The city of São Paulo offers several options for brunch in all areas of the city. But if you’re looking for an intimate and personalized experience, our recommendation is the Cantareira Brunch, which takes place monthly in the north of the capital.
Unlike most, it doesn’t take place in a café or restaurant, but in a charming house in a condominium at the foot of the Serra da Cantareira. So yes, the idea is to have a meal in the home of strangers! More specifically the couple João and Patrícia, who welcome guests with a complete, homemade and tasty menu in a cozy environment full of nature. Check out the details!
Meet the Cantareira Brunch!
The idea came about in 2014, when the hosts decided to have open meals to meet new people. What started as a hobby ended up growing, and today João and Patrícia receive dozens of people at their home, who are welcomed with the same friendliness as at the beginning.
The experience lasts from 10am to 3pm, with two meals. First, breakfast, with bread, cheese, homemade cakes, eggs, fruit, coffee and much more. Then lunch which includes a salad, main course (with a vegetarian option) and dessert. Both are free buffets, so you can try a bit of everything!
The idea is for visitors to interact with each other, so the tables are shared. It’s the perfect opportunity to meet new people while enjoying a tasty meal! That’s why João and Patrícia assure us: you don’t have to be with anyone to enjoy it. If you want to go alone, you’re also very welcome.
In between meals, feel free to explore the little corners of the house. There are hammocks to relax in, a piano and lots of books available, as well as, of course, an incredible view of the Serra da Cantareira.
How to go?
The brunch costs R$190 per person, which entitles you to everything we’ve described so far. The address is only disclosed after booking, which can be done via social media. But the couple say they are in the town of Mairiporã, 15 minutes from Tremembé.
The terrain is uneven and has many unprotected windows, so the experience is recommended for people over 16. Pets are not allowed.
