentioned they worked with us using Google translate. One thing to note is that we went during earlier hours when they were a bit less busy. Wait time : we didn't have to wait because we went fairly early. Overall : it's a great experience and hopefully I'll get to try other items on the menu again!

Great Brazilian food. If you want to eat like a local, go there. The place is famous for its baião de dois.

Amazing variety of food and drinks. We had carne de sol and cozinhas. 100% authentic.

Incredibly satisfied with the traditional feijoada I ordered for delivery. Generous portions and rich in flavour. I would like to dine in next time.

What a gem of a spot! ‘Cozy’ vibe, quick and friendly service, and some seriously good coffee to kick things off. I had the duck dish – the sauce was a little heavy for my taste, but the duck itself? Perfectly cooked and tender. Portions were just right for a lunch/brunch vibe – left satisfied but not in a food coma (always a win). Overall, really enjoyed it and will definitely be back to explore more of the small menu.

The café has a pleasant atmosphere, and the coffee is good. However, the food didn’t quite stand out, especially considering the price.

Incredible coffee, vibe was immaculate, and definitely the most technically adept baristas in the city. Proud to have this in São Paulo and definitely a must-go for anyone that appreciates cold brew and aromatic coffee blends.

Really good coffee (very smooth flat white)! Nice ambiance and staff also.

Great place for coffee, drinks, snacks or a meal. Fun for kids also. Lots of flavor and interesting eats.

Kinda cringe, very mid. For the crazy amount of peacocking with the equivalent and methods and high prices, the coffee is only okay. Ugly looking environment with the faux brutalism. I hadn’t had the food.

It was my second time there. Service is good and I thought the same about the food (*spoil* alert - I was wrong). When I got there I was totally fine, but when I got home after dinner, less than 1h later I started having this awful stomachache- stronger than anything I’ve had before, had to go to the ER because of the pain +🤮. After several exams that ruled out other stuff (like appendicitis etc), the most likely cause: spoiled food. I suspect it was the cupim sando (rump steak bao). Quite disappointing

Oh yes. Brazilian, freshly roasted. The coffee that should greet you at the gates of heaven. Staff are just straight up lovely and friendly. Need coffee? in Sao Paulo? This is the place...

Speciality coffee shop with a selection of interesting beans to try. These guys are serious about coffee, and they were friendly and helpful. The pastries were excellent too

Lovely iced latte and cafe decor is impeccable. A little oasis in the thick of Avenida paulista area.

Lovely cafe in Sao Paulo, great casual atmosphere, on point coffee brewing. The staff is really friendly and always willing to take the time to explain about the coffee beans and the brewing process. Arguably the best coffee you can get when in Sao Paulo!! I love their espresso and the Gina filtered coffee (in the picture). Also, definitely worth trying their cookies and the selection of homemade treats, they are delicious!

On top of being home to one of the most delicious flat whites in the world - this cafe and its staff actively demonstrate compassion for their local community. Keep it up, that was heartwarming to witness. ♥️

Nice spot for Euro style cappuccino… no chocolate sprinkles.

Great coffee in Sampa. Awesome flat white. Their vegan brigadeiro is a master piece. Definitely recommend!

Good coffee, strong Wi-Fi and comfy seating. They are listed as opening at 8:30 but we couldn't get in until 8:40 and then it was fairly hot inside with no ceiling fans and no AC on this day..

We came in 8:50 and told the waiter that we have to leave in 9:30 because we need to take a bus. She told us the food will be ready in 20 minutes and even less. We order a cookie and we got it only in 9:35!! We told them what’s going on before and they told us 5 minutes and only 2 minutes but the food itself only arrived in 9:40, with us telling them to do it on take away. we almost missed our bus because of it. And after all, when I came to pay, she added service without asking!

Pretty good but pricey. Got charged 50$ BRL in cash for the acai bowl.

Great coffee and service. One of the best coffee places in Pinheiro.

Really loved that little break with a great matcha tea (oatmilk) and an amazing cinnamon role.

very good pour over selection here with friendly service. the seafood restaurant next door looks great too

I love the setup and friendly service! But i feel like the portion sizes don't match the price...

Great experience! Really nice coffee and amazing staff! Pet friendly, super organized and clean. Good food !

