How to get:
Since we are in a region where there are two large concert halls and a mega city transport station, it is best to go by subway or bus. Cars may have difficulty finding parking on the street (betting on Barra Funda is not recommended), but of course there are parking lots.
The Memorial itself has few internal vacancies. So the best thing is to pay prices ranging from R$60 to R$100 on show days and leave it in one of the nearby car parks:

DoRo Gastronomy
Quickly leaving the show, there is time to see this very cute little house in Perdizes open. Led by chef Matheus Buosi, the cuisine is Italian inspired. It is worth knowing that there is also a bet on breakfast, starting from 8:00. Dinner entree options include burrata accompanied by mango vinaigrette and naturally fermented Italian bread.
The recommended main courses are the traditional pork sausage meatloaf, stuffed with mozzarella, served with artisan pasta in an Italian tomato sauce, and desserts that surprise for their delicacy, such as the 54% Belgian chocolate mousse with almond farofa and meringue Swiss.

Cod, Wine and Co.
A restaurant that has specialized in cod for almost 50 years, with 99% of its dishes focusing on fish, deserves respect. There are 16 completely Portuguese recipes.
The raw material is already an element of differentiation: the gadus morhua species is fished in the waters of the North Atlantic and transformed into cod in the city of Porto, in northern Portugal. It arrives at the restaurant and, cut into thin slices, undergoes a desalination process that lasts 96 hours: it is important that it is in cold water so that the consistency and freshness of the freshly caught fish is found.
The menu of “Barra Funda’s famous cod,” as the Pallas family restaurant is called, highlights dishes served in chips (average R$140 for an individual plate) and sliced, as grilled à la mode, baked or Zé do Pipo (R$ 170).

The cowboy bar
A bar that enhances western, country, cowboy culture… There are two very favorable conditions: the place only closes at 3 am and it is close to Espaço Unimed. In short, there is time to eat in complete tranquility after the show.
The venue, self-titled “the largest rodeo-themed bar in Brazil”, serves beers, snacks and also guarantees live music. The decor follows the style of nearby Vila Country: a rustic, relaxed look, with a Wild West cowboy theme. The dishes are related to Brazilian cuisine.
Service:
Until 3 in the morning

The Baianeira
For those who want to reverse the order and have lunch before the show, here is a good option. The A Baianeira restaurant, very close to Espaço Unimed, is welcoming, rarely full and offers a reasonably priced menu.
The meats in special dishes or the sandwiches, always in generous portions, are a characteristic of the place. It’s worth seeing, but it closes at night. Also open for breakfast.

Lady and the Tramp Bar
A curious name that makes the experience even more interesting. The place is a bar, but a chic bar that has already won awards. In fact, on the menu it even says: “We are a bar, not a restaurant”. In other words, for fast hunger and long drinks.
Beers (craft or otherwise) and drinks (many designer) are good options with meat and other snacks. The sausage snack with chimichurri and onion is already popular among customers. A good drink with a balanced alcohol content is the boulevardier.
