Ragazzo
You've probably heard, or soon will discover, that eating in Brazil has become quite expensive. Ok, maybe you have money to splash, so check where to go on official tourism guides. My intention here is to give you some options if you only intend to eat honest food at reasonable prices.
Recently I was amazed to discover Ragazzo, a fast food chain that offers a wide range of choices at incredible prices for São Paulo. Even regular fast food restaurants here will be quite expensive; it's impossible to spend less than US$ 10. Average spending would be around US$15 and above.
To begin with, though they may be called a 'fast food restaurant', you sit down and order your food from waiters, and pay the bill as you leave. Italian food prevails in their menu (pasta, pizzas), but also include dishes with grilled meat, sandwiches, salgados (see post here), salads (you pick seven ingredients from a list; the small one costs about US$3), soup (a bowl for less than US$2), juices and dessert. Nothing is exceptional, but good and surely clean. And quite cheap. See their complete menu here. Though everything is in Portuguese, the menu is plenty of photos that will surely help you out when selecting your choices.
When walking around Avenida Paulista, try this one:
Ragazzo - Alameda Santos, 2209, some steps from the corner with Rua Augusta (near Conjunto Nacional).
Subway station: Consolação
Buses: any bus running along Avenida Paulista, get off in front of Conjunto Nacional (southward) or near Rua Frei Caneca (westward).
