Antiquarius
The Portuguese dishes are made with love, Brazilian art adorns the walls and the well-chosen antiques add to the air of refinement. It is a popular spot for a business lunch, with more of a mix in the evening.

Bráz
Huge, thin crust pizzas topped high with everything from mozzarella to boar sausage, served in a bustling space that is always full of fun-loving Paulistanos. The chopp (draught beer) is nectar and there is always a waiter on hand to deliver more.

Café Antique
