A real tasting experience. Michelin category. As they are. Incredible did the 8 course with wine pairing. Absolutely worth it.

Yelp Review 2025 #167: One of Latam's 50 Best Restaurants and Michelin Big Gourmand is A Casa do Porco or the House of the Pig. Aptly named since they raise their own pigs in a farm and they make sure they follow practices that are humane and sustainable. Feeding people with respect to the environment. They use the whole pig and nothing gets wasted. I made a dinner reservation a month in advance through their website. It was a simple process. I stopped by for lunch too and there was a line out the door for people without reservations. They do have a takeout window to the side of the restaurant if you want something like a sandwich. You can do their tasting menu or do a la carte. It'll end up cheaper if you did the tasting menu than a la carte. However, I have been eating my way around São Paulo and I knew I would be struggling to finish a lot of food plus, I had a 7am flight the next day. So, I ordered a la carte. I wanted the San Ze Pig (roast pig) but it's too much food. Torresmo de Pancetta + Goiabada + Picles de Cebola Roxa: Crispy pork cracklings topped with a thick sauce made with pickled red onions, and guava. You get 6 pieces. Definitely get this. It was crispy, salty and sweet. Sushi de Papada de Porco + Tucupi Negro + Ameixa fermentada: Pork sushi brushed with black tucupi (sauce made from fermented manioc which looks and tastes similar to balsamic vinegar) and fermented plum. It looks like unagi nigiri. You get 4 pieces per order. I was not given utensils. The items I ordered were meant to be eaten using your fingers. The interior and exterior seem very casual. There's graffiti outside the building and inside the restaurant. Even when you look in Google Maps, it doesn't look like it's a restaurant but an abandoned building. By the time I contemplated adding the San Ze Pig, I was already done with my meal and it was time for me to go back to the hotel. You can check out their menu on their website which you could translate to English to save time on making your selections. They also have menus in English if you ask for it. Service was great and helpful. It was nice light dinner. read more

A Casa do Porco is an innovative restaurant specializing in numerous preparations of pork. However, they do so much more and employ fine dining techniques and presentation in a casual and affordable setting. According to our waiter, the "must try" appetizer was the crispy pork belly topped with guava paste, but more than the taste of this item, I loved the presentation, as the six bite-sized pieces were plated on a pink plate topped with a pig head cover! The best way to get a good sampling of their offerings was the 8-course tasting menu, which featured numerous small bites, an entree, and two dessert courses. 1. Countryside Flavors - Pork shank terrine, pork tartare, pork with couscous, ora pro nobis (an edible leaf), and an earthy pork crackling bread with mortadella and brown butter. 2. Using Your Hands - Sweet potato steamed bun topped with Milanese pork, roasted pork empadinha with cream cheese and couscous farofa, pork in a can (shredded pork fritter), and a miso pork broth. 3. Raw Pork - Pork loin carpaccio with salad and a pork crackling. 4. Pork + Shrimp - Dumplings filled with cotechino and shrimp, all in a toasted vegetable broth. 5. Fond Memories - Pork rib, corn & cheese foam, and ground maize chips. 6. San Ze Pork - This entree course centered around two super tender pieces of fatty roasted pork, pork sausage, and a number of vegetable sides including couve, okra with peanuts, farofa, beans with eggs, and banana tartare. Definitely a highlight! 7. From the cow's udders - The only course with no pork, this dessert came with vanilla ice cream, rice pudding, yogurt, milk foam, crunchy peanuts, toffee caramel, and toasted breadcrumbs. 8. Sweets + Black Coffee - Mid roast black coffee from Minas Gerais, strawberry sorbet/jam in a cone, cured cheese with pumpkin jam, candied banana, milk caramel, and a chocolate-covered pork crackling. What a feast of the senses and a must-try restaurant for any foodie! My favorite courses included the pork crackling bread from Countryside Flavors, the pork empadinha from Using Your Hands, and every component of the main course, the San Ze Pork! The service was super friendly and explained everything we were tasting, and the menu came at a reasonable price for the high quality and creativity of the dishes! read more

