Kiki Café
This cozy café is among the best date ideas for animation lovers in SP. Inspired by Studio Ghibli films, especially “Kiki’s Delivery Service”, it offers tasty food and coffee in an environment surrounded by pop culture references.

📍 Rua Bom Pastor, 2224 – Sala 1404 – Ipiranga
Neon Brush
If you or your partner are more creative, it’s worth a visit to Neon Brush, a unique experience with paints, neon light and good drinks to go with it.

📍 Rua Apucarana, 1490 – Tatuapé
Xenê Wine Bar
If you don’t like crowds, Xenê’s colonial townhouse should please you. The space is reminiscent of a backyard and there you can enjoy different types of wine away from the hustle and bustle. Just like Paloma, after all, wine is very romantic!
📍 Rua Simão Álvares, 784, casa 2 – Pinheiros

Domo Bar
If you or your loved one like to enjoy good music, but aren’t much of a clubber, listening bars are a good option.

One tip is Domo Bar, where you can enjoy music straight from vinyl while trying exclusive drinks.
📍 Rua Major Sertório, 452 – Vila Buarque
Candlelight concerts are also great options for dates in SP!
Dating doesn’t have to be romantic, but if that’s what you’re looking for, then a Candlelight concert is ideal for you! After all, few things are as romantic as an intimate setting, illuminated by the light of thousands of candles and connecting through music.
