The São Paulo Tasting Tour: Signed by Chef Cidinha Santiago


Package Details

Journey into the flavorful mystique of São Paulo, where ancestral Afro-Brazilian roots, immigrant traditions, and cutting-edge gastronomy blend into a rhythm entirely its own. This curated escape by Chef Cidinha Santiago was designed for travelers seeking depth, cultural richness, and the soulful energy of Brazil’s most expressive culinary capital.

What You Should Know About the Region

São Paulo is a city shaped by many worlds: Italian influences in Jardins, Afro-Paulistano heritage pulsing through markets and family kitchens, and the Amazonian and Northeastern migrations that redefined its tables. Its neighborhoods reveal a mosaic of flavors, artistry, and multicultural stories that unfold through every dish.

Here, days flow between art walks on Paulista, bohemian corners of Vila Madalena, and serene moments in Ibirapuera’s gardens. This is a place where food becomes memory, identity, and discovery—an invitation to savor the city slowly and intentionally.

Local Cuisine

Paulistano cuisine is generous, diverse, and deeply tied to Brazil’s cultural fabric. Expect tropical breakfasts, vibrant market tastings, and dishes highlighting ingredients such as jambu, tucupi, farinha d’água, and fresh Amazonian fish. Italian traditions meet Brazilian biome flavors, and Afro-Brazilian techniques bring warmth and history to the table.

From rustic market bites to refined tasting menus in São Paulo’s culinary temples, each meal reflects Chef Cidinha’s philosophy: food as heritage, affection, and storytelling.