The best brazilian coffee i've had in a long time. Well selected coffee beans, differen manners of making it. A must stop in sao Paulo, have some coffee.

Best espresso in the whole neighborhood !

Amazing coffee

(Translated by Google) Awesome coffee shop! Full of funny Easter eggs, really nice people, crazy and delicious coffees like Cachacinha and really good food, Catarina Coffee and Love definitely has my heart. I love the atmosphere: outdoors, very open and nice. The baristas are really nice, kind and it's a pleasure to spend time talking about coffee or anything else with these guys. Last but not least, the food is really good, I love the toast and the corn muffin, but what really shines here is the coffee! The Espresso 109, Diego, Noel and all the beans here are really good and roasted with mastery. Plus, the menu is quite seasonal and be sure to ask about the secret menu. I love this place and highly recommend it. (Original) Cafeteria sensacional! Cheia de eastereggs bem humorados, de gente muito legal, de cafés malucos e deliciosos como o Cachacinha e de comidinhas muito boas, o Catarina Coffee and Love definitivamente tem meu coração. Eu adoro o ambiente: ao ar livre, bem aberto e gostoso. Os(as) baristas são muito legais, gentis e é um prazer passar um tempo conversando sobre café ou qualquer outra coisa com essa galera. Por último, mas não menos importante, as comidinhas são muito boas, adoro a torrada e amo o bolinho de milho, mas o que mais brilha aqui são os cafés! O Espresso 109, o Diego, o Noel e todos os grãos daqui são muito bons e torrados com maestria. Além disso, o cardápio é bastante sazonal e não deixe de perguntar do menu secreto. Amo esse lugar e recomendo muito fortemente.

(Translated by Google) Picturesque! Starting with the location and amenities. Next door, there's a small plaza where beach chairs are set up for customers. Despite the selection of international beans (unprecedented in coffee shops), I chose a Brazilian filter coffee to try (planning on buying the beans to take home later). And also a hand-brewed espresso. I really liked the filter coffee, but the espresso wasn't to my liking (an earthy aftertaste that I don't like). (Original) Pitoresco! A começar pela localização e estrutura. Ao lado existe uma mini praça onde são colocadas cadeiras de praia para os clientes. Apesar da seleção de grãos do mundo ( inédito em cafeterias ) escolhi um coado nacional para degustar ( pensando em comprar os grãos para levar depois ) E também um espresso manual. Gostei muuuito do coado mas o espresso não me agradou ( um retrogosto terroso que não me agrada )

(Translated by Google) Delicious coffee and wonderful people 💛✨ There's no better recommendation for a weekend visit! (Original) Cafés gostosos e pessoas maravilhosas 💛✨ Não tem recomendação melhor para visitar aos fins de semana!

Great food and service! A little expensive, but totally worth it!

Excellent food

Incredible foods and drinks

(Translated by Google) Simple restaurant with good food. I recommend ordering the Coconut Lemonade. It's very good! (Original) Restaurante simples e com boa comida. Recomendo pedir a Limonada de Coco. É muito boa!

(Translated by Google) The cheese and meat arepas and the pork belly arepas with guacamole are a must. Also try the potato chips and fried bananas. The lemonade with brown sugar is great and refreshing. (Original) Arepas de queijo com carne e de barriga de porco com guacamole são imperdíveis. Prove também a porção de chips de batatas e bananas fritas. A limonada com rapadura é ótima e refrescante.

(Translated by Google) Good Colombian food. The taste is very similar to the dishes from the country. (Original) Boa comida colombiana. No gosto, lembra bastante os pratos do país.

(Translated by Google) I went to Botanikafé in Pinheiros twice and it's already my favorite place in SP. The place is very spacious and well ventilated. The decor is beautiful, the food is very well prepared by chef Leticia who is amazing!! I had a wonderful toast with mushrooms and goat's milk cream cheese! The lemon balm juice and Melonade are divine!! The service is also spectacular!! I only have praise for Lucas and Júlia!!! Oh and it's also pet friendly and we met Rufus who is a beautiful dog who is always there!! I loved!! I will always come back!! (Original) Fui 2 vezes no Botanikafé em Pinheiros e já é meu lugar favorito em SP. O lugar é muito espaçoso e bem ventilado.

