6 restaurants in SP with good prices for Easter lunch

When taking advantage of the Easter lunch, many families choose restaurants instead of preparing their own meals at home, whether out of practicality or even the desire to experience new gastronomic experiences. However, before heading to a specific establishment, it is worth carrying out a search for prices to hunt for the most affordable alternatives.

This is because consumers must face high prices when looking for traditional holiday dishes. As you can see in this report, the price of a basket of typical Easter foods rose 9.29% between March 2023 and February 2024, according to a survey by the Brazilian Institute of Economics of Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV IBRE). The good news is that at least the value of cod suffered a reduction in the period and is 2.27% more affordable.

For those who are in doubt about where to gather the family for Easter lunch, the E-Investor listed six good-value restaurants in São Paulo that offer dishes for up to R$120. There are options for all tastes, from restaurants focused on Italian cuisine to typically Portuguese environments. Check it out below.
