Sao Paulo 🇧🇷 Chinese breakfast | Tofu and meat buns

🏠 Lanzhou Restaurante 🗺️ R. Furnas, 231 - Brooklin, São Paulo - SP, 04562-050 A Taste of Homely Chinese Comfort Lately, I’ve been obsessed with these unpretentious Chinese gems—and this place delivers exactly that: one bite of homeland nostalgia. Any Chinese person who’s stayed in São Paulo knows this spot. It’s surrounded by Chinese-funded enterprises, making it a go-to for expats craving familiar flavors. While the city is flooded with Cantonese restaurants, Lanzhou Restaurante stands out as one of the few serving Northwestern Chinese cuisine—and the only one I know offering Northern-style breakfast! (There are plenty of Southern-style spots for dim sum and rice noodles, but Northern breakfast is rare.) 🍽️ What to Order For lunch/dinner, my colleagues and I always go for the signature dishes: huge portions of spicy cumin lamb or the classic "big plate chicken" (dapanji), paired with hearty lamb offal soup. But let’s talk breakfast—my absolute favorite. Sink your teeth into meat buns or roujiamo (meat-stuffed flatbread), grab a crispy youtiao (fried dough stick), and wash it down with a warm bowl of soybean milk. It’s so comforting—like a warm hug for your Chinese stomach. Weekends are made for waking up late and enjoying this carb-loaded "Chinese brunch"—pure bliss! 💰 Price & Tips Average spend: 40 R$ per person Pro tip: They’re usually closed on Tuesdays—don’t make a wasted trip! #ChineseCuisine #NostalgicEats #SaoPauloFood #BreakfastGoals #ComfortFood
