The 26 Best Restaurants In São Paulo - São Paulo - The Infatuation

"This unassuming spot in well-to-do Paraíso is a local institution. Lunchtime is crowded, and the service is brisk. (Even the signage has attitude, and don’t even think about grabbing a table before your whole party has arrived.) But the food is superb. The kibe—a meat croquette that’s crisp on the outside but warm and tender inside—is one of the best in town, and the dips are great, from thick, creamy labneh to silky baba ganoush with just a suggestion of smoke. Falafel and kafta are popular mains, though the fatte is a must. This huge bowl of slow-cooked beef, chickpeas, and flatbread is served with crispy fried garlic. It’s a rarity in São Paulo’s many Middle Eastern restaurants, so it’s worth saving room for it." - tome morrissy swan

"You will regularly find a line of people snaking out the door of Tenda do Nilo, a good indication of the quality within. The shop, run by sisters Olinda and Xmune Isper, prepares excellent falafel, crisp on the outside and pillowy in the center. The muhammara (red pepper with walnuts) and baba ghanoush never disappoint either." - Rafael Tonon

This is so delicious that you will have no regrets waiting for seats and the food! Fried kibbe contains onion which makes it so juicy and flavorful, and the espeto is wonderfully moist as well. Order the hummus and especially the muhammara, you won’t regret it. And of course pita bread to mop everything up.

Impeccable service and high-quality food. It’s impressive how they do everything with so much love and dedication. The food is amazing you can truly feel the care they put into every detail. The service is impeccable as well. They clearly have so much love for their business, their clients, and everything they create.

If you want a true Lebanese experience, this is the place to go. The food is incredible, no matter what you order. And the staff is super friendly, they will help you choose and also teach you how to eat like a Lebanese.

Esfihas are tasteful, slightly tastier than the average. Service is good. The price, though, is not attractive. A once in a while visit may be fine for esfihas lovers. Oftentimes, the wait is long enough to make you regret going there. My advice: have a plan B in case you turn into Hulk when you are hungry.

100% authentic food, owners and place. You might walk past its low key looks. But boy does it have fabulous falafel, baba ganoush and super cute family owners (chatty him and charmingly bossy her). The walla are lined with praise from international magazines e.g The Guardian for a reason!

This tiny restaurant has a simple space and a big reputation. They are famous for their delicious spreads, such as hummus, babaganoush, and coalhada seca (labneh). Some of their kibes and other meat dishes are beloved by my sister, though I can’t personally vouch for them. The two big drawbacks for me are the lack of esfihas and the long long wait that you’ll have to endure to come here. That’s why I rarely ever come.

I’m not a big fan of Libaneses food but this one is really good. But the waiting time is way too long (45 minutes in my case). The owner is very kind and speaks English and even French.

Their kibbe is worth the wait!
