Sao Paulo 🇧🇷 Weekend | Portuguese restaurant in a vineyard

🏠 Don Patto Village (Vila Don Patto) 🗺️ Estrada do Vinho, KM 2,5 - Jardim Villaca, São Roque - SP, 18145-002 🌿 A Rustic Feast in Nature’s Lap With five of us not too hungry, we shared a salad and a 2–3 person serving of bacalhoada—a traditional Portuguese cod stew that’s a staple in Brazil. Picture flaky salted cod (pre-soaked to remove the brininess), slow-cooked with olive oil, onions, garlic, tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and olives 🐟. The result? A hearty, flavorful dish that’s especially popular during holidays like Holy Week and Christmas. 🥘 The Star Dish: Bacalhoada Breakdown Key Ingredients: Desalted cod, root vegetables, and a tangy tomato base Flavor Profile: Salty-sweet notes from the cod, balanced by the earthiness of potatoes and brightness of olives Portion Warning: We ordered for 2–3, but it easily fed five as a shared main—portions here are massive! 🍾 House-Made Bubbles & Sweet Endings Don’t miss their house-label prosecco, "DON PATTO SELEZIONE PROSECCO DEM"—chilled to perfection, it’s crisp, fruity, and ideal for hot days 🌞. At 59 BRL per bottle, it’s a steal. For dessert, the pastel de nata (Portuguese custard tarts) are a must: 13 BRL each, or get 6 for the price of 5 (hello, buy-five-get-one-free deal! 🥧). 💸 Pricing & Pro Tips Per Person: 124.66 BRL, including 12% service charge Order Smart: Portions are huge—skip over-ordering unless you’re famished Service Note: The service fee is included, so no need to tip extra Set in a garden-like setting, this spot blends rustic charm with hearty Portuguese-Brazilian fare. It’s the kind of place where you linger over food, wine, and conversation, surrounded by nature. Perfect for a relaxed lunch or a festive group meal! #GardenRestaurant #NatureDining #RusticCuisine #ExpatLife
