The capital of São Paulo broke London when the theme is the Taste Gastronomy Festival. Although the event has emerged in the British capital in 2004, and already happens in 13 cities in 11 countries, the Brazilian edition, held since 2016, is already the largest of all.

“Last year, we received 72,000 people, almost 50% above second place, which is London,” says Gustavo Oliveira, IMM’s business director, a company that organizes Taste Festival Brasil.

Since last year, Taste has been on three consecutive weekends, but edition 2025 will be the longest because it takes the four days of Corpus Christi’s holiday.

The 28 participating restaurants and bars, selected by curator Luiz Américo Camargo, will bring traditional dishes of their menus, but all developed an exclusive recipe for the festival, with portions that cost from $ 25 to $ 55.
