São Paulo
in Brazil

A Casa do Porco Bar is a pork lover's haven. Chef Jefferson Rueda combines childhood flavours with modern techniques, while simultaneously serving some of the best cocktails in São Paulo. It's first come first serve here, so make sure to get there on time to get a taste of their 8-hour roasted Porco a San Zé!

Bottega Bernacca is one of the best Italian places in Brazil. Elegant, quaint and exquisite. Dreamy for a late date night and ideal for celebrating good news with fresh pasta and red wine.

If you know coffee, you know Brazilian blends are top tier. At this micro-roaster, you can find some of São Paulo's best in a cosy space! Owner Isabela Raposeiras is one of Brazil's most influential roasters, and if you have the time try to snag a spot in one of their courses on all things coffee!

Confeitaria Marilia Zylbersztajn is serious about their pies. Once you take a bite and it melts in your mouth, you will understand. 

If you happen to have a very special occasion to celebrate while in São Paulo, we can't recommend the restaurant D.O.M. enough. This very special progressive restaurant highlights Amazonian and indigenous cooking in tasting menus that have led them to acquire two Michelin stars!

De Primeira is a very hip corner you will most certainly spot while walking around Vila Madalena. It was made for an afternoon Caipirinha and a taste of all the Brazilian tapas: from pasteles and coxinhas to fresh oysters and De Primeira's iconic octopus salad. Of course, you can always have a big proper lunch or dinner: will it be a classic beef strogonoff or the locally adored bacalao? What ever it is, always paired with Cerveja Original or Guarana. 

Fogo de Chão in Jardins is one of the best places to experience authentic Brazilian rodízio in São Paulo. Here, servers circulate with skewers of grilled meats – from beef to lamb, pork, and chicken – slicing them tableside nonstop. Rodízio means endless servings, so you eat until you’ unzip your pants. The meats, all exceptionally seasoned, juicy, and cooked over open flames, will make even those who don’t usually eat meat, eat meat. But Fogo de Chão knows about palate cleansers, which is why they encourage you to complement your feast with fresh salads, smoked veggies, or a worldwide favourite: their heavenly, life-changing, caramelised bananas. It wont sound appealing until you try it. If we had to add two meat cuts it would be Cupim and Picanha.

Opened back in 2001, Fortes D'Aloia & Gabriel presents a dynamic artistic programme that highlights the best of Brasilian and foreign artists, both young and established. We particularly love the ambitious exhibitions they put on at art fairs around the world.

As the second enterprise of the Fasano Group in São Paulo, the Fasano Itaim is a great option for your stay with striking architecture and elegant rooms. This beautiful hotel has a high-quality restaurant, spa, wellness options, meeting rooms, and more. What more could you want?

The Fasano Hotel combines comfort and elegance in every room. Located in the fashionable Jardins neighborhood, this luxury hotel is great option for your stay in São Paulo. With a delicious Italian restaurant and a spa inside, you never have to leave ! 

The Ibirapuera Park is the perfect refuge from the city rush. It is the biggest green space in Sâo Paulo, and has a gorgeous running trail through the trees and past a series of landmark buildings designed by the famous Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer.

Kinoshita is probably one of the more high end places to have dinner in São Paulo. This truly is a little piece of Japanese gastronomic heaven in the heart of this Brazilian city, and proudly holds the title of having one Michelin star. 

Maní has a passion for good cooking, and you can tell by the effort put into each dish. Savour the flavours of every bite and enjoy some natural wine on the side. The stunning contemporary decor makes this place feel inviting and cozy while you dine. 

Foodies can't leave São Paulo without stopping by the Mercado Municipal, a charming gourmet market that specialises in fresh produce and dried fruits. We recommend going on a Sunday so you can enjoy the live music while sinking your teeth into bacalhau from the Hocca Bar.

Having earned its Bib Gourmand, we guarantee nothing short of delectable Northeastern food at this gem of a restaurant. While it might be a bit of a trek to get there, we promise it is well worth it just to get a bite of their torresminhos, or pork rinds. 

Want to come back from Brasil with something all your friends will be jealous of? Swing by Nannacay's flagship store in São Paulo. You'll immediately see why their signature straw bags are getting tonnes of hype across the country.

This wonderful Brazilian fashion brand can't be missed when you're in the country. The innovative designs by Oskar Metsavaht are beyond anything, and we honestly can't get enough!

This lovely coffee spot is all things elegant and chic, serving the best freshly-roasted Brazilian coffee & bites. 

Dining at Tuju is guaranteed to satisfy you with its delicious seasonal food. Sit in the beautiful garden or inside to feel like you are part of the kitchen. Make sure to get dessert!

On top of São Paulo’s Museum of Contemporary Art (MAC USP) is a rooftop bar where art, food, and skyline meet. Sip açaí-infused cocktails on the terrace beneath the stars or during the day, discover the greenest sweeping views of Ibirapuera Park and the iconic Obelisk, designed by legendary local Oscar Niemeyer. While the food is comforting and superb (like their "Nhoque de mandioquinha"- gnocchi with taleggio cheese, taro cream, lemon-vine and truffle butter), Vista is the ultimate sunset spot – perfect for a tropical drink while playing "I Spy" over São Paulo’s enchanting, hectic beauty.