O suco de erva cidreira e o Melonade são divinos!! O atendimento tb é espetacular!! Só tenho elogios para o Lucas e a Júlia!!!

Food was good, but not the best I had. Lovely atmosphere and great views, a really romantic place to spend an evening at. Great service too, apart from a server taking away my unfinished cocktail without asking 🤷‍♀️to add, we went to the bar afterwards and the service went down significantly, no one took our order, no server once looked at our table, we asked one server if he could take a photo of us and he couldn't find 5 seconds to do so... Completely opposite service than in the restaurant. The entertainment were great in both. Piano playing and singing in the bar.

I like to start by saying that I went to my girlfriend and engagement ring , It was special occasion. Have to Thank the Maitre di , he maid the ring presentation unforgettable, It was a moment to remember.. The main waiter I was not too happy, Never came to the table to ask how’s your food Or anything else that you would like. My fiancé ordered the fish and unfortunately, she was throwing up the whole night and did not settle well with her and very dehydrated. We had to take her to hospital nex Day. I had a number one plate steak filet mignon with the black mushrooms, which you only get three and the sauce on the steak I would say it was just a marsala sauce on it. I travel over Europe and I know exactly what I’m eating, especially at a high-end restaurant like this. I never didn’t want to complain to the waiter. The rice that had no taste.. Main reason, I was very happy with the attention they gave to the ring presentation, I just didn’t know we were going to be in the hospital the next day with dehydration from throwing up From the fish that she ate. Been trying to call the Restaurant to fill them in with what happened and I haven’t been able to get in touch. $20 charges for the piano playing. I like to see what they would say.

Not Impressed with the food or atmosphere. We asked for a window seat and didn’t get one instead we get sat next children 🤦‍♂️. You can get much more for your money in Sp elsewhere. Trust me.

Only went to the bar. Excellent Old Fashioned. Great view over Saõ Paulo.

Likely the most refined space in São Paulo. Food is perfect! Changes for dietary restrictions perfect! A waiter is responsible for all orders and follow-ups. It was my daughter's birthday and the panoramic view was stunning! We loved folks properly dressed for that space.

The best romantic restaurant in Sao Paulo. By far

We heeded advice from friends and arrived 30 min before they opened for lunch. Everything we had was delicious and of course we had to get the dadinhos and mandioca chips. I had the suco do dia which was graviola and it was excellent.

Highly reviewed location. Terrenos were better than other locations. Dobradinha was excellent. Flavor is when you want to lick the plate. But they give you a nice toasty bread. Darn!!! Carne de sol was nicely cooked. Caipirinha was ok. Maybe weak. Staff very friendly.

I went to this restaurant the first time probably 25 years ago! The food is still amazing and it was a lovely surprise to see Rodrigo, the chef, the owner, there! I even bought a book about the history of the restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant and try to arrive early because it can get really busy!

The food was ok. After i was seated several server saw me seating waiting and none of them approached me. After 15 minutes waiting for someone to come to the table i had to get up and complain to the hostess for someone to finally come to the table

An authentic Northeastern Brazilian experience. The house caldo is rich, gelatinous and delicious; the mandioca was soft and buttery and all the pesticos were on point. Wished we could fit dessert but we were happily full of food.

Imagine a restaurant based it food and service focused on a region. This is Mocotó! You won't regret the visit. Very polited and informed staff, even when you arrive minutes to close be sure you will be well served. Don't let to try the pork chip. One of the best entries. In our last visit I Ordered a Rabada. Was wonderful. I strong recommend this place.

This restaurant serves delicious Brazilian food, service was great. We ordered carne de sol, baiao de dois and escondidinho everything was delicious, served two people. Location is a little bit far from tourist places but worth going all the way to this place, make a reservation to avoid line, we had to wait for 45min because we didn’t had a reservation, there’s place to sit while waiting and order drinks or appetizers.

Good menu of options and excellent service. Unfortunately I've had better Italian in São Paulo and compared to them this is just good. Please let me be clear, this mark isn't one to take as bad. I'll be back, it just that it is average.

What a fantastic Italian restaurant! We loved the octopus and the pastas were delicious and fresh. The service was impeccable. We had great red wine too. The ambience is very romantic.

