Cora

São Paulo, Brazil

Argentinian chef Pablo Inca plates up market-fresh ingredients at this buzzy rooftop restaurant in downtown São Paulo. Located on a sunny terrace on the sixth floor, tables boast views of the city’s Minhocão, a vast, elevated highway that cuts through the city centre and which, past 8pm on weekdays and all day on weekends, is pedestrianised. In the kitchen, Inca serves colourful, vibrant food guided by fresh produce sourced from city markets. A playful use of local ingredients, such as maca, cocoa and peppers, deliver unexpected dishes, with seasonal offerings like melon with sumac sitting beside menu regulars of squid omelette and duck heart with a velvety cauliflower and onion cream. An extensive drinks offering features both wines and cocktails. The dining space is slick, trendy and unfussy, with a relaxed ambience. Aim for a terrace table under bright cream parasols – but prepare for queues. These are the city’s most in-demand tables.
