I'm not afraid to say that this is the best cocktail bar of São Paulo. The job Spencer Jr. and his…read morecrew do is remarkable. They seem to take care of every single detail to prepare the perfect cocktail. From the ice craving, the glasses to the quality of the liquors, everything is perfect. Had different cocktails here, so I won't tell details about every single one. But be sure that you will have a great time The environment is classic, with a piano on the outside, and dark and cozy environment inside. The bar is located on the Maksoud's Plaza lobby. The price is a lit bit expensive, but it[s something you can afford every once in a while. The service is very good, and be prepared to wait depending on the time you arrive.

An incredible cocktail bar, one that evokes an age where classic cocktails were king: an intimate…read morebar, the red banquettes, and the piano with a light jazz accompaniment in the background, setting the stage for a perfect night-cap. We decided to sit at the bar so we could watch the masters at work, bartenders who are obviously very proud of their craft. For me, it was a Boulevardier - think Negroni, but subtract the gin and add bourbon in its place. The drink was beautiful, with a hand-shaved ice cube that looked like a glimmering gem surrounded by what was easily the best cocktail I've had in years. (For those of you who follow me, you know that's high praise!) One of my friends opted for the Gin Cocktail, what the drink menu calls a "high-strength stirred drink": Umburana gin, Grand Marnier, ginger, and Rangpur lime bitters. I took a sip and can vouch for this being a high-octane drink, a quite delicious one at that. For many of the drinks, the original source of the recipe is cited. The Gin Cocktail comes from "Cooling Cups and Dainty Drinks", published in 1869 - a nice touch of history that takes one back in time while enjoying their cocktail, right down to the quintessentially British instruction to the bartender: "The recipe of Terrington demands a table spoon of bitters". How imperial! The bartenders were great, answering all of our questions about the array of items displayed on the bar, from the little misters used to give a finishing touch to cocktails to the array of botanicals and garnishes in the Mason jars on the bar. Frank Bar should be on everyone's list when they visit São Paulo, whether it's for a pre-dinner cocktail or for a nice way to end an evening out with friends. Muito obrigado ao bartênderes!

There were 43 on tap and hundreds line the walls in this bar / bottleshop. Lots of great European beers, heavy on Dutch and Belgium (Choice, Dr molens). A bunch of craft american. Light on lagers (Czechvar only). Even the most discerning will have trouble choosing. Slightly odd ordering ... see the bouncer. Get a magstripe card. Tell The bartender you want a beer. They call over the server who take your order. Bartender waits until he gets a ticket from the fancy doohickey. Pour the beer like 5 minutes later. Also the kegs seem over carbonated. One bartender routinely had to fill two glasses of mostly foam and then merge them when they settled. Makes for flat beer. But overall very good spot for beer geeks.

Everybody knows that Sao Paulo is the best city to eat great Japanese food outside Japan.

I have never been in Japan, but I heard that Izakaya Issa is very authentic and traditional.

The star dishes from the place is the octopus balls (really creamy and well-flavored) and the ramen!

There were certainly plenty of Japanese speaking customers mixed in with Portuguese. And I, the odd tourist, felt right at home. The bamboo shoot and shitake mushroom appetizers were delectable. The chicken broth ramen was insipid. The Gyukatsu Kare (breaded fried beef with curry sauce over rice) was better, but not the ultra crispy panko planks I've had in some places. Maybe it was because I ordered it at the end of the night. The Brazilian brewed cold sake was really good. Could hardly tell the difference from Japanese sake. But, the highlight of the dinner of Sanma Shio--grilled pike mackerel with sea salt. Inexpensive for Sanma, uber fresh, grilled crispy so that you could crunch up the head and tail! The service was prompt, efficient and very warm. Even the owner came by to chat several times. Arigato gozaimasu! Obrigado! Thank you.

I'll certainly come back to try a different meal from their large food menu. I also had one of their burgers and it was pretty tasty.