It is expensive ~ R$70 or more for a dish. Some dishes have really good flavors, such as the raviolis. The restaurant is cozy and the staff is super friendly and attentive. It might be worth for a special evening. No need for reservations if you get there early on a weekday.

Amazing service, great wine selection and unreal food. One of the best Italian (if not the best) restaurants in São Paulo.

Ambience, service and flavor are all top notch here. Had the grilled mozzarella with pesto and tomatoes and the fresh fussili pasta callabrese and everything was delicious.

The food was delicious. All tho I felt very rushed. I don't know if the communication barrier was the issue but when I got there it was very slow. About an hour into me sitting down it started to get busier so I don't know if they wanted me there taking up a table as I was there by myself. Otherwise it was pretty good.

Great ambient, the food, all fantastic.The medallion is a must! Service is good and they do not rush you. Great location.

Always a pleasure time. The restaurant and their hair is charming and they are attempted to all the details. They have an amazing ambience. The menu is rich in options and flavours, and nice cocktails. The food menu has authentic Brazilian food and with the sophisticated touch. The interior design is cozy and party at the same time. Highly recommend this restaurant! And I will definitely return, it became my tradition, always when I am in São Paulo, I need to go at least one day to this restaurant.

We were visiting São Paulo from the UK as part of a trip around Brazil. Out hotel was around the corner and the staff recommended it to us when we asked about a restaurant serving Brazilian food. It was an excellent find! The food was delicious, the caprinias great and the interior and atmosphere was lovely. The quality of service was exceptional with the friendly staff all speaking excellent English to us and making us feel welcome. I highly recommend it.

Run, don’t walk to this restaurant. Great atmosphere, super yummy food. Loved it.

Spot was open on Christmas night which was a bonus. The staff were lovely but very busy. We were a table of 12 so had to wait quite a while for our food. When it did come some of the food was cold but they did change those items quite quickly. I would like to go back in a smaller group and probably will get faster service and hotter food.

One of my favorite places in SP. Food is delicious, they actually got a proper steak tartar here, as it should be 😍 Cocktails are also good, music is nice, definitely recommend!

We came for the lively, energetic, and upbeat atmosphere. Great experience and the food was good! We ordered the squid, which was incredible, the melon/ham pasta, and the shrimp pasta. My shrimp pasta was fresh, and light, which was what I was looking for.

Amazing food and drinks. Goat cheese terrine was divine. Luca gave me great recommendations for the area and made a superb caipirinha specifically for my taste.

An excellent, authentic cafe. I don't get to stop by here often, but I always try to when I'm in the area. I really enjoy having a cup of coffee in such an atmospheric place

Its a great place for food, cakes and coffee.. all I have ordered was delicious. Best coffee I have had in Sao Paulo so far. Pastel de nata was better than in Lisbon :) . Price wise... reasonable european. Double espresso £2, pastel £2, empanada £3.

I would say 4.3 :) Perfect location, clean, nice decorations, well organized menus, good service, nice staffs, no long waiting time, fair price setting (maybe a bit more expensive than other places in the neighborhood/centro but no complaint) My carrot cake with chocolate was amazing! A slice was big and the cake itself was surprisingly very moist and yummy! Not super sweet but just tasty !!! I could eat five more slices🤣 My cappuccino came with a cute little dog art on it😘 very lovely to see it ! Just one thing to say..... On the button of the cup, there was still powder left, i needed to blend a bit. Nothing more. I def come back ! Next time i will try their red velvet cookies, which looked very good 😊

Shitty pão de queijo (lot of guests were complaining), service was not more than average. Coffee was good. But there are way better places to go in SP.

Lovely place. It's a cafe, bar and restaurant in the old part of the city. Seeped in class and tradition. Well worth a visit. The steak was amazing. The caipirinhas were to die for!

Perfect for a short break after walking .....

Great Coffee place!

Be ready to get in line to dine here. You are given a token at the entrance . It's preferred you stick around since they don't collect phone numbers to call. You can also book in advance. There is valet parking which is very convenient. The food options are great ! I was lucky enough to be around on the day Fejoada was served! Highly recommend visiting this place for authentic Brazilian food.

Great atmosphere, service and overall nice place. The food was authentic and large portions were served. Would highly recommend for people seeking to try local Brazilian food.

