Novo Sabor in Sao Paulo, worth a detour in 2026?

Staying near Pinheiros for a week in March and Novo Sabor keeps coming up. Is it actually worth the trip in 2026, and do I need to book ahead for dinner?

Book 2 weeks out, 8pm slot.

two weeks sounds right for weekends but a tuesday walk-in usually works if u show up around opening

tuesday walk in works but only for the balcao seats, the mesas are usually spoken for. if u want a proper table even midweek just call ahead the same day. why ask here instead of just ringing them lol

idk if it's worth a detour honestly, but the tasting menu changes seasonally so check their insta before u commit

CPF first, no way around it, Nubank won't budge without one. Get it at the Receita Federal or a despachante before you land if you can. Wise or Remitly for transfers beats bank wire fees by a lot.

Agree, but Wise needs your passport verified first, takes a few days

honestly the passport check is the easy part, getting the selfie to pass on teh first try is where ppl get stuck.

the despachante route runs around 200 to 400 reais depending on who u use & is way faster than booking at the Receita yourself

Inter also opens on a CPF, no residency needed

Visa debit works at most card machines but carry some reais for the padaria and street vendors, and grab a local SIM for Pix.
