Sao Paulo 🇧🇷 Vietnamese cuisine | Paired with seafood peanut butter

🏠 Bánh Mì Vietnam 🗺️ R. Dr. Seng, 44 - Bela Vista, São Paulo - SP, 01331-020 🍴 The Vietnamese Spot That Broke My "New Place Addiction" As someone who usually avoids revisiting restaurants (hello, FOMO!), this joint has won me over 3-4 times already. Why? It's rare to find Vietnamese spots that nail spring rolls, and the vibe here is just chef's kiss—even for a cuisine that's pretty niche in São Paulo. 🥢 Spring Rolls That Make Dipping Sauce the Hero Our order: bun (noodle salad), pho (soup noodles), and a spring roll each. The game-changer? Their dipping sauces—seafood sauce sprinkled with crushed peanuts, plus a fiery chili paste. Since spring rolls are basically flavor-neutral, the sauce is everything 🤌 Other places half-ass this, but here? Total perfection for spring roll addicts. 🥖 Bánh Mì: When Colonial History Meets Your Tastebuds Tried their Bánh Mì sandwich: French baguette stuffed with... chicken liver pate! Yep, that's the French colonial influence. The pate has a slight gamey edge, but if you can roll with that, it's creamy heaven. Spreading it on the baguette? Like eating a bite of history (with a side of umami). 🍵 Southeast Asian Beverage Roulette I went for jasmine tea (comes in a pot, great for sharing), but their signature drink is a ginger-lemon-lemongrass mix (can't remember the name). Warning: that Southeast Asian zing is polarizing—my friend made a face, but I loved the citrusy kick 😂 🏡 A Three-Story Home Turned Cozy Eatery Tucked in a quiet alley, this place used to be a house! It has three floors and a tiny garden. This post's pics are from the dining floor—apparently the upper/lower floors are for events. Saving that for the next post! Pro tip: The sunlight streaming through the windows makes every meal feel like a home-cooked feast. 💰 Cheap Eats with a Side of Atmosphere 89 BRL per person? Steal alert! Especially in Bela Vista. Good food, cool space, and a bonus history lesson in every bite. Next time, bringing all my foodie friends here—no exceptions! #VietnameseCuisine #GlobalFoodieJourney #ExpatLife #RestaurantHopping
