Bolinhos De Bacalhau Draft Beer Happy Hour Cold Draft Beer Alheira Gratinated Codfish Picadinho Portuguese Bar Codfish In A Small Pot Duck Rice

Aug 30, 2026"Chic spot, very expensive maybe not worth it for what you get. We spent over R$300 for a “cheap” bottle of wine, three chope (half beers), a small sandwich and one portion of bolinho de bacalhau. at a modest restaurant the same would cost maybe half that price. The bolinhos were good but small for the price."

Jul 22, 2026"Portuguese restaurant with a very good Cod Fish and many other options. Nice place and environment"

Jun 25, 2026"Excellent experience! I was visiting Sao Paulo and a friend suggested this place. The ambiance was party-like with nicely casual dressed locals having a good time, lots of conversation and drinks so do not expect a quiet evening… the bustle is fun and filled with locals. The food was delicious, I tried the octopus and Steak Madeira because my server Halan suggested and he was right. Perfectly done steak and delicious Madeira sauce. Halan and the other staff were prompt and so attentive… I will come here every time I visit Sao Paulo."
