Northeastern food is the speciality here including dishes like carne de sol – sun-dried beef served with pumpkin and sweet potatoes. It is moderately priced and there is live forró music every Sunday.
Dining
São Paulo's best restaurants are to be found in the Jardins, Itaim Bibi, Pinheiros, and Vila Madalena neighbourhoods. However, for those on a smaller budget, you can get a delicious hearty meal at side street restaurants called "lanchonetes", which are a mix between a café and a bakery. The best non-Brazilian cuisine tends to be Italian, Middle Eastern, Chinese, and Japanese. The Portuguese restaurants are pretty spectacular too.
