If you have an address that is undeniable in the city, this place is the blush . The restaurant recently completed one year of life and, amazingly, not a single day goes by that the house doesn’t fill up.
The success of number 344 on Rua Amaral Gurgel is the combination of several factors: a menu of those small, accurate and with very fresh products prepared by the chef Pablo Inca ; cordial and no-frills service; relaxed and at the same time cool atmosphere on a rooftop overlooking the Minhocão; letter of signature drinks signed by Gunter Sarfert ; and menu of wines handpicked by sommeliers Gabriela Monteleone and Camila Ciganda .
Bingo! There’s the combo that conquers foodies and visitors and put Minhocão on the route of gastronomy in São Paulo.
The good news is that now, only at sundays Cora opens earlier and starts to offer brunch from 10 am to 12:30 pm. Then the house remains open but with lunch items.
With the same concept as the house’s daily menu, chef Pablo explores flavors and textures in recipes that can be shared at the center of the table.
The options are yogurt with homemade granola with almonds and amaranth (R$22); fruit bowl (R$24); grilled pan stuffed with reblochon cheese from Serra das Antas (R$28); medialunas (R$14); sesame bread with guanciale and egg with soft yolk (R$28).
There is also the very well seasoned and served shakshuka (also known as eggs in purgatory – R$39); tostada with cream patinava and toasted zucchini (R$32) and a light and refreshing salad of apple, celery, radicchio, sheep’s cheese and pecan (R$32).
To sweeten: French toast, mascarpone and strawberries (R$26), cornstarch alfajor and dulce de leche (R$24) or pastafrola, traditional Argentine pie (R$24).
Among the beverage options, microlot coffee brewed at the table (R$14); refreshment or juice of the day (R$14) and drinks made especially for the occasion such as Boteco Sour made with Cynar, Amburana cachaça, lemon and sugar (R$32) or Anita made with orange juice, bourbon and Apérol (R$36) .
Lovers of the most classic drinks can choose between Mimosa (R$32) or Negroni Sbagliato (R$35).
