Baroque chic with a charming garden, a resident cat and killer cocktails



Step just inside this anonymous doorway on a quiet street near Consolação and you’ve arrived at one of SP’s most venerable and bohemian late night imbibing spots. The highlight is the garden; a quirky space with mis-matched furniture, lights strewn from every vantage point and a shed that doubles up as the bar at the back. Owner Lillian Varella has decorated the main indoor bar with all manner of knick knacks and antiques though the drinks here are a more serious business with the basil caipirinha being a particularly fine reinvention of the de facto Brazilian national drink.
