Burguers

• Holy Burguer: when I went, the place was tiny and always packed. I was there on holiday, showed up around lunchtime, got there half an hour before they even opened, and there were already four people in line. I tried the burger that’s ranked number 3 in the world, and yeah—it was really good. The pastrami coxinhas are also a must-try.

• Big Kahuna Burger: they call themselves “The Temple of Bacon” and honestly, anything with bacon there is worth trying. They even serve bacon milkshakes.

• Bullguer: its a burguer chain with many units in São Paulo. Very good value for money. I really like their fries and mayo.

Italian

• MoMa (Modern Mamma Osteria): my favorite Italian restaurant in São Paulo, hands down. The Lasanheta de Vitelo is my go-to every single time.

Pizzas

• Veridiana: too many good options. If you want to try something different, there is a Lindt white chocolate pizza that I recommend your order for dessert.

Bakeries

• Jules L’art du Pain: french bakery. Sometimes I’ll hear people speaking french in the line so it must be the real deal. They have my favorite chocolate croissant.

• Feito à Mão: their mortadela french toast is amazing.

Churrascarias/Steak Houses

• Fuego Celeste: amazing quality and a good value for your money.

• Santa Fé: you have to try the Cupim Casqueirado.
