Brunch is a great choice for those days when all you want to do is change a meal. See some specialized addresses
How about a brunch to liven up the weekend ahead? It is a light and relaxed option, which combines breakfast and lunch, and has everything to do with those days when we want to wake up late, but without giving up the possibility of enjoying a good meal. Several cafes, patisseries and restaurants in the capital of São Paulo strive to create special brunch menus, filled with creative and substantive suggestions. Below, take a look at some of them.
Brazilian chaos
Chef Bruno Hoffmann’s new colonial café is served only one Sunday a month, 11am – 3pm (to know the right day, follow @caosbrasilis). For R $ 85 per person, excellent breads come to the table, such as cocoa and coffee bread, brioche mandioquinha and waffle of cheese bread. Along with butter, fruit compote and homemade ricotta, as well as Frios do Caos (ham, terrine, carbonated cheese with cashew molasses and fresh mines).
The purple corn polenta is a special case, as is the iced coconut tapioca cake, which is part of the dessert section. Tip: eat the perfect egg with cassava foam and bottled butter as soon as it arrives on the table (once cooled it loses its flavor completely). Reps and drinks, including coffee, are charged separately.
Where is it: R. Medeiros de Albuquerque, 270, Jardim das Bandeiras. 3037-7431. 19: 00/22: 30 (Sat.12: 30/16: 00 and 19: 00/23: 00; closed Sunday and Monday)
King Kissaten duck
The two units of the Japanese café offer a special brunch menu on weekends. You can order both the combo (R $ 77, includes 3 courses and a drink) and the separate suggestions. Dishes include pdqkko (cheese bread served with kalbi, Korean-style braised beef ribs for 17 hours, kimchi and fried egg, R $ 28), duck bao (duck heart, shiso, pepper jelly sweet and sour and pickles, served on steamed Chinese bread, R $ 30) and katsu sando (sirloin, cabbage, deuso sauce, made with mayonnaise, mustard and okonomiyaki sauce and pickles, R $ 40).
For dessert, the highlight is the corn cookie cheesecake, served with popcorn and miso caramel (R $ 20). In the coffee wing, the highlight is the cold-pressed nitro infusion (R $ 4, for brunch; R $ 16, single), cold-pressed, nitrogen-infused coffee, which results in a cold, creamy drink.
Where is it: Rua Ferreira de Araújo, 353, Pinheiros. 3816-7979. 9:00 am / 6:00 pm (Fri 9:00 am / 10:00 pm Sat 9:00 am / 7:00 pm Sun 9:00 am / 6:00 pm closed Mon). Own deliveries and from Rappi.
Star
Located on the ground floor of the Canopy by Hilton hotel, the restaurant led by chef David Kasparian has taken over brunch service. Served on Sundays, from noon to 4pm, the special brunch (R $ 240 per person, includes beer and sparkling wine) is worth a full meal. While the buffet collects suggestions of bread, fruit, salads, yogurt, cheeses and sausages, proposed as soft pancakes, as well as eggs Benedict, with grilled ham, poached eggs and Hollandaise sauce served on a slice of bread arrive at the table.
The menu also includes some first courses, which change based on the availability of ingredients. Tuna tartare with lemon, beetroot and basil gel, and smoked brisket served with banana farofa and vinaigrette are some of the requests on display this weekend. And for dessert, opt for the chocolate mousse with Brazilian nuts.

botanist
With three locations in the city, the venue has become famous for its brunch menu, served all day. Among the highlights on the menu is the Benedictine selection, which includes options such as seasoned salmon (R $ 42) with orange zest, served on levain bread, poached eggs, and hollandaise sauce.
Other options are avobreak, a sandwich with scrambled eggs, avocado paste, cheddar and watercress, served on brioche bread (R $ 30), and parma parma, made with creamy eggs, raw ham, nutmeg and grana padano ( BRL 44).

Hanami
On Saturdays, from 11:00 to 13:00, the yogashi pastry shop under the command of pastry chef Cesar Yukio offers a Japanese-inspired brunch menu. The menu (R $ 70, includes juice of the day and hot drink) includes suggestions like Hokkaido milk bread slice, served with yuzu butter and jelly, chicken sausage, and scrambled eggs.
The classic cheese bread, on the other hand, took an Asian twist from Yukio’s hands, who replaced the sprinkling with mochi. For dessert, the order is a red fruit parfait with yogurt and muesli, as well as a pastry classic: cream-filled choux pastry. And brunch is also available on Sundays, by reservation.
Where is it: R. Demétrio Ribeiro, 785, Tatuapé. 2675-9300. 12:00 / 19:00 (Saturday 11:00 / 19:00. Sun 11:00 / 16:00). Own deliveries, by iFood and Rappi.
