Thank goodness for reservations. We were in dire need for sustenance…read more The Moulard duck confit with orange sauce and roasted potatoes are comfort food personified - sorry Donald. The gnocchi of golden parsnips, grana pandano cream and truffled white butter did not hit the mark, but was okay. As far as Angus filet mignon with green pepper and Dijon mustard goes, it was good. The potatoes Dauphinoise were also quite a hit. As others have exclaimed, the food takes a while. So, grab a drink, perhaps 10 and embrace the night.

I had the opportunity to stop by this small shop when I was traveling to São Paulo. I was very…read moreimpressed to see such a quality product here that is fresh, tasty and delicious. MENU We ordered a pot pie (torta de frango) to go. I have had many of the pies and this is probably one of, if not the best pot pie I have ever had. The texture is very crunchy and it is baked to perfection to give that nice texture to bite, not to hard and not too soft. The filling is great as well, delicious and there is definitely that wow factor. SERVICE It took a while to fulfill the order as there were a huge line. It is a small shop so make sure to not go when you are in a rush. But the team always polite and always smiling when we were there. DECOR/ AMBIANCE There is no seating. Very cute small shop.

Serving upscale Jardim Paulista since 2013, Santo Pão (Portuguese for Holy Bread) takes a French…read moreapproach to baking and Café-style dining without abandoning Brazilian ingredients and ideas. A welcoming and open space at Rua Padre João Manuel 968, capacity for around forty diners divided between indoor and outdoor seating including comfy chairs, it is immediately on entry that guests will notice cases filled with Cakes and Pastries, the menu spelling out choices from Santo Pão's kitchen adding to an already tough decision with everything from Soups and Sandwiches to housemade Pasta. Open from 08h00 until 22h00 Monday through Saturday, doors closing an hour earlier Sunday, it was after minutes of indecision that Cold Brew was selected to pair with savories, the former rare in Brazil but in this case excellent while both Brazilian Cheese Bread and crispy Tapioca folded around creamy Eggs and Herbs were also well made at a fair price. Slowly enjoying the Eggs while browsing complimentary WiFi, and never rushed by English-fluent staff despite a crowd, it was after enjoying a small Cookie provided with the Coffee that sweets were ordered, the "Croissant with Hazelnut Cream" in reality a masterpiece of lamination ladled with warm Nutella while Santo Pão's signature Banana Cake lived up to its billing with soft layers divided by housemade Dulce de Leche.

Environment/ DECOR- I had a good time there. It has a cozy feel to it with indoor and outdoor option. Perfect quick stop location for a break or for a quick meet up with friends. SERVICE- the waiter was very friendly and nice. Came to check on us and overall good service. WOW FACTOR- nice coffee shop but not a must go. I enjoyed. Hence 4 Stars. OVERALL- nice coffee shop with some baked goods (didn't try this time but maybe soon?). I had a good enjoying my coffee while I seat resting there. Very relaxing feel to the place with a nice background music.

I like this place. Evidenced by the fact that I come here at least once a week, you could say I…read morelike this place a lot. This indoor-outdoor, upscale casual eatery is the kind of neighborhood spot you could frequent on the regular. The food: Is nouveau Brazilian a thing? Well, bra.do does a number of fine dishes that offer a twist on the more traditional plates. I particularly like the peixe korma (tender bits of white fish in a yellow korma sauce and matched with white rice). The bravas potatoes and the bruschetta is great as a starter and the mushroom risotto is good, but rich! So far, I haven't been disappointed with a meal here. It's not vegetarian but they do have a section on the menu for veggie-friendly dishes. The drinks: Full menu of cocktails, beer and wine. When I order wine, I simply ask for the white or red and whatever their house pour is is really good -- especially the red. My guess would be a Malbec or Cab Sauv. The service: Simply the friendliest and most welcoming restaurant in the neighborhood... nay, in the city. Our favorite waiter is Gaspar, but there's also the sweet sweet lady waitress who always dotes on Hanky Bobby. No matter who takes care of us, one thing is for sure: Hanky Bobby gets 2 bowls -- one filled with water and another filled with treats! Dog friendly: Dogs are graciously welcomed to dine outside in the front patio. And like I mentioned, they get their own meals free of charge :) The restaurant is a friend of Fido and so is the staff, prepare to be warmly met when you show up with your pup. Our favorite restaurant in the neighborhood. They often have live music on weekends too!

The staff is very friendly and they can usually accommodate dietary requests of vegans and gluten free diners without a problem, as their meals are simple and freshly made. It's particularly great for lunch or on Thursday evenings when jazz music is played on the terrace. Enjoy the free filtered water in cute glass bottles, as non bottled water is a rarity in this city.
