Outstanding feijoada! This place breathes authenticity and as I understand it’s been around for like 70 years so they have mastered the feijoada. It’s located in a nice area of Sao Paulo. We ordered the«light» feijoada which comes with pork sausage, bacon, ribs, sun dried meat(beef jerky) and I think one other item. The traditional feijoada has pork feet, tongue, and other pork parts that I’m not at all likely to try and it seems like most prefer the«light version». All the sides are fantastic and come with the feijoada — white rice, collard greens, sausage, breaded fried banana and some others. This is a must-try for foreigners and Brazilians. Get ready to spend about $ 120 reais per person, but trust me – it’s worth it. They have a ladies night, every day of the week after 7:00pm women eat free!

Un accueil chaleureux et une qualité irréprochable. Nous n’avons pas goûté la spécialité du restaurant(Feijoada), en revanche la carte est variée mais pas très abordable. Le décor est simple mais ce qui est dans l’assiette est efficace. Un restaurant à recommender si le prix n’est pas votre soucis(env 100R$). Se rendre à pied au restaurant, pour peu que l’on né soit pas top loin né pose pas de problème de sécurité même si l’on est à à Sao Paulo.

Everything you know about feijoada… Forget about it. Feijoada at Bolinha is definitely a superb experience like never before, at least for feijoada, the place, décor, wait staff, food quality, everything sums up resulting in a cultural experience. I was a bit hesitant in going to Bolinha on a weekday, and especially for dinner, also questions like food freshness since their ads show pictures of their all you can eat setup and kept wondering if during weekday this setup would be available or if it was going to be a la carte. I shouldn’t have worried that much! Restaurant was empty when we got there at 9pm for dinner, we were really well served, wait staff extremely polite, attentive, and explained how feijoada was served on weekdays. Started with a basket of freshly baked pão de queijo and an assortment of breads, garlic butter, butter, annnnnnnnd batida de limão(like limoncello but made of limes, cachaça, and sugar), served in shot glasses, but even that was part of the all you can eat experience! Then the parade started… Bolinho de carne seca e mandioca(yucca massa filled with salted beef), pork rinds, fried yucca, everything was freshly made, then couple of feijoada kettles(lean version, ten kinds of pork cuts, from lean loin to smoked sausages), rice, collard greens, fried yucca, crispy bacon, grilled pork chop, orange slices. Would go back there anytime! Although probably not for dinner, it was a bit heavy even though we’d ordered the lean version of it. But amazing feijoada, best feijoada you’ll ever have, their wait staff is amazing! Oh, valet is available at the door if I’m not mistaken, but it’s easy, super easy finding a spot on the street.

O ambiente é agradável e a feijoada é muito boa(tem até uma opção light, rs). Mas eu esperava mais, me decepcionou um pouco. Vale a pena conhecer mas não acho a melhor feijoada da cidade não, como dizem por aí.

O prato favorito do meu pai sempre foi feijoada então, desde que me entendo por gente, como — e também amo — essa delicia. Apresento a vocês, então, o Bolinha — a casa de feijoada mais tradicional de São Paulo. A refeição é completíssima: são dez tipos de carnes acompanhadas de guarnições como arroz branco, couve, mandioca, banana frita, linguiça frita, bacon, torresmo e bisteca de porco. Você ainda pode escolher entre a opção magra(ou light, como eles também chamam, rs) ou tradicional. O preço varia de acordo com o dia. Nos dias úteis o valor é R$ 98,00 por pessoa, aos sábados, domingos e feriados o preço sobe para R$ 116,00. O movimento do restaurante é ainda mais intenso aos finais de semana então recomendo que faça reserva pelo telefone. Ah, e não deixe de pedir uma caipirinha enquanto degusta as entradinhas(destaque para o caldinho de feijão)!

Restaurante nota dez. Ambiente requintado, serviço de primeiro e a comida de dar água na boca. A feijoada é um espetáculo. Eu comi a feijoada magra, a qual dispensa alguns componentes mais calóricos… muito boa! Possui serviço de vallet, porém com um preço bem salgado(R$ 20,00 o vallet no domingo e feriados).

Feijoada muito boa, eleita por muitos como sendo a melhor feijoada do Brasil(eu acho que é a segunda). Mantém a tradição de servir em cumbucas. Tem atendimento primoroso. Dica p/quem quer conhecer e gastar um pouco menos, vá em casais(homem+mulher) à noite, pois à noite mulher nao paga(clube do bolinha)
