Bar Estadão

Bar Estadão, also known as Bar e Lanches Estadão, is a traditional commercial establishment in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. It has operated since 5 December 1968 and is widely recognized as a classic of São Paulo's late-night dining scene, a tourist icon, and even a geographical reference point in the city. The bar takes its name from its location next to the former headquarters of the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo, where the Novotel Jaraguá hotel now stands. The house specialty is the pernil sandwich — a roast pork leg sandwich that is considered the most famous in São Paulo. The bar operates 24 hours a day, 363 days a year, serving a menu centered on its signature sandwich along with other snacks and drinks. Its official website presents sections for history, menu, press, gallery, location, and contact, and offers recipes and tips for preparing and preserving pernil. Over the years, Bar Estadão has received recognition in local dining awards and competitions. It has appeared in the "O Melhor de São Paulo" contest promoted by the newspaper Folha de S.Paulo, and has been cited for best late-night spot by Folha de S.Paulo and for best sandwich in São Paulo by Veja magazine. These accolades have reinforced its reputation as one of the city's enduring culinary landmarks. The establishment remains privately owned and is not part of a listed corporate group. Its long hours, central location, and signature sandwich have made it a fixture of São Paulo's urban food culture, attracting both locals and visitors seeking a classic late-night meal.

Bar Estadão opened on 5 December 1968 in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. According to its official website, it has been a reference point in the city since that date and is a traditional symbol of the metropolis's gastronomy. The bar is located next to the former headquarters of the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo, which gave the establishment its name; the site of that former headquarters is now occupied by the Novotel Jaraguá hotel. From its early years, the bar became known for its pernil sandwich, a roast pork leg sandwich that is regarded as the most famous in São Paulo. The establishment operates 24 hours a day and 363 days a year, serving a late-night crowd and becoming a classic of São Paulo nightlife. Its reputation extends beyond food: it is described as a tourist icon and even used as a geographical reference point in the city. Over the decades, Bar Estadão has received recognition in local dining awards. It has figured in the "O Melhor de São Paulo" contest promoted by the newspaper Folha de S.Paulo. It has also been cited as best late-night spot by Folha de S.Paulo and for best sandwich in São Paulo by Veja magazine. These awards helped cement its status as a traditional carioca — more precisely, paulistano — culinary landmark. The bar maintains an official website with sections for history, menu, press, gallery, location, and contact. The site also shares recipes and tips for preparing and conserving pernil, reflecting the centrality of that product to the brand. As of the 2014 copyright notice on the site, the business continued to operate under the Bar e Lanches Estadão name. It remains a privately held, single-location establishment rather than a chain or listed company.
