A restaurant opened more than 50 years ago by Zé Almeida, from Pernambuco, in Vila Medeiros, and now run by his son, chef Rodrigo Oliveira. It serves sertão-style dishes such as dadinho de tapioca (tapioca cubes) and carne de sol (sun-dried beef) and is in the 2026 Michelin Guide.
Chef Jefferson Rueda's restaurant on Rua Araújo, dedicated to pork from its own farming system with Brazilian breeds. It combines caipira (country-style) cooking with contemporary techniques and suits those who want to try the porco san zé downtown.
A bar and restaurant on the ground floor of Oscar Niemeyer's Edifício Copan, led by chef Janaína Torres. It serves Brazilian cuisine with countryside flavors, such as picadinho (diced beef stew), to people visiting the historic center.
