Café Paulista Grille

When the usual pizza, pasta, and steak simply won’t do, head straight to Café Paulista. Brazilian cuisine is not exactly well represented in the Upstate, so this is a welcome addition to the scene. Fair warning: It will take several visits to fully appreciate everything on the menu.

Savor as many of the appetizer croquettes as possible, but don’t skip the main course—skewers of grilled steak or chicken, with an array of sides like feijoda and fried bananas. If you can still stomach dessert, the sweet fried pastels are awesome. Closed Sunday.
