Jiquitaia

Top choice in São Paulo


Accolades abound for upstart Brazilian chef Marcelo Bastos and his affordable entry-level into contemporary Brazilian cuisine. Pick any three courses at this cute and cozy bistro-style restaurant to create-your-own set menu (lunch R$55, dinner R$88), including – drum roll, please! – the elusive moqueca (seafood stew) for one person! Sister Nina admirably handles the excellent fresh fruit caipirinhas.
