I couldn't finish it so I had the leftovers packed. Despite not speaking English, they managed to do a good job with service. The ambience is sort of hole-in-the-wall and the interior is very very dated. The only problem I had was that they do not have AC and it was kinda hot. Perhaps it is better for dinner.

You could easily overlook this low-key boteco, unless it's a Saturday afternoon, and you are looking somewhere that there is no crowds spill out the door around.

My partner went with a bowl of stewed chicken giblets in a delicious tomato based sauce, and I went with the traditional local specialty for Mondays, the virado a paulista, one of those "whole meal on a single plate" type dishes - their version with a grilled pork chop (slightly overdone, but tasty), deep-fried bacon, housemade linguica sausage, a fried egg, mashed beans, shredded kale, and a bowl of rice on the side. Served up with mini-bottles of housemade hot sauce, which we went through like fiends, and we left quite satisfied for 154 reales, or $41.

O chef foi muito legal e nos apresentou o prato de cortesia que acredito ser o Torresmo.

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.

My experience at Taveres was very pleasant and enjoyable…read more My first impression was the ambiance; dim lighting and hipster decor. Something I very much look to in an enjoyable dining experience. Being a foreigner, I was pretty clueless about where to be seated. A server saw me and allowed me to pick my seat. I ordered a caipirinha to start off and the bacalau for my main course. Though the bacalau was a little salty to my taste, I loved the crispy onions they garnished the dish with. The fish meat was tender but firm. A texture I love. I finished off my meal with their bread pudding as recommended by my server. It was nice as warm with a sweet flavor of almonds and raisins. All the employees in the restaurant were really kind and patient especially since I don't speak Portuguese. They were willing provide me some must sees in Sao Paulo and didn't seem to be bothered by the fact that I had to use Google translate to communicate. I'll definitely be back for a next visit~ Glad Tavares lived up to their excellent reviews.
