For those of us who can’t wait for the sunny summer days, the idea of enjoying a nice meal, with a refreshing drink in hand and a
charming balcony to cozy up on seems too good to be true. But it doesn’t have to be:
many restaurants in São Paulo offer charming outdoor areas where you can enjoy your lunches and dinners al fresco – even on colder days, as many of them have heaters and blankets for the comfort of their customers.
Check out our list and enjoy! Papaya
