This bar takes what at most places would be the most banal food - coxinha, roast chicken, polenta,…read moreetc. - and makes it a real delight to eat. Besides that, it has the most complete selection of beers from around the world I've seen in São Paulo. The menu even includes selections of beers if you want to sit down to a beer tasting. Also, they have specials on cases of beer to take home.

Had my first taste of coxinha tonight. I'm definitely a fan! As we wound our way through the maze…read moreon the main level down the stairs to the lower level, I was amazed at how large this place actually is. Just because you see a lot of people, don't be scared away. I'm not a beer drinker, but even I was impressed with the expansive beer selections. Our meat dish and dessert were good, but not out of this world impressive. Overall, go for the beer and the coxinha: and enjoy the company of your friends.

It would take over 10-15 minutes just to get another slice of Picanha, yet they kept bringing bottom sirloin and other cuts. Also, the bottom sirloin was not as good as the other Churrascarias in Sao Paulo (Jardineria, Barbacoa, etc...). The pincaha was still very good at this location, but you could tell they were trying to get rid of their other cuts first. The staff also kept messing up our bill. For the price point and quality of the other cuts, it's just not worth it. There are too many other great Churrascarias around the city. For the record, I only went because of how close it was to my hotel. I'm actually surprised the Fogo de Chao in the states have better quality and service.

The menu isn't terribly extensive, but they have a salad and appetizer buffet. Sitting outside is preferred unless you're bothered by smoking. It's usually very loud inside, and sometimes they have bands. Service is excellent, but only available in Portuguese or Portañol. Otherwise you'll have to use gestures and smiling. The menu portions are enormous, but you can order them "meia porção" which brings the portions down to enough for 2 people. My favorite dishes: -File Mignon a parmigiana -Picanha steak -Frigideira da nona (penne pasta with buffalo mozzarella and crispy meatballs) -Batata especial (a bit like poutine or carne asada fries) -Carne seca balls Drinks to be tried: -Caiprinha (try it with Caetano's cachaca, and try it with caju/maracuya fruits, have them go easy on the sugar too) -Chopp escuro Not open until the afternoon.

After a long day in the office, we wanted a chill, laidback spot to grab some appetizers and drinks…read moreand Cruzeiro's was exactly the place to go. The place is rather large, even though it's tucked back in a mall off Paulista Ave. Their menu is rather large so it took some time to figure out all that we wanted (so many good options!). Our waiter was quite helpful and did guide us to a few items I loved! Their pastels were amazing and the "meat wrapped in something" on the yellow plate in my pic was soooo good! On a scale of 1 - 10, it's a perfect spot to grab some good food and hangout with some of your favorite company :)
