A Casa do Porco

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Where Pork Becomes an Art Form

Tucked into the lively República neighbourhood of São Paulo, A Casa do Porco — literally The House of the Pig — has grown from a beloved local gem into one of the most talked-about destinations in the global dining scene. Located on Rua Araújo, 124, this Brazilian restaurant has earned its place on the world stage through an unwavering commitment to ingredient-led cooking, creative flair, and an atmosphere that feels simultaneously festive and deeply personal.

A Brazilian Restaurant the World is Watching

Few restaurants in Latin America have climbed the international rankings as consistently as A Casa do Porco. Recognised by The World's 50 Best Restaurants every year from 2019 through 2024, the restaurant has steadily ascended the list — entering at No. 39 in 2019, reaching No. 17 in 2021, peaking at No. 7 in 2022, and maintaining a well-deserved presence at No. 12 in 2023 and No. 27 in 2024. These accolades are not merely trophies; they are a testament to a culinary vision that has put São Paulo — and Brazilian cuisine — firmly on the map.

The Philosophy on the Plate

At A Casa do Porco, the pig is celebrated with reverence and imagination. Every cut, every preparation speaks to a profound respect for the animal and for the rich traditions of Brazilian cooking. The menu transforms humble, honest ingredients into something extraordinary, weaving together regional flavours, nose-to-tail philosophy, and a bold modern sensibility. The result is a Brazilian dining experience that is as rooted in culture as it is forward-thinking.

A Welcome for Everyone

Despite its international acclaim, A Casa do Porco remains refreshingly accessible. Walk-ins are welcome daily — simply leave your name with the hostess from 11 a.m. onwards and she will give you an estimated wait time. For a quieter visit, weekday afternoons between 3 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. offer a more relaxed pace, while weekends draw enthusiastic crowds best met by arriving early. It is a place where world-class Brazilian cuisine is served without pretension, to anyone willing to pull up a chair.