Named for its focus on pork in all its forms, this place has a tasting menu that is out of this world and if you live in the US it's one of the most affordable tasting menu experiences out there. The space if very informal and relaxed, but with an amazingly attentive staff that is there to make sure you have the best time. While they do have an a la carte option I recommend trying their signature cocktails and going for the tasting menu, every bite was incredible. Beware though, if you are not that into pork this is not the place for you. They have vegetarian options, but really the pig is the star of the show and it just doesnt seem worth it to miss out. read more

Heard about a casa do Porco through the worlds 50 best restaurant list and had a chance to visit my last trip to São Paulo. I had the tasting menu which is priced at under 300 real, which equates to a little over 60 dollars (11/14/23 date). For this calibres restaurant and food tag is really affordable. The tasting menu consists of charcuterie, small snacks, mini sandwiches and different preparations of pork from raw, braised and bbq. Surprisingly my favourite preparation was the tartare. There was a nice contrast of textures, flavours and was seasoned well. I also enjoyed the main course which included a pork rice, unique type of Brazilian grain and crispy skin suckling pig in a rich jous. The service here was very good. They have English speaking staff which explained the menu and each dish in detail. Since this restaurant is consistently ranked as one of the best in Latin America and in the world I came in with high expectations. Using that as the context I feel the food at comparable ranked restaurants and lower ranked restaurants are better. I knocked down one star for this reason. However the food is still excellent and the service and environment are also great. I came in as a walk and had no issue getting a seat at the bar for an early dinner (before 6pm). read more

It's hard to get a reservation at this restaurant. If you're in São Paulo and eat pork you must experience A Casa do Porco. Voted 4th best restaurant in Latin America and 27th world's best restaurants. We did the 8 course tasting with wine pairing and everything was delicious. They recently just changed their menu too! Cool, fun vibe and service is great! read more

Like a previous review, we too came here because of its renown on the top 50 world best restaurant list. As a result, we came here expecting perfection, and the restaurant is really good but maybe not perfect. Overall it is English friendly and the translation of the name is quite literally pork house. For pork lovers, this is an amazing spot and it is uniquely positioned. Taste: 4/5 Service: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Value for money: 4/5 We had the taste menu which ranged like this: 1. Cold cuts: A great way to start. This ranges from a loin cup, guanciale (tasted like prosciutto), lard (surprising good but fatty) and pork head cuts (cheek area is what we had) 2. Sandwiches: A) Tapioca Bread, countryside sausage and green tomato vinaigrette, this was something many of us liked and felt like a mini star of the show. It was a good bite, deep fried and tasted a bit gluttony B) Paulistano: Ham, pickled egg and fried pork trip - also a strong highlight C) Bread and mortadella: Not bad but not as good as the other two 3. Pork Tartare - great bite like the cold cuts 4. BBQ - the skin was crispy but very hard. 5. Conceptual dish (onion soup + pork ossobuco) - the onion soup was bit too salty for my liking. 6. San ze pork - the main dish, loin cap it seemed, overall cooked well but slightly overdone 7. Papaya & Jabuticaba - this was good 8. Dessert plate - great way to end, there was a milk pudding cone, cannoli and cheese ball, the presentation of this was on a log and very Instagramable! All in all, would totally recommend trying this restaurant. There's a unique concept in place where everything is pork based. All around pork! Do try it if you're around! P.S. get in line an hour earlier if you really want to eat on time. We had a tremendous wait time which definitely took away from the overall experience read more

