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. 

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

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. 

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.
