SAO PAULO: Shopping
JK Iguatemi (Must See / Shopping)
Every luxury good you might want is in this shopping temple. Impressive!
Where to stay
Tivoli São Paulo - Mofarrej
Design hotel with lovely ground floor poolside terrace. Decent prices, especially if booked through
tablethotels.com. Excellent Spanish restaurant on the 23rd floor with amazing view!
Hotel Emiliano Likely to be the best in town. Right on the fancy Rua Oscar Freire. Amazing service. Cosy rooms with design furniture.
Sunset
Vila Maladena Cool hip/art/designer neighborhood. Come in the evening and try some typical boteco brasseries and the picanha beef!
Food
Mr. Baker Into the Itaim area, this little corner bakery does great breakfast and brunch. Don't miss the açaí healthy juice!
Chou Cute little outdoor restaurant (covered for when it rains) with a perfect candle-lit atmosphere for a tête-a-tête or small group
Mani Very laid back ambience, within a quiet atmosphere. A healthy menu, hosting original variations of well-known dishes as well as house specialties that will make it worth your visit!
Le Manjue Bistrô Located in Vila Nova Conceicao area. Charming, with dim lights, fancy/trendy atmosphere. The perfect spot for a date!
At Night
Bar Número Fashionable bar on 2 floors with trendy atmosphere. Best to come with locals: you need to know your way in at the door...
Hotel Unique Not only interesting for the architecture. The bar/restaurant on the rooftop has one of the best views in Sao Paulo.
And, just in case, some of the rooms are really amazing !