Wow! Who knew that pork could be so...Gourmet?! A friend was going to take me out to lunch at another restaurant, but we were both not up to their "Dress Code," so, we meandered out and he remembered that this place was close- and we headed over. I had never heard of it (and I am quite the Foodie), but come to find out, it is number 7 of the top 50 restaurants in the world! I was blown away that this place was so close. Of course, there was a line, so we put our name at the stand and we had a cold beer and some pork rinds, which I can honestly say were the best I have ever had! Crispy and light, tasty! After about 30 minutes, our name was called and we were taken to a table. Then the experience got even better. My friend told me that they have a tasting menu that takes about 2 hours to be served, and while I wanted to do that, I did not have the time, so he ordered a smaller version of the menu which covered our table! Every single item was delicious, the tastes were incredible! Pork! Who knew?! I watched the busy waiters bring trays of small plates to the other tables, along with tasters of wine, I was very impressed. Still, my smaller meal was incredible and I left full and happy. I really hope to come back to this place next time I am in São Paulo and experience the entire tasting menu. And I highly recommend that if you come, to plan the time and bring an appetite- you will NOT be disappointed! read more

Rated No.7 on the worlds 50 best restaurant of the world on 2023 and have been on the top 10 for years. It's truly amazing. This place serve everything pig. If you visited the first time maybe you can try their tasting menu which includes fishes from all over Latin America. But since I've been to all those places so I decided to try their signature dishes from a la cart menu. The menu is not big but the food is delicious and surprisingly really affordable. I was trying to reserve but it was booked out for the next four months. In the end I was able to get a walk in table at 5pm without waiting. The hostess said the best time for walk in is between 5pm and 6:30pm on weekdays. Other time would have to wait for at least 2hrs because their tasting menu is 1.5 hrs. Staffs are friendly and some speak good English so ordering is not a problem. Some seating on the street but might have mosquito. read more

Best meal of the trip! Two friends from Sao Paolo both recommended this restaurant. It's on a leafy street corner with an outdoor patio, and you small tables if you want to get a drink while you wait. I ended only having to wait 10 minutes on a weekday lunch. The waiter recommended the San ze Pork, which seemed to be what everyone was having, crispy pork with sides of greens, rice and a local grain. The crispy pork skin was amazing! It was too much food for 1 person but I'd definitely go back and try the full tasting menu. All the staff were friendly even though I didn't speak Portuguese. read more

Casa do Porco is listed in lists including it amongst the top 50 restaurants in the world. I made a reservation a few weeks ahead of my trip to Brazil. Fortunately, we were able to make a reservation as there were none other available 3 months ahead. First of all, my scrutiny for this restaurant will be higher than how I'd rate other restaurants because of its high ranking status. We ordered the tasting menu for R$290 each, plus we ordered one of the drink tasting menus for R$210. In usd, it is about $60/person which seems reasonable for a high end restaurant. It was a cool experience, the presentation of the dishes was excellent and it seemed like they had a lot of creativity in the presentation of the different dishes. There were also many different ways of cooking pork. None of the dishes did I find particularly great or exceptional unfortunately. It was all very interesting. I wouldn't really recommend this restaurant to my family as an example since I thought the food was OK. Next time I'm in São Paulo, I'll probably give DOM a try. read more

Not for nothing this is the 17# best restaurant in the world. All the details are very well taken care of. Caroline, the hostess, is very friendly, bilingual and very helpful. The restaurant is small but comfortable. Deco, ornaments all add up for a a magic experience. Food is Top-notch, period. I Highly recommend "Pancetta com goiabada " a wonderful appetizer with fried pork and guava. The star of the day is Porco San Zé. I'm looking forward to go back to that place read more

