Is ifoof in Sao Paulo worth visiting in 2026?

fmd_goodifoof · #reservation #restaurant #food
Stopping in Sao Paulo for a few days in 2026 and ifoof keeps coming up. Is it actually worth the trip out there, and what should I order? Also, do I need a reservation or can I just walk in?

The couvert is legal and usually printed on a small card or menu, so check for it before ordering, but random items appearing means you were worked.

Couvert card usually comes with the menu, ask upfront

Asking upfront works, though plenty of places near CSa only hand over the couvert card after you sit and order drinks.

Yeah the printed card is the tell, but random items still showing up means they were padding the tab, not just charging couvert.

Padded tabs happen, but check the nota fiscal too

Fair point on teh card. But honestly the nota fiscal is what settles it, ask for it when you pay.

Card's often in Portuguese only, so tourists miss it.
