Viena

Viena was founded 30 years ago. At the beginnig it was just a little kiosk, but now it has more than 65 establishments distributed between São Paulo and Rio.

We have a Viena restaurant at Iguatemi. Its located in Avenue Brigadeiro Faria Lima, 2.232, Cep: 01451-000, in Jardins and the phone number is 3815-4933.

It works from Monday to Thursday at 11:45 to 22:30. On Fridays and Saturdays it works from 11:45 to 23:00. On Sunday it opens from 12 to 22:30.

There is a viena in Rio, Campinas and in many malls of São Paulo.

Their Menu includes many kinds of fresh salad, pizzas, sandwiches, tradicional dishes, pies, arabian, japanese and french food. You can choose À la carte or Buffet.

Some of the typical dishes are: fettuccine, strogonoff, many kinds of salad, gnocchi, calzones, a big variety of fishes and grilled meat.

A good choice is hommus an delicious arabian food.It is made of Chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, Olive oil and garlic. It comes with tiny toasts and lettuce.

They have a fancy, calm decoration; with a crisp, white tablecloth.

The atmosphere is really pleasant and calm because the majority of the people are adults or teenagers, so we don’t have problems with high noises.

The service is pretty good at Viena, the waiters are treined and simpatetic with people, that make you feel confortable.

A good suggestion of food is Boeuf Bourguignon a french dish made of meat and Bourgogne wine. Its served with rice or mashed potatoes.

It’s not a good idea to go to Viena for lunch at Sunday, because its really crowed. But in the other days you will enjoy it for sure.

It’s a simple, but famous sandwich house founded in 1956 in Oscar Freire Street, popularly called Frevinho. It’s a small place, never empty, where the service is pretty good. Everybody in there is always paying attention on their costumers. The atmosphere is nice and the decoration isn’t anything unforgettable although is pretty clean, nothing new because it seems that the place is the same of the 60th’s, pretty common. There is a big variety of sandwiches, juices and food, the house is famous for its Beiruths, which, by the way are the best in São Paulo. All Frevo’s costumers come back and become faithful clients, it’s a great place to hang out with friends or with the family because it’s a very comfortable and nice place. The prices are reasonable depending of the food you have ordered, a simple Cheeseburger is R$8,00 and the simpler Beiruth is at least R$13,00.

I recommend for people who have a delicate taste the Carpaccio Beiruth, it’s pretty good and tasty; and for vegetarian people try Naturalíssimo, a Beiruth too, wonderfully tasty, and full of salad ingredients all pretty fresh. There’s a great Beiruth called Double that takes fillet mignon, bacon, cheese and tomatoes, that is wonderfully good. The juices there are all natural and fresh. There aren’t lots of kinds of desserts, but the ones offered are nice like the Sundae, or any other ice cream or fruit.

Frevo has two more establishments, one in Augusta Street, and the other in Iguatemi Shopping. One bad thing about it is that, on weekends (at night) is really crowded, but it is worth wait! It is definitely a great place for all kinds of taste.

Lanchonete Da Cidade is definitely the best house of hamburgers in São Paulo. Elected three times the best house os hamburger by the journal VEJA. Located in the Jardins, the place is a mixture of the 60’s for example the decoration of the tables, the illumination and the windows with a modern architecture. The atmosphere is great, very informal and cozy and all the waiters are polite and efficient. But the best is in the menu, among more than 30 options of hamburgers the most famous is the Bombom, 220 grams of noble meat covered with fresh tomatoe sauce and served on French bread, cheese, salad and bacon may be chosen as a complement. Another option is the Supimpa, for those who like bacon and onions, served with onions and covered with cheese from the house. And for those who like salads they have a great variety and a good option is the Caesar Piu Piu, made of lettuce with slices of grilled chicken, croutons, parmesan cheese and a pasta of salsa aliche. For dessert they have the Taça Manhattan, served with one or two balls of Häagen-Dazs ice cream and a delicious brownie covered with chocolate syrup.

As the younger brother of another famous restaurant (Spot), Ritz is the best place if you want somewhere that serves every kind of food.

It’s fun even if you arrive late (it opens at 1 p.m) and have to wait for a table. You can order for a helping of its famous fried “rice-cake” and sit in front of the bar, just looking at the modern people who enter the restaurant.

The best thing served in Ritz is the cheeseburger: the best in São Paulo. You can choose from the basic one, or the Jubileus Burger’, with melted cheese, american lettuce, slices of ripe tomatoes and delicious onion rings inside it. The three mini-hamburgers with three different types of sauces are really good too. And you can choose between a bowl of fresh salad, potato fries, onion rings and fried “rice-cakes” to come with your burger.

