🇧🇷 Korean food in Sao Paulo doesn't have to be on Korean Street
🥘 In São Paulo, Korean food enthusiasts often face a sweet “problem”: every time they crave Korean delicacies, they have to make a long journey to the Korean street in Brás. For those living near Vila Mariana, this journey can be quite daunting 🤦♀️. But worry not! Today, I’m excited to share a hidden gem of a Korean barbecue restaurant with you—BICOL (빛고을) Korean Cuisine. It’s located very close to Vila Mariana, so you no longer have to travel far for Korean food 🎉! 🍖 As soon as you step into BICOL, you’ll be greeted by a strong Korean vibe. The interior decoration is simple yet stylish. The walls are adorned with Korean posters and traditional elements, creating a cultural ambiance that makes you feel like you've stepped into Korea. The warm yellow lighting is another highlight. It creates a cozy dining atmosphere, making you feel as if you’ve been transported to a small barbecue joint on the streets of South Korea in an instant. It’s the perfect setting for a relaxing meal with friends or family. The waitstaff at BICOL are truly exceptional. They are friendly and attentive, always ready to assist with a smile. They will patiently introduce the dishes to you, explaining the unique flavors and ingredients. What’s more, they even help you grill the meat, ensuring that every piece is cooked to perfection. So you don’t have to worry about grilling it poorly at all 😉. When it comes to the food, BICOL’s Korean barbecue steals the show 👍! The fresh meats are marinated in secret sauces, and every bite is full of rich Korean flavors. The tender and juicy pork belly sizzles on the grill, turning golden and crispy. It's a feast for both the eyes and the nose as the delicious aroma fills the air. Paired with fresh lettuce, pungent garlic slices, and tangy kimchi, and then popped into your mouth in one go, the burst of flavors is simply irresistible 😋! It’s a combination that perfectly balances the richness of the meat with the freshness of the vegetables and the acidity of the kimchi. Besides the amazing barbecue, BICOL also offers other authentic Korean dishes. Their Korean bibimbap is a colorful medley of rice, vegetables, meat, and a fried egg, all mixed together with a savory sauce. And their budae jjigae (army stew) is a hearty and flavorful dish, filled with a variety of ingredients like sausage, tofu, and noodles, simmered in a spicy broth. Both are very authentic and taste superb! 📍 Name: BICOL (빛고을) Korean Cuisine 📍 Address: R. José Getúlio, 422 - Liberdade, São Paulo - SP, 01509-000 💰 Average cost per person: 250 - 300 reais 🌟 If you’re also a fan of Korean food and happen to live in São Paulo, don’t miss out on this hidden gem of a restaurant!
