Sao Paulo Antigo - Santana de Parnaíba

The old house of this pleasant restaurant is located in an alley in the central square, close to the church. In upstair lounges, they serve a fantastic all you can eat buffet, with salads, good variety of meat, chicken, fish and other country style foods.. rice and beans. Porker in pururuca style "roast suckling pig is always crispy and dry. It is a return to the farm richness of dinning. The grill is OK, but the graviola juice is wonderful. Lovely restaurant!

We went to Sao Paulo Antigo for lunch with the family and it was outstanding. The building is located in the town square, and is a well-maintained two-storey street front historical house. Inside is wooden and cosy, but the upstairs dining area is big. It...looks like a moden extension has been built on the back there are big windows that let in a lot of light, and a good view of Santana. There was a huge selection of traditional Brazilian food, served in clay pots rice, beans, meats, crackling, soup, salads and vegetables. There was even an entire roast suckling pig. It was all delicious, and the presentation was a novelty too (for a non-local). The dessert selection was equally wonderful caramel pudding, coconut pudding, fruits and other traditional desserts. The price was not cheap but not expensive. If you're in the Santana de Parnaiba area, I would highly recommend stopping here for lunch. Unfortunately it is not open for dinner.

Went there with my parents and we enjoyed a lot the place. The food is brazilian. Service is good. Only opens during the day, unfortunatelly.

Pleasant city to visit and must know restaurant. Nice localization and enviroment. Awesome typical food (all you can eat system) and several types of drinks. Be prepared to eat a lot, as with a food that good, and with a honest price, you wont drop...the bone this is an usual brazilian expression... Go go go.

I ate there one day during the week. The place itself is very pleasant. The food is good typical Brazilian cuisine: rice, black beans, pork, and more. I Paid a fixed price for a meal, and the desserts included (drinks not included). I lacked...a variety in food: There were no fishs the salads were very basic and simple (various types of chopped vegetables). The restaurant is good, but I had been in a better Brazilian restaurants. I realized that the during the weekend they offer more food variety, so maybe it is better to try it then...