But you should definitely prove Ritz’s pastas. The best one is the penne served with all kinds of mushrooms and a salty sauce made of cheese, but the penne with aspargos is also really tasty.

And you must order the Chocolove as the dessert: a big bowl of exquisite chocolate ice cream topped with whipped cream and crunchy chocolate chip cookies dunked in it. Oh, and a really sweet cherry on the top! The marvelous sweet apfelstrudel (a kind of apple cake) with a homemade taste is a huge success too. Or, if you are on a diet, you might want to choose the “Frutas da Estação”, some fresh ripe fruits with vanilla ice cream, kind of tasty and light (honestly, not too much!).

Don`t forget the extraordinary good juices and drinks. And remember to go there by the launch time. At night, the Jardins’s restaurant (there are two Ritz) is very crowded and it becomes a GLS’s place. But it’s still fun!

That`s what I like about Ritz: the service is fast and efficient (the waiters are all young and really beautiful: one has appeared in G! Magazine!), the food is amazingly tasty, you can meet every kind of people and the British decoration, with a pub’s atmosphere, never loses its charm!

Rockets is the best place if you are a 60’s like person; black and white floor, jukebox; or if you are a good hamburger appreciator.

Rockets is located in São Paulo, Brazil and it is a restaurant fully decorated with the teme 60’s. It has jukebox, black and white floor, posters of famous people from the 60’s like Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley and others.

Is is not all about style, the food there is the best 60’s food ever. Everything you can imagine when it comes to your mind fast foods from the 60’s, like hamburgers, shakes, fries and why not the waiters!

It is located on Alameda Lorena, 2090, and it is well located next to Paulista Avenue, but it is close to Rebouças Avenue, so you may have some problems with Parking and traffic jam, but they have a parking lot.

Great place, great food.

              Achapa Hot Dog® is a hamburger specialized restaurant founded in the 60s, being one of the first in its category on São Paulo. When the hamburger showed itself successful in the USA, Achapa brought it to São Paulo. Traditional, unique and insuperable in quality, it uses the best ingredients on its handmade hamburgers.

             On the menu, customers can choose between many different types of hamburgers and sandwiches, with hundreds of types of sides, like fresh fries and onion rings. For those who prefer a salad, Achapa is the right place too; it offers a great variety of fresh vegetables served with delicious sauces. To drink you can choose between natural juices, soft drinks, but the house’s specialty is the milk-shake. You’re able to mount your own meal: you choose the sandwich ingredients, the sides, the drinks and the dessert.            

             Good examples of the famous sandwiches served on Achapa are the classic Monster Burger, with 50% less fat than the tradicional; the “Batatas Country Wedges”; the exclusive “Onion Straws” and the all new line of “Low Carb Salads”. The “Philly Melt” and the “Garden Filet Mignon” can also be included. Another brand new sandwich is the “Danger Max Dog”, typical from the border of the USA with Mexico, made by sausage, mayonnaise and bacon. The most famous drink from the house is the “Oreo Shake”, a blend of vanilla ice cream and Oreo cookies.

             Achapa has always been innovative: it is the brand new hot spot of Jardins. The frequency couldn’t be better. People from all ages (kids, teens, adults and even old people) come to Achapa only trying to have a good meal and talk with the family or friends. Everyone has a great time at Achapa!

            The metal and wood decoration makes the place relaxing and very informal. When you’re there it’s like if you were on the famous old burger stores on the 60’s. Not everything looks like the golden age of burger: waiters uses palmtops to sign your order in and instead of jukebox, modern speakers play contenporany music. It combines the best of two ages. 

             But not everything in this restaurant is good. For example: the burgers are too fatty and the pictures not always represent what will come to your table. The place is frequently too crowded and if you want to eat on Saturday, you’d better arrive at least one hour earlier. Don’t expect to stop your car in front of Achapa, the nearest you park your car is usually two or three blocks far.

             Achapa Hot Dog can be found at Av. Lins de Vanconcelos, 1353 (11) 3399-2332, Rua Heitor Peixoto, 478 (11) 3277-6866, Alameda Santos, 24 (11) 3289-0011, Rua Dr. Melo Alves, 238 (11) 3085-0521. Open from 12 PM until 2AM from Monday to Thursday, until 3AM on Fridays and Saturdays and until 1:30 AM on Sundays. Check on www.achapa.com.br the credit cards and tickets accepted.
