I didn't give this place five stars because it's perfect, but because there are so few places like…read moreit. * Serves a full menu 24 hours a day * Huge menu, so there's no fighting over whether you should pick a restaurant * Huge space, so there's always somewhere to sit In particular, it's a great place for late nights when other restaurants have closed or for brunch because there are many breakfast options alongside all the standard lanchonete fare. 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.

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.

Came here really quick for a coffee break and I enjoyed what I had…read more Here is the breakdown: Coffee- was great, standard, not the must have but when you want to have a casual coffee break it is a fun spot to be at. 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.

Considering Portugal's enduring influence of Brazil there is no surprise that culinary crossover…read morestill exists today, and at B.LEM Portuguese Bakery many traditional Pastries can be found served alongside local favorites such as Pao de Queijo plus Sandwiches and even Pasta. Boasting three locations in São Paulo, that on Rua Afonso Braz proving most convenient with an 08h00 daily opening, it was shortly thereafter that the space was found long, narrow and friendly, staff not speaking a bit of English but plenty helpful in procuring items from the case while Google Translate via complimentary Wi-Fi provided assistance. Offering no shortage of options, the majority 4-10 Real ($1.00-$2.50) and made daily with fresh Ingredients including free-range Eggs, it was after a quick re-heat that two Salt Cod Pastries started things off, the baked Empada light and enriched with Butter while a fried Bolinho also fared well with all the expected flavor and very little oiliness. Next looking at B.LEM's interpretation of two Brazilian staples, the Cheese Bread a bit bland compared to others in São Paulo while Pao de Leite was springy and great with Jam, it is under the title "Pastel B. Lem" that Pastel de Nata are sold, the Egg Custard still warm and semi-liquid whether in its traditional or indistinguishable artificially sweetened form. Impressed with the finely-layered Shell, and finding similar filled with pureed White Beans and Almonds under the title "Pastel de Torres," it was after an unremarkable Cinnamon Rooll that two additional Portuguese traditions were explored, the "Bola de Berlim" essentially a Donut filled with housemade Dulce de Leche Custard while Salame de Chocolate offered Cocoa wrapped around Biscotti and a hint of Port.

I ordered the ribeye that was delicious, but you have to order it medium/ao ponto, as they undercook the meat in Brazil. Accompanied the steak with mashed potatoes and a glass of Catena Malbec. With tip came to $75US--worth it. Same meal in USA would easily be $125. Right around the corner from the Fasano Hotel where I stayed and very nice ambience--cool historic tree as you enter the premises along with a nice bar area and kitchen where you can view them preparing and cooking the steaks.

I fully appreciated the blanket and heaters that were brought over as it was a chilly evening, yet we were still "indoors" but not. Service was impeccable, with every member of the staff ensuring our experience was top notch and food met our expectations. I chose the slowly roasted beef ribs rice and was not expecting savory goodness that arrived! The beef ribs melted in my mouth and the rice was so incredibly flavorful - I would order this over and over again! Of all the restaurants I've been to, Figueira Rubaiyat has by far the one of the most extensive wine list I've seen, featuring many different wines from around the world, including Brazil of course! There is also a gift shop that should not be missed because of the very unique items that are found here - and a place I'll need to visit next time I'm in the area again! The entire experience is one that should not be missed. Every detail and every bite was absolute perfection!