When one first reads about Jefferson Rueda's A Casa do Porco Bar it sounds too good to be true, but, as it turns out, the Restaurant is very real and for those willing to brave the lines an unique experience awaits with creativity, flavor and value at every turn. Translated to English as 'House of the Pig,' the butcher-turned-Chef embracing a focus on sustainability that sees Brazilian breeds raised on a natural diet of Whey and Vegetables in an open environment before slaughter, it is ninety minutes before A Casa do Porco Bar's daily opening that guests begin to queue, the no reservations policy doing nothing to harm a business that remains at capacity through closing. Born and raised in São Paulo, with time abroad including a stint at El Celler de Can Roca enriching professional training, it is from an open kitchen that Chef Rueda can be seen working side-by-side with a staff of at least six, English-fluent servers immediately directing first-timers to Porco's $45USD Tasting Menu, though a variety of a la carte plates are also offered. Professional but not at all formal, the voices of tightly seated customers raised to be heard over music, it is toward the front that guests will find a small butcher shop, the presence of several off-cuts showing Chef's desire to respect the Pig's "life and death without waste," though that certainly does not mean the menu is without Offal such as the whipped Pork Fat and bits of Snout in Egg Salad served as part of breakfast-themed course number one. Producing everything from Pasta and Bread to Syrups and Sausages on-site, Cupuaçu Soda proving an excellent complement to the expectedly salty menu, course two features Pork served raw with added creaminess from Bone Marrow, a bit of aging adding richness that leads well into Chef Rueda's signature "Sushi" made of Aspic brushed with fermented Manioc Root Juice. A steadily-paced nine-courses, sequentially larger dishes arriving five to ten minutes after another, it was next atop fried Eggplant that Pork Ragu shined, the idea of Parmigiana furthered by Canastra Cheese while a follow-up vessel in the shape of a Pig's head continued crunchy with Pancetta topped in Pickled Onions and spicy Guava Preserves. Locally focused but globally aware, the afternoon's sixth course spinning Brazil's national dish as though it were Aguachiles, it was soon thereafter that BBQ was served, both Sausage and Rib well-crafted and an easy transition to A Casa do Porco's famous roast Pork with crackling Skin and modernized traditional accoutrements including Greens, Bananas and Farofa. Offering an array of Desserts and Cocktails, one featuring Cashew Fruit easily the latter's top-seller, it is fortunate that sweets trend small as most guests will be stuffed by meal's end, though if "Pamonha! Pamonha! Pamonha!" and its exploration of Corn is any indication an a la carte visit for Dessert alone might be a justifiable use of time, money and calories. read more

O.M.G. This place is fabulous. It's not by chance that this is named one of the best restaurants in South America these days. The concept of this restaurant is that everything (well almost everything) is made based on pork. All the dishes are delish (they also have a tasting menu). There's one little detail... the lines get to 4-5h wait all the time!!! PRO TIP: go on a weekend around 4PM, put your name and then go walk around and visit the area. Very often a lot of people give up and the wait suddenly goes from 4h to 1.5h wait. Fingers crossed for you! It will be worth it!!! read more

Service and atmosphere were both amazing. We were able to walk in after calling and being told there were no reservations available and we were very excited about that. We chose the experience and it is definitely worth both the price and time(about 2 hours). The dishes al have a pork element and each represent a different Latin American country. I'm no it sure how often they change the menu so I won't go through each dish. But the arepa, ribs and pork tartare were are favorites. Are main criticisms would be that some of the dishes lacked flavor, and some were served at what seemed like temperatures that could have been warmer. The main course truly fell short for us, roasted pork with crunchy skin (don't get me wrong, the skin was sublime, but typical), served with rather ordinary sides. The Haitian dish they served was not tasty or pretty. I think it's definitely worth visiting, however I can't see how this place ranks in the Top 50 Latin America. The dessert was beautiful and delicious read more

Literally translated as "House of Pork", the restaurant's menu is a haven for all you pork lovers. It was hard to narrow down what dishes my friends and I want to order so we went with our server's suggestion: De Tudo Um Porco, or in English, All of the Pig!!! Basically, you just leave it up to the chef to make you a multi-course meal, featuring the gloriousness of the pig for roughly R$90-R$100. Our party of 8 was not disappointed at all. It seemed as if the onyx-colored serving plates endlessly kept heading to our table. I believe we had about 10 dishes before we were handed the dessert menu! Favorites of the group include the sushi de papada de porco (pork jowl sushi, a must!), the charcuterie with headcheese and fixings, cracklings topped with guava, Porco São Zé (aka roast pig), and the flan with cotton candy. Personally, I felt the chef's selection highlighted all of the amazing aspects of pork. We all had a great time here, especially when our server served us a round of cachaça to get us in a festive mood. I highly recommend having a meal at Casa do Porco if you ever are visiting São Paulo. read more

