Discovering Brazilian Flavors of Sao Paulo

If the hustle and bustle of a megacity is all you need to have a great time in Brazil, come to Sao Paulo. Are you ready to discover its gastro culture with Eatagram?

Sao Paulo, the capital city of Brazil’s state Sao Paulo, is a flourishing metropolis located along the banks of the Tiete River. Its modern skyscrapers and high-tech bridges over the river are really impressive. Local restaurants benefit from the city’s riverside location, offering visitors al fresco dining opportunities.

So, what to try first as you set foot in Sao Paulo? Start your day with freshly brewed Brazilian espresso cafézinho.

If you’re a meat enthusiast, you’ll fall in love with feijoada, the traditional Brazilian stew with African origin. It features black beans and smoked sausage or bacon. In local restaurants, they serve it in a clay pot and garnish with a slice of orange and sometimes with a side of rice or farofa. It has a mesmerizing wine-purple color and smells like heaven. If you prefer street food, be sure to try the irresistible mortadella sandwich. Coxinha, a palate of mouth watering breaded chicken cones, is another must-try.

Seafood lovers will enjoy pastel de bacalhau, delicate codfish croquettes.

Refreshing drinks are an essential part of the diet of Sao Paulo with its subtropical climate. We prefer caipirinha, Brazil's authentic cocktail made with cachaça, lime, and brown sugar.

If you can’t go without a dessert, try the iconic Açaí Bowl. This Brazilian smoothie features frozen açaí berries, pureed and topped with granola, honey, and fresh fruit. And don’t miss on luxuriating in brigadeiro, the iconic Brazilian confectionery. These delicate chocolate balls are made with condensed milk, cocoa powder, butter, and a chocolate sprinkles coating. We adore them! Just in case you love custard, the classic coconut flavored quindim is another must-try.

Come to Sao Paulo and feel its unparalleled vibes!
