"Not content with running what’s considered one of the world’s best restaurants, A Casa do Porco’s owners have a string of casual joints in downtown São Paulo. O Bar da Dona Onça updates paulistano classics like oxtail with polenta, while Merenda da Cidade serves affordable lunches based on the staff meals at A Casa. And then there’s Hot Pork, which, along with its annex Sorveteria do Centro, does two things brilliantly: hot dogs and ice cream. Go for the bacon and chocolate ice cream, or the strawberry soft serve—it’s the perfect tonic for a boiling São Paulo afternoon." - tome morrissy swan
