For some classic French dining in the heart of Sao Paulo, head to La Tartine. Located in the Consolação neighborhood, this bistro opened its doors in 1996 and has been a popular favorite ever since.

Feed Food is a curiosity in the heart of this up-scale nieighborhood. What sets it apart from other eateries and bars in the area is the unusual alfresco location under a leafy canopy, and the fact that it's well-hidden from sight. You won't see it unless you know it's there, lending it an air of exclusivity. The bar is largely populated by a hip, young crowd who stop by after work for a drink, snacks and conversation. Team up creative caipirinhas like green fig and lime with bar eats like traditional coxinhas (fried chicken dumplings) and brie and asparagus snacks. Their eclectic menu features an array of Brazilian-inspired contemporary dishes made with fresh local ingredients. The beef steak with onion, potato and farofa is quite popular. Don't miss their desserts, the traditional tapioca pudim topped with baba de moça is an epicurean delight.

The Rockerama Club is dedicated to all things rockabilly. The bar's atomic age decor reflects its 1950s inspiration with "futuristic" fittings and ambient lighting. The two-story club features two stages, one on each floor, with the U-shaped stage offering an immersive experience for patrons and a great view of performing artists from all angles. The DJs spin uptempo classics to get you moving, and a live band takes over every evening at 12a. The traditionally-American menu offers the usual fare - the milkshakes are worth a try. So go ahead and put on your dancing shoes, grab a partner, and show off your best dance moves.
