This is Blés D'Or, so far my favourite place to have breakfast/brunch in São Paulo.

This absolutely charming French bakery located in Moema, is headed by Parisian chef Didier Niepceron. They serve an impressive spread for their breakfast. Anything and everything you could desire is laid out in front of you, on an antique style wooden table. Croissants, small quiches, freshly baked breads, crepes with scrumptious chocolate pastes, scrambled eggs, ratatouille, a variety of jams (from raspberry to papaya), cakes, fruit juices ... It's one thing to have variety, but quality? It has it in spades. Everything I have tasted there has yet to let me down.
I usually have the scrambled eggs with ratatouille, the chocolate croissant with an almond crust, the regular croissant with the raspberry or tarte tatin apple jam, the bite-size goat cheese and tomato quiche, some fruit juice, and a café au lait. And I'm not even consuming half the table here.
This is a place that is very relaxed, where you can go with friends, family, or take the newspaper with you. Chef Didier is usually around when I go for breakfast on the weekends, and he is equally relaxed and welcoming to all his customers (and not bad to look at. I'm just saying.). The only thing you have to keep in mind is that during the weekends the place gets packed for breakfast and brunch.
But, seriously, what is waiting in line for a while when you will be delighting in a breakfast so good you'll want to die of happiness afterwards?
