Restaurants spread across all regions of the capital of São Paulo come together during Restaurant Week to offer menus with starters, main courses and desserts at discounted prices. In total, there are 165 participating addresses, plus 15 in Greater São Paulo — in places such as Guarulhos and São Bernardo do Campo.
The event, held twice a year, is in its 33rd edition. It officially starts for the public on the 24th and lasts for a month, but customers who have the Pluxee card (formerly Sodexo) received exclusive days, from this Thursday (17th) until Wednesday (23rd) — it is necessary to make payment with the brand.
