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. 

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!

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.