Long running Brazilian restaurant offering a traditional menu and a variety of caipirinhas. Good service, nice ambiance. Had the small pastel (empanada) appetizer and the steak, rice and beans. Quality ingredients, but under seasoned.

🍽️ Dinner in São Paulo – Traditional Brazilian Cuisine 🇧🇷 Tonight, we dined at a restaurant featured in the Michelin Guide, known for its traditional Brazilian dishes. We were recommended several must-try items—but overall, the experience felt a bit underwhelming. ✨ Moqueca Capixaba de Peixe e Camarão – A classic Brazilian seafood stew with fish and prawns simmered in a tomato and annatto broth, served bubbling in a clay pot. It came with a side of rice, reminiscent of Chinese-style meals. While the presentation was inviting, the flavor lacked depth—mainly salty, but missing aromatic richness. 🥩 Costelinha de Porco Confitada, Arroz de Feijoada e Couve – Grilled pork ribs with brown rice and kale. Unfortunately, the dish was quite one-note—monotonous and not particularly flavorful. 🥟 Assorted Pastries – We started with a mix of savory pastries filled with shrimp, jerked beef, marinated vegetables, and coalho cheese drizzled with cane molasses. While visually appealing, none of them stood out as especially unique or memorable. 🧀 Fried Manioc Balls with Homemade Cheese – Decent texture and mildly satisfying, but again, nothing to rave about. 🥘 Meat Simmered for 10 Hours in a Sealed Clay Pot – Served with grilled plantain and manioc flour, this was described as a must-try. Sadly, it too fell short—tender, yes, but lacking complexity and depth of flavor. 🍷 We paired the meal with some Brazilian wine, which was pleasant, but the food overall leaned heavily on salt and lacked the layered spices or bold tastes we were hoping for. Communication was also a challenge, as the staff spoke limited English, which made ordering a bit tricky. While it’s always great to explore local cuisine, this particular experience didn’t quite live up to expectations. Sometimes, Michelin doesn’t always mean magic ✨

This restaurant was recommended to me by a Brasilian friend, and it happened to be 4 min walk from my apartment. I came here for a solo dinner and ended up having a blast with another person who was also dinning solo. Next day i came back and got to meet the owners, a lovely couple. Food was really tasty, great atmosphere, and really affordable too. Would definitely recommend!

Best Brazilian restaurant In São Paulo! Amazing food and service. The ribs are a must have. Can’t wait to go again!

Possibly the most disappointing meal we had in Sao Paulo. We had high expectations given the reviews but the food lacked flavour and was very bland and needless to say, not worth the price.

A great place to eat ramen. Nothing that will blow your mind. The basics done right at a good price.

Delicious Japanese food! Worth the wait. There were 4 groups in front of us and we waited approx 15-20 minutes to be seated. We really enjoyed the miso soup, katsu donburi, and salmon hand roll. Staff were all very lovely too! Soy sauce came in a cute little bottle and is gluten free.

Delicious food, the meat was amazing 🩷 and great ambiance.

5 stars authentic Japanese food. Great food and nice atmosphere. Really recommend it.

👍👍🙏🙏👏👏

Incredible food! Reviewing a week later because I still haven’t gotten over their Katsu curry…

Absolutely delicious and authentic Japanese food, similar to what we've had in Japan. The kare katsu was fantastic. The katsu was crispy and moist, while the curry itself packed a lot of flavour using carrots and beef. We also had the sashimi/tempura set. The salmon was fresh. The tempura was the star of the show! Batter was so light and ultra crispy, just like how great tempura should be. Free tea was also offered.

I use the consistency of gelato for reference. This was more like ice-cream. The sugar-free options are stevia sweetened rather than sucralose and other less ‘friendly’ options. Bacio de latte seems the reference here in Brazil though it’s a poor cousin of the genuine stuff and overly sweet imo.

While hopping from one ice cream shop to another, we came across this one; good ice cream with a nice texture. The warm, wood-toned decor made it feel very cozy. When we visited, there was only one employee (and no other customers), so we got to enjoy the place all to ourselves.

A nice location with decent outdoor seating as the space inside their premises are quite limited. The gelato is excellent, but the other desserts are a bit lacking in edibility and therefore value.

Good desserts. The strawberry chocolate ice cream popsicle was very good. Strawberry gelato and lemon gelato were good. Service was helpful and friendly. Some of the staff speak English which was great as well.

