Nice spot! Cool music and good vibe. São Paulo isn't known for its bagels, but this small food menu…read morefeatures a few unique bagel options for you to enjoy with your beer or cocktail. The space is pretty small, but I like the minimalist/hip design and I kept wondering, "oh, what's that song" whenever the DJ played a new track. Love all the Little Dragon he was playing. Cozy spot for a happy hour and if you have a dog, you guys can hang out at an outdoor table, when it isn't raining, of course.

So I had been wanting to go to Naïve for a long time - it has good yelp reviews and some decent…read morerecommendations - so when Yelp decided to have their December cocktail hour at this place, I was one of the first ones to sign on. The place is unassuming, white lime washed walls, simple with a basic bar and a spartan living room decoration - however one of the serious problems at Naïve is the lack of quality in their drinks. We ordered soem jars of drinks - a Clericot, a Sangria & Mojito - they were all 1 litre jars but quite watered down so its basically as good as drinking fruit juice at your grandma's place. However I decided to be bolder and ordered a Gin & Tonic which they have 2 versions - one made with domestic gin and another with Tanqueray - I ordered the Tanqueray (R$ 23,00) one and when the drink came, I was left wondering as to whether the bartender had just sent me tonic water and forgotten to add the gin. I though I was being picky but when my other friends tried a sip of it, they too thought the same so I went back to the bar and complained to the bartender - as per his opinion he had put in the standard 60ml of gin and it was "fine", decided not to argue and went back to sip my tonic water - he came over later with a shot of gin ("complimentary" as per him) so that I should add it to my drink which did make the drink a whole lot bearable but if I hadn't complained, I would be drinking Tonic water. The music indoors is cool but loud so while you're trying to chat with your friends, you have to hike up your volume to be heard. I wouldn't recommend a visit to Naïve unless you want to drink bottled beer but for that there are better places in the vicinity.

Who makes fresh kettle chips fresh made to order these days? Tell me. Well, before you start to…read morethink when was the last time you had it or if you even had it besides a bag of Lays, stop. There is nothing fancy to this restaurant/bar which stopped their clock on the 80's. Feels like dining inside a bungalow, but the difference is that this bungalow is glass encased and with AC! Wait staff is ancient too, very cordial and know their menu like their back of their palm. Ate Batatas Portuguesas (freshly made kettle fried chips), fried cubed provolone, which were amazeballs! Forget moz sticks, heavy breading, Italian seasoning. It's just plain breading, very light, and cheese was oh-so gooey. Drooling yet? I felt like one of those movies from the 90's where while in the 60-70's this family builds an underground shelter and live decades in it and only 30 years later came out to check post apocalypse.

The location is perfect right next to the best bars on Rua Aspicuelta . The restaurant is set in…read moreand old estate . The outside part is the homes yard. Under many mango trees . The caipirinhas are amazing with really exotic mixes such as passion fruit lichee. Delicious steak and risotto. Staff is attentive and prices are moderate. Overall really recommend except if its really hot out then might not be as comfortable. Only complaint is that the umbrella over the tables were clear plastic and needed cleaned as they were covered in bird poop lol since we were under trees. So dont look up during dinner.

Awesome tree in the front, cool atmosphere! I have been to this Resturant a few years ago and it…read morewas great. But today when we went it's like they forgot how to serve people and cook. We ordered a lemonade, a mixed drink and an appetizer, it seriously took a half hour to get them. Well what ever we were enjoying our company and the atmosphere. We ordered the food after 20 minutes waiting for the appetizer to come but after 40 minutes waiting on the food we asked about it and they only put half the order in, so they say. Needles to say we waited for ever. Oh, and not once did anyone ever come over to our table, we had to wave them down every time. All the past times the food was good too, but we were disappointed in it as well. We will not be going back.

Argentinean empanadas are delicious at this place, both savory and sweet. It was so good we went…read moreback twice. We tried the mozzarella Basil and dried tomato, which is open and shaped like a square. The one with bacon was also quite tasty. A couple of them were fully wrapped, one with whole wheat and veggies. Four is filling to split between two people with a large beer (Quilmes) and room for dessert. Don't skip the alfajores! Absolutely a must! If you had Havanna alfajores, you'll love these sweet biscuit cookies covered in chocolate and layered with dulce de leite. We even got little chocolate puff pastries to take home. They have a display case of delectables and plenty of people do to go orders. They also have delivery. Service is nice and beverages are cold. Definitely with a stop if you are in the area.
