The 35 Essential São Paulo Restaurants
"While most contemporary Brazilian restaurants focus on the northern regions of the country (especially the Amazon), chef Tuca Mezzomo turns his eyes to the south, where his roots are. The region is best known for its gaúcho culture, which produced the Brazilian-style barbecue that has spread around the world. But Mezzomo proves that there is much more to showcase from the region with his tasting menu, including lightly smoked mushrooms, delicate vegetables, and southern-style charcuterie (kept in a temperature-controlled room) such as umami-rich wagyu bresaola. There are also a la carte options for more relaxed dinners." - Rafael Tonon
