$$$$ Contemporary Pinheiros
Cepa moved from Tatuapé to a square in Pinheiros in 2024, keeping chef couple Lucas Dante and Gabrielli Fleming's menu in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Tip Gabrielli Fleming runs the room and the wine: there is no fixed list, just natural wines from small producers she tracks down, so ask what is open.
$$$$ Contemporary Vila Buarque
Cora occupies a revived sixth-floor space above downtown Sao Paulo, chef Pablo Inca's short, shareable menu earning a Michelin Bib Gourmand seal.
Order Queso de chancho and the lamb empanadas
Tip The building sat empty for over twenty years before this floor was restored to house the dining room and bar.
$$$$ Contemporary Pompeia
Petí Gastronomia is a lunch-only kitchen inside the Pintar art-supply store in Sao Paulo's Pompeia district, run by young chef Victor Dimitrow.
Order The set three-course menu with cover charge, or the version built around the fish of the day.
Tip The menu changes roughly every three weeks; ask which of the four set options is running before you sit down.
$$$$ Contemporary Morumbi
Tangará Jean-Georges sits inside Palácio Tangará facing Burle Marx Park, chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten's only South American room in Sao Paulo.
Order Signature six-course tasting menu
Tip The Ruinart Room, Brazil's first, seats up to fourteen for champagne pairings alongside the tasting menu.
