Pistachio festival and special dishes for SP’s birthday are gastronomic tips

In the week of São Paulo’s 471st birthday, several restaurants prepare special recipes to celebrate the date. This weekend, one of the trendiest ingredients, pistachios, has a festival dedicated to it. See gastronomic tours below.

RESTAURANTS

Bottega Bernacca

Ibirapuera Park gained a new restaurant, located in an area close to gate 5. The space gained a lounge on a wooden deck with a balcony for lunch or dinner amidst the trees. The menu will follow the model of the Italian restaurant with four other units in the city, with emphasis on al dente and fresh dry pasta. Among them, the flagship is the spaghetti cacio e pepe with lemon and bottarga —mullet roe—, which costs R$99.