We were able to get a table for 2 with no wait during the week. When I went during the weekend, they told me to expect a 2-3 hours. As the name suggests, the restaurant's menu is pork-centric. Tasting menu is extremely worthwhile. They'll bring out 9 small plates, a large plate of pork and a dessert. For cocktails we tried the Caju amigo, PPP and the Fim de expediente. They were pretty decent. Items on the tasting menu: * Presunto real Rueda * Embutido de cabeca * Porcopoca - pork skin + guac + algae * Tartare de porco - pork tartare on bread crumb cracker * Sushi de papada de porco * Alface romana * Sangueeingrediente * Pão no vapor * Telha - breadcrumb cracker base topped with banana tartare and quail egg * Torresmo de pancetta * Sr porco + tutu de feijão + tartare de banana * Morangos - strawberry salad with basil ice cream read more

Yes, it's a restaurant dedicated to pork, in many, many, many forms. In fact, they offer a nine course tasting menu of different preparations - but it sounded a bit much for lunch, and a little... frou-frou. The guy at the table next to us was trying it, while his friends looked on, having long before finished their simpler plates. It looked interesting, but not what we were after. I went with their classic roast suckling pig lunch - a small platter of melt in your mouth meat with crispy skin, with beans, shredded kale, and onion farofa, plus "banana tartare" on the side. The latter was just a soupy mix of chopped bananas and some salt, pepper, and cilantro, I think. I left that after trying it. But the rest, absolutely delicious. My partner decided on spaghetti carbonara, made with house-cured guanciale, pig cheeks. And, no cream! Yay! And he liked my beans so much he ordered another ramekin of them for himself. Great food, great service, great fun. Add in a couple of waters and tip, and we left for 181 reales, $47. Worth it. read more

Wow, the art of cooking a pig. The sampler of dishes we ordered was just something extraordinary. They take no reservations and about half an hour before opening the line around the corner was long enough to fill all tables. I can just let the photos do the talking. The only thing missing from those is the exquisite aroma and very delicate melange of tastes. We will pick a hotel a bit.

This is the new hype spot in São Paulo. Anyone who's passionate about food and the autor chef movement must join the line at Casa do Porco. This medium-sized eatery is packed at night - so much so that we waited a full 2 hours for a table. Normally, I'd give up, but my Paulista friends (famous for being radars of exceptional food), insisted we wait the good wait. Once seated, we started with some of the craft cocktails expertly served up by the bar. We left the food ordering to Daniela N (read her review for specific food recommendations). She's a professionally trained chef and her craft (aside from preparing otherworldly meals) is in ordering for the table. We ate things I wouldn't normally order and when I asked her if chefs ever come out from the kitchen to ask for the table with the flawless choices, she simply grinned (obviously this has happened before). Everything I ate was better than the last thing and while I'm not one who goes for the exotic food choices, everything we ate here was the best I've had in a long, long time. Check out the photos I took and wait in the line! If you're waiting ask for some shots of the cachaça specially made for the restaurant (it comes from the chef's region). Tip: there's a window along the side of the restaurant that serves up quick food (even stuff for vegans and vegetarians). Ideal for lunch or grabbing something solo. read more

