Itinerary
A true São Paulo classic since 1968, best known for its iconic pork sandwich and old-school downtown bar atmosphere. It is one of those places that captures the city’s popular food culture in a very direct way.
Galeria Metrópole is a landmark modernist building in downtown São Paulo that now blends food, design, art, and creative businesses. The juice kiosks make for a light, everyday local stop inside one of the center’s most distinctive cultural spaces.
A Brazilian restaurant inside Galeria Metrópole led by chef Amanda Vasconcelos, with strong Acrean and Amazonian influences. It is a great stop to showcase regional Brazilian ingredients in a contemporary downtown setting.
A small and very charming spot in the Copan building focused on artisanal pão de queijo made with Canastra cheese and inspired by Minas Gerais tradition. It feels simple, comforting, and very local.
A collaborative initiative in central São Paulo focused on family farming, organic produce, and fairer connections between growers and consumers. It is a strong example of how small producers and urban food culture meet in the city center.
One of São Paulo’s most celebrated restaurants, built around pork-focused Brazilian cuisine and ingredient traceability. It represents a more contemporary and chef-driven side of the city’s food scene while staying deeply rooted in local identity.
A casual cheese shop and deli known for artisanal cheeses, sweets, and cachaças, with a strong Minas Gerais feel. It works well as a stop for introducing small producers and traditional Brazilian pantry items.
An artisanal ice cream shop focused on handmade Brazilian and seasonal flavors, including vegan, lactose-free, and no-sugar options. It is a nice way to highlight local ingredients through a more modern dessert stop.
A traditional produce market known for its wide selection of carefully chosen fruits, vegetables, and everyday grocery staples. It offers a good glimpse into the fresher, more routine side of São Paulo’s food culture.
A relaxed neighborhood bar known for its authentic boteco spirit, cold drinks, and classic bar snacks. It is a great stop to show the social, informal side of São Paulo’s drinking and snacking culture.

We had a fantastic time on this São Paulo food crawl. Marcella was incredibly warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. As someone who regularly seeks out Michelin-starred restaurants, I especially loved that she matched that energy and we were able to really nerd out over fine dining experiences together. Every traditional dish we tasted was excellent, and the pacing of the tour was perfect—well-curated and never rushed. Highly recommend!

Marcela was an amazing tour guide! She provided us with a ton of facts about local fruits and vegetables in a grocery store before walking the streets of São Paulo. During our tour we sampled traditional pastel, pork nuggets, hot dogs, dulce de leche donuts and one of the best pork sandwiches you have ever tasted. If you are visiting São Paulo make sure you take a food tour with Marcela.