Ice cream OK but a bit watery and not comparable to Albero dei Gelati (best) or Bacio di Latte. On the upside, many vegan options and quite a few sugar free flavours (with stevia instead).

The fruits ice-cream flavors are really good but at the last time it felt like too much sugar.

Incredible vegan (and dairy) gelato. Authentic Italian style. Chocolate & Lemon & Passionfruit flavours are divine.

I had high hopes for Jun Sakamoto, especially given its Michelin star status, but unfortunately, I feel it didn’t fully meet expectations. While the presentation and craftsmanship of the dishes were commendable, I found the experience to be overpriced for what was delivered. The sushi was undoubtedly fresh and well-prepared, but there wasn’t enough of a “wow factor” to justify the premium cost. Beyond the food, the service felt a bit cold and impersonal, which took away from the warm, intimate atmosphere you’d expect at a fine dining establishment of this caliber. While I respect the skill involved, I left feeling that the experience didn’t live up fully to its reputation especially for the price.

This has to be one of the best Omakase I’ve ever had in my life, from the first bite of the bluefin tuna I knew I was in for a treat (I think I rolled me eyes uncontrollably). It started off so strong and it stayed at the same level throughout, every single one was phenomenal, well balanced and perfect flavored. 10/10 and so well deserved Michelin star Environment: simple clean elegant design, everything was very well thought out from the inside and out and elevates the experience Food: I would honestly come back to São Paulo just for this. All the ingredients were sourced from all over the world for the best quality, the seasoning on each balance out the flavor perfectly. Food from the kitchen were all like a warm hug. Chef(Ryuzo Nishimura) so nice and so humble, and you can tell he’s genuinely happy with what he does and that makes the meal special. I was lucky to get a seat at the bar to watch him showcase his beautiful art. As the only non-Portuguese speaker on the table, chef patiently explained every dish to me in perfect English. I was the last one waiting for my Uber after they close and chef saw me and waited for my Uber with me. Service: people were very attentive and they all speak English (for us non-Brazilians) Price: coming from the US this is such a steal for Omakase let alone at this quality This has become one of my favorite restaurants in the world, and I honestly would come back to São Paulo just for this. As someone who never write reviews I feel obligated to leave one, it’s THAT good. If you can only have one meal in São Paulo, THIS IS IT!

Jun Sakamoto offers a stunning array of carefully crafted dishes poised to surprise and wow guests. From the outside, the restaurant seems to be a garage rather than a restaurant, however, once the doors open, guests are greeted with a zen style garden deco, floor to ceiling windows and of course, the famous chefs. Once seated, the meals equally wowed. From the small appetizer of steamed squid with roe to the blue fin tuna, each piece of food was crafted with care and a strong attention to detail. The dessert wasn’t much to write home about, a rather simple green apple ice cream. Overall the restaurant offers an experience deserving of its one star status.

Fantastic food! Impeccable service. Jun was very attentive and took the time to chat with us (about a lot of topics). After listening from him about all the tricks and techniques he has to employ to deliver superb quality it’s easier to understand why his restaurant is so successful! For another 20+ years!!

We went for omakase with chef Ryuzo Nishimura, who was great all around, very attentive service, pleasant and was probably the only person in the restaurant that spoke English. Food was what you would expect in a 1* restaurant, very classic edomae style sushi, and produce was great. Although, the serious complaint is that they do not use real wasabi, which should be a must for a such restaurant and at this price point. Omakase menu is farily priced at about 120 EUR per person, while wine markup was insanely high - more than double the price than what it should be in a restaurant. The restaurant didn't have a sommelier or a good wine list for that matter. Overall if you skip the wine, I would recommend this restaurant as a good choice.

The service is nice. The restaurant atmosphere is nice. The courses are almost all sushi. The sushi pieces were all soaked in some sweet soy sauce, which is weird, covering up the taste of the fresh fish. The selection of the fishes tonight didn't contain anything special.

We were served by Ryuzo and the experience was perfect! He explained every dish, entertained us and prepared a very coherent menu. It was R$600 per person + drinks. I will return, 100% guaranteed.