Hello my name is Hans and I'm addicted to pork. If you are as addicted to pork, you have to dine in here. This place is no joke and it exceeds all my expectations, really all, from wait staff, cooking techniques, sourcing and respect to the animal, usage of 100% of the animal, décor, ohh and attention to detail when the wait staff get your order and place them on a smart queue so you keep going up in the flavour elevator, very throughout details that makes a whole difference. Before I start my review, I just want to make sure to let you know that this review is for two visits that I'd done properly, the omakase way. Yep, both times omakase done. Since all discretion were both times superb, I'm going to start talking about food only, food that I'd ordered: *Porcopoca / pork rinds Lightly seasoned pork rinds, perfect pork rinds, no tough pieces, pure crunchiness heaven. *Embutido da cara do porco / head cheese This is way better then the head cheese found in the US. It's not processed and mashed up into a cylindrical shape, instead it's paper thin slices of meats and muscles and fat from the pig's face. A tad fatty to my tasting. *Linguiça de porco / pork brat Artisan pork brat, juicy, not overly processed, some loin chucks but no chunks of fat. Well seasoned, served along with onion farofa, wholewheat bread, mustard, charbroiled bokchoy and cabbage. *Tartar de porco (maturado + tutano + champignon) / pork tartar (aged + marrow + shrooms) Dear lord don't let the word 'tartar' fool ya! Swedish wholegrain toast topped with pork marrow, shrooms, and dry aged pork loin. It's so amazing, really! Since the pork has been aged, flavours are intense and sharp, marrow just smoothes out and give some mild richness that is so mild that you know it's there but does not overpowers the aged pork. Also topped with micro flowers which are not on it just for beauty, it perfumes all your senses. Not that it needed because there is no off aromas or smell because there is no odor but it has such a scent that will switch your brains about the words: pork and tartar. Brilliant touch! *Croquete de porco / pork croquette *Virado à Paulista (porco + feijão + couve + linguiça) / SP's local dish (pork + beans + collard greens + brat) *Sushi e papada de porco + tucupi preto / pork dewlap nigiri + wild yucca water This is brilliant a self sufficient sushi, well not that it will grow itself but this part of the pig is not usually used for anything on the spotlight, and with the scarcity of anago and unagi this makes it a perfect fit since ACDP gets the whole and usually a dewlap becomes either stock or head cheese. Dewlap is cooked so tender, yet with a bit of moisture causing it to be slightly chewy just as a pice of fatty charbroiled unagi. *Alface romana + costelinha de porco + arroz + algas marinhas (bib lettuce + pork rib + rice + wakame) *Torresmo de pancetta + goiabada / deep fried pork belly + guava jelly Well played deep fried pork belly, most likely cooked like sous-vide using a Rational to control moisture then cryo fried, theeeen topped off with a guava jelly, which gives me a slight hint of misso, but I also tasted a tiny bite which leads my conclusion of using gochujang. Last night I was telling people that I would drive across town just to have this. *Porco San Zé + tutu de feijão + tartar de banana + couve + farofa de cebola / pig roast + beans + banana tartar + collard greens + onion farofa The best pig roast you've ever had, forget the "Caja China", this tops all your pig roast expectations and dream you might happen to have. It's served my very Brazilian staple sides. Gotta do it, but it has to be the last. Take this food coma gracefully. *Sorbet de manjericão + morango / basil sorbet + strawberries *HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT* This dessert surpassed all dishes I have tasted for the last couple visits there! Sorbet is so smooth and yet, gentle perfumes that played with my senses, hint of basil, carnation, milk, it was the best frozen treat ever! Fresh sweet strawberries, razor blade celery sticks, and flat pieces of merengue for crunch. Tiny micro flowers or what reminds me of a Columbine flower. I will drive any given time across town for this. *Pudim de leite + algodão doce / leche flan + cotton candy An adult version of leche flan, slightly sweet flan, dense but smooth with no space for air bubbles, topped with bitter caramel chantilly. Overall flan was slightly sweet and a side of a cotton candy just for precaution. Right on the middle of the menu there are some tiny letters that read: "Se você estiver curioso para experimentar um monte de pratos, peça tudo de porco' Fale com o garçom." Which translates to "If you're curious to try a bunch of dishes, talk to the waiting staff", so what does it mean? Well, a whole new world opens up, son! Especially if you are flying solo or on a date. What happens is that you can split dishes and split money wise too. All dishes are meant to serve four people, meaning one read more

