   Brazilian Pork

   Casa do Porco Bar

   Casa do Porco Bar is a São Paulo restaurant built entirely around Brazilian pork, on Rua Araújo in the central República district. The premise is narrow by design: one ingredient, worked through its full range, instead of a menu trying to cover everything. República is central and unpolished, and the room matches the neighbourhood rather than dressing itself up for it. Mains sit around R$60 à la carte, mid-range for the city, and the kitchen runs through both lunch and dinner. A pork-focused Brazilian restaurant for people who would rather one thing be done properly than ten things adequately.

   Price: Typical main course around BRL 60, ordered à la carte.