This place really has the ability to be great, but after multiple things going wrong, the food taste only being somewhat okay, terrible service and cold food I can’t give this place anymore than 2 stars. The latte was room temperature when I got it, it also took 20 minutes to arrive. The pink lemonade was not sweet, it was bitter and bland. The food took over 45 minutes to arrive and it wasn’t even super busy. The blueberry pancakes were very tasty, the waffles were bland, cold, burnt and dry and didn’t come within anything just the waffle. The cinnamon roll was dry and room temperature. The Ovos Mexicado’s (Scrambled eggs with cheese) tasted great! I ordered some bacon with them and was super tasty! After our food was dropped off we never had the server come up to us again and had to go to the register to find someone to pay the bill which was pretty ridiculous. The atmosphere is really cool, it has 2 levels, a front balcony outdoor area to sit on the second floor and a back outdoor area to sit, along with all the indoor seating areas.

Nice place for breakfast and brunch. The outside area is nice when it's not too hot. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars as the scones were not really authentic (the dough was different and they would never put sugar on top in the UK).

Pistachio pancake - had a nutty charm and the subtle crunch was on point but the spread was over powering and didn’t taste natural. The pancake was dense like cornbread than a light, fluffy pancake. Flavors was right but the topping and the pancake should be much lighter. Salad and orange juice was fresh and good. Server - gentleman downstairs next to the cashier/ bar. Whilst spoke limited English, he delivered smiles and perfect service. Overall, I would still return when I don’t want to eat hotel breakfast in the next few days of vacation here in Sao paolo.

We had an American Breakfast, which has an amount of food to easily satisfy two people. Tasty food accompanied by coffee made right before you and an immense orange juice glass. I’ve been there a few times, always on weekend days, and it was packed in every visit, with a relatively long waiting line. However, this time, we visited on a Friday, and there was no line at all.

Nice spot with great coffee in São Paulo. London Coffee Station has a cozy, beautiful atmosphere and serves excellent specialty coffee—the Americano (similar to a Long Black) was smooth and delicious. The cakes, though, were dry and flavorless, so I’d skip those. Service was a bit slow and not very attentive, except for the hostess who was friendly and welcoming. I’d definitely come back for the coffee and to try their brunch dishes.

Had a wonderful breakfast at this super cool london themed spot. The Nozos pancakes were divine...and the French press coffee was just the right match. All of the food was a little more dense than might be typical for Brazil morning fare...so prepare to leave feeling full! The atmosphere was great, even though the place was pretty full it felt cozy and intimate. Definitely if you're looking for something a little more European you should take a respite here.

delicious food, very good customer service.

If I live here, I'm sure this will be my go-to spot. The food was super quick getting to our table. The bar also made me a ginger ale bc I was not feeling well. The food was decent, but the star was Mother's Milk (like the Boys).

I normally never write reviews but I have never been this ignored at a café. The staff rather not serve anyone at all, I think, as they negate the existence of their clients. After various attempts no one attempted to take my order. A waste of your time and your good mood.

A very beautiful place. Service lacks a little bit of speed. Has a poor infrastructure - had to leave the place because I wasn't allowed to use an energy plug.

Used to be my favorite place until today one the servers who clearly was having a bad day, with no smile take my simple order of a chicken sandwich and brought me a sandwich with pork. I’m allergic to pork. Another server offered a replacement without apologizing. I left to NEVER come back. Also they don’t have the cute pastries anymore.

A very vibey modern cafe with green outdoor space and a chill interior. Food and drinks were fine. I came for the decor. Nice staff though limited English. Bathrooms are very clean and nice.

A more upscale cafe with coffee drinks, food, and alcohol. I puedes a decaf drip coffee with oat milk and it was 30 reais ($6) Good place to work and nice ambiance for a date spot as well.

Best coffee shop on Paulista. Recommend crater, French press. Also, the best latte I've ever tasted! Baristas worth their weight in gold.

Decent but nothing special

Delicious food. The staff were very kind with my limited Portuguese

Nice place, clean, with a lot of energy points! The cappuccino with chocolate is great and they also have vegetal milk options!

With personality and a good crew running the counter this place delivers a mean espresso and for the vegans out there... rejoice!

Great place, comfortable! Good attendances! Awesome food!!

Swiss chocolate are good. Also, many crepioca choices.

Good cappuccino, good food, plenty of healthy and vegetarian options. Good people.