Jefferson Rueda is a name associated with some great culinary in São Paulo and when we heard that he was opening a restaurant in downtown São Paulo dedicated 95% to pork dishes, we really couldn't contain our patience and boy ! we were certainly not let down, atleast not in the food department. So 'Casa do Porco' is a great place to come as a couple or in a smaller group of upto 4 people so that you can taste the various pork-based 'tapas' / mini dishes and there are a whole lot of them - ranging from aged-pork tartar, to pork sushi and to the 'oh-so-wonderful' pork "croquetes" (fried delicacy). The also have options of full pork-based meals, but we were so busy with the smaller dishes that we couldn't get to it - maybe next time or maybe sometime during lunch. Also there is a tiny sandwich/cold cuts counter where you can pick up stuff to take home. Ok, now lets me get to some of the quirky issues - a. Bar : They have a full bar BUT the cocktails are one-thirds to half of what decent bars in the city serve but they charge just as much. They could really use a proper bartender because we sat at the bar seeing drinks being prepared and really it wasn't a pretty site. b. Prices : The food is priced not he higher side, but they deliver in terms of quality but the cocktails were pricey and the service charge of 13% isn't really optional - almost all other establishments charge a 10% service charge. I would definitely recommend this place - I am going to be returning several times but I am going tot stay away from the bar ! read more

The restaurant is loud and busy, as you would expect a casual bar eatery would be. The servers are great, speaks english and will help with recommendations. I had a few small bites to start and ended with a medium plate of the pulled roasted pork. Hands down a must try if your in Sao Paulo! It was a lot of effort to get a table, but the food is well worth it! read more

Will you have to wait for a while for a table? Yes. Is it worth it? YES. While you wait for a table, get the torresmo and a cocktail from the outside walk up window. We ordered lots of different things in our group, but if it's your first time there, I'd have to say choose the tasting menu. Every selection is excellent, and many have unexpected cominations of flavors or textures. It's foodie meat lover heaven, I'm in love, and I otherwise DON'T EVEN LIKE PORK. read more

If you love pork, you need to eat here. The pork belly is to die for. It comes having been roasted into crispy perfection on the outside and is savory and tender on the inside. It comes with a beautiful red sauce on top that is slightly sweet. This was probably the best thing we are. I wish we had ordered more of that and less of everything else. The other thing that I liked was the slaw made of a green cabbage with a very light vinaigrette. I would have added just a little bit more like or lemon because you need something like that to cut the taste of the rich pork. There is a long wait but luckily there are benches. If you can't find a seat, go to Jazz B next door and have a drink while you wait. Great music and nice drinks. They will text you when your order is ready. Took a star off because the bathroom toilets did not work and there was no running water to wash hands. That is just not sanitary. They did have some carafes of water but that just didn't sit well with me. Service was excellent. We loved our table that we shared with 4 others. We found them delightful. read more

I really don't get the raves for this place. Waitstaff was good, attentive. The space is nice. But the food just wasnt very good. Had the expensive tasting menu. Tasting menu=not much food for too much money. Nothing was bad, but the portions were minuscule and there wasn't a single dish that I would order a la carte. Seriously, the food was just bland, and apparently the only seasoning they use is salt. I like salty food, but this was just boring. There was a pork consommé that tasted like salty water, and a few other bits and pieces of salty pork chunks. A waste of time and money, only for paulistanos who want to go to a famous place and don't care if the food is mediocre. read more

The best place to eat pork meat in São Paulo. Great appetizers like pork sushi (incredible flavor!) and Porco Banzé (Pork meat, "farofa" and much more). Good wine list and beers. Flavourful desserts and special coffee in the end. It's an interesting experience! read more

The great reviews are deserved. The food is very good. But this review is about the take-out window which promises Comida Rapida. Well, it's not. The dilatory young man managed to turn out 8 sandwiches in 45 minutes, painstakingly placing ingredients one by one, oblivious to the small crowd of customers waiting on the sidewalk. There are plenty of convenient options elsewhere in the neighborhood and obviously this place doesn't need your business. read more

Absolutely amazing cuisine! I traveled quite a bit and rarely give 5 star ratings. This place is out of my expectation good. Each dish was flavorful and unique. The ingredient paring was impeccable. A must try in São Paulo! read more

See all

Everything that I've tried there was delicious. The house is a little bit crowded and usually you have to wait for a table but still is worth! It's not so cheap, I think we spent R$100,00 per person but it was a great experience. read more
