Sao Paulo: Pamplona Restaurant

No sign, look for two awnings

Right across the street from McDonalds on Rua Pamplona is the Pamplona Restaurant.  This is a great place to get standard Brazilian fare at very reasonable prices.  They have a cafe counter as well as a sit down section.

Look for Fejoada (wiki article about Feijoada) on Wednesdays and Saturdays (pictured below).  If the unidentified meat pieces makes you a bit squeamish, try the Frango Filet Executivo, which is a nice thinly cut slice of chicken over a bed of rice.  It comes with beans and fries and a salad, and a fried egg on top of the slice of chicken.  Also good is the fried chicken, which is served as small bone-in sections of thigh and leg meat (I think).

The staff is extremely friendly and will probably recognize you as UAL (no special prices - but they are already very reasonable).
