This is the best bakery I've found in SP, hands down. I love to try different ones every time…read morebecause you can't go wrong. They're ALL good. I especially recommend their croissants because they're true French-style. They even have really obscure breads like Lussekatter, called saffron rolls here, a sweet traditional breakfast bun for the Lucia Christmas festival in mid-December in Sweden. The restaurant is also very good with lots of nice choices. I've noticed that the portion sizes have increased since they first opened, which was my former reason for not eating here often. This last trip, I got the Croque Madam with pesto and loved it.

The staff is courteous and the array of breads, jams and fresh juices makes the experience very relaxed and even if you are paying a little more for the services and the food it is completely worth it. The portions are large, I had a 'complet' and left about 40% of it. The cakes are moist and it was the first time I had a fluffy pancake in years, delicious but easily 3-4 eggs. Perfect for sharing. The small boutique and bakery is aesthetically open and it is easy to find your way around the marinades. I got two jams and one chutney. Will return on my next trip to São Paulo

They also cook pasta fresh for you if you want it. The atmosphere is that of a cafeteria/diner with an excellent selection of bakery products. I really enjoyed the chicken which was cooked perfectly in a nice sauce but the steak was tough & over cooked. The salad selection was excellent although some of the dishes were tasteless. My biggest complaint is the wifi. As a 'gringo' here in São Paulo you become reliant on the wifi & they required a registration with passport number & email address etc. every other bar/restaurant I have been to has just had a # to login which they have been more than happy to provide. Overall a nice place for a quick meal but don't expect to be blown away.

There are options using matcha, the green tea powder that might look like mold, but can be healthy and add a special flavor to your choice. Price wise it is a little expensive, but comapring to other cake shops you may get better product here for what you pay for. Biggest issue: they are closed on weekends, so no chance if you want to try their sweets in your free time...

I really wanted to like St. Ettiene...really, I did. We stumbled upon it late one weeknight when…read morealmost all other restaurants in this sleepier side of Jardim Paulista were closed. I liked the sidewalk tables, I liked the fact it is open 24 hours. I liked that it had TV' showing football and a little store inside. That's where the liking stops. I have given this place numerous chances and always have a bad experience. The waiters range from detached lethargy to downright anitpathy towards the customers. We were asked to leave once while playing dominos outside *while having desert*. Not a group of drunks gambling, just a couple eating petit gateu and drinking espresso. Another time the had the same show on 6 different TV's, noone was watching any of them, and they staunchly refused to change the channel *to the copa confederacoes game*. They refuse to serve you half creme de manga and half acai, even if you offer to pay for the more expensive item. The forget the maionese every time. The salmon is served raw (no not the sushi) and the 3 real salad is just depressing. Their buffet uses store bottled salad dressing. AND IT'S NOT CHEAP! Aside from the personal affronts to my palate and person, the concept is just far too ambitious to ever work (coming from a former line chef as well). You can't serve Pizza, Sushi, Grill items, Salads, Pastries, Burgers, comida tipica, buffets, etc. ALL FROM THE SAME TINY KITCHEN 24/7. Bela Paulista can pull it off because it is a friekin' well-oiled machine...but these guys, no way. It's all sub-mediocre to downright nasty. Unless it is late at night, you are starving -- and are too drunk or tired to walk another few km's to Bela Paulista -- just do yourself a favor and SKIP this place. The somewhat charming ambience is spoiled by bad costly food and worse service. I don't blame the waiters mind you, as a former waiter myself I acctually sympathize with them as the look real, real unhappy and underpaid. But at the end of the day, this is consistently one of the worst places I have eaten in this lovely city full of GREAT restaurants!

It's generally clean, service is fine, if not a bit spotty at time, and the food is good enough and comes quickly, though sometimes entire pages of the menu will be unavailable for whatever reason.
