Friendly, supremely local and quintessentially São Paulo, it's worth traipsing into the North Zone for this authentic boteco to chase Doña Idalina's house-specialty bolinhos (croquettes; try the beef version, splashed with spicy vinaigrette and fiery malagueta pepper sauce) with ice-cold Original and Serramalte beers – something locals have adored for over 50 years.
It's a R$10 or so off-peak Uber from Metrô Santana.
