Les Deux Magots
Sao Paulo
At a glance
Les Deux Magots brings the character of a Parisian literary café to Jardim Paulista, São Paulo. The venue is shaped around the cultural tradition of the original Paris café, where food, conversation, literature and the arts share the same setting. Its identity is reflected in the name, the references to Saint-Germain-des-Prés and the emphasis on a café experience with a cultural dimension.
The cuisine follows a French and Parisian direction, with café specialities, pastries and classic sweet preparations. Hot chocolate forms part of the café tradition, while the dessert selection draws on familiar French pastry styles. The menu is suited to a breakfast, coffee break, light meal or longer pause built around conversation and dessert rather than a strictly formal dining occasion.
Inside, the atmosphere combines café seating with a literary and artistic mood. Green rattan chairs, references to Parisian cultural life and the sound of calming jazz create a setting intended for unhurried visits. The concept connects the venue with the history of writers, artists and thinkers associated with Parisian café culture, while keeping the experience grounded in food and hospitality.
Outdoor seating adds another option. Les Deux Magots includes an open-air café setting and a glass-enclosed garden on Avenida Colômbia, giving the venue a more relaxed alternative to the interior tables. The garden setting works well for coffee, pastries and conversation, while the indoor area provides a more enclosed café atmosphere.
The venue suits visitors looking for French-style café fare, a cultural setting and a place to linger over drinks or sweets. It can appeal to casual daytime meetings, dessert-focused stops and meals that are shaped as much by atmosphere as by the menu. The Parisian references remain central without separating the venue from its São Paulo address and Jardim Paulista surroundings.
