Izakaya Issa

Japanese restaurant · Liberdade District

"The Japanese neighborhood of Liberdade contains the city’s best izakayas. Issa, led by the incomparably warm Dona Margarida, offers a traditional selection of grilled specialties. Sit at the bar and start with an order of pork ribs with boiled turnip immersed in warm broth. Then explore the diverse menu, from the creamy takoyaki to all kinds of udon. And don’t miss the selection of sake and shochu." - Rafael Tonon

Na cozinha do Più, massas frescas, essência italiana e ingredientes locais ganham destaque."
