Special coffee goes beyond the confines of coffee shops and is present on the menus of restaurants in the city of São Paulo. Discover a selection
Whether it’s espresso, filtered, iced, pure or with milk, the fact is that coffee is a perfect companion for any time of day. And it can also be a nice ending to a meal.
With this in mind, restaurants have increasingly invested in a good selection of coffees. “It’s the last thing the customer asks in the restaurant. If the coffee doesn’t match the rest of the meal, you can end the experience,” says chef Fellipe Zanuto, of the Hospedaria restaurant. As restaurants are increasingly looking for good ingredients, “it is only fitting that this concern extends to the quality of the coffee served,” says consultant and curator Dany Simon, head of the Cora restaurant’s coffee service.
Rather than investing in quality coffees, restaurants are also looking for beans with more complex notes and aromas, many of which come from small producers. “The idea is to show that coffee can go beyond what you’re used to and deliver a good experience,” says Simon. Then, he checks out a selection of restaurants where coffee is worth ordering after meals.
Cuia Cafe
Located in the Megafauna bookshop, in the iconic Copan building, the address led by chef Bel Coelho presents a selection of coffees from small Brazilian producers, curated by Oop Cafés Especiais, of Belo Horizonte (MG). Among the proposals we highlight the coadão (R $ 7), extracted from a blend of red catuaí by Venda Nova do Imigrante (ES), with notes of brown sugar, caramel and nuts, and the microlot (R $ 9) yellow catuaí 62 , with notes of caramel and slight acidity, produced in Lúna (ES).

Inn
Under the command of chef Fellipe Zanuto, the restaurant that celebrates the cuisine of immigrants could not exclude coffee from the menu: many of them came to work on the coffee plantations.
