I'm in Sao Paulo for a week in March 2026 and Novo Sabor keeps coming up when I ask around about good places to eat. Is it worth planning an evening around, and do I need to book ahead or can I just walk in on a weekday?

I've only been to Sao Paulo twice, but the name Novo Sabor doesn't ring any bells for the places people usually send visitors. Double check you've got the right restaurant, since there are a lot of small spots with generic names around Pinheiros and Vila Madalena. If it's a weekday dinner, walk-ins often work before 7pm, but anything with buzz in March tends to fill up, so reserve a day or two out.
