Cafe Foto is located at Ave. Helio Pellegrino, 480 in Moema, close by neighborhood Villa Nova Concecao, Ibipuera, Jardim Luzitania, Indianopolis, Vila Uberabinha and Vila Olympia.
I am putting all these names in case you are looking for hotel in same area.
Foto is closed on Sun.
Excellent reputation. Moondog and others have had a great time there.
Hoping myself to get the job done in Nov.

The two of us visited Cafe Foto on Thursday night 8/22. We got there at 1100pm, perfect time. Entrada was 160R/person including 4 drinks which you could use to buy for yourself or for the garota. The entrada fee worked out fine if you like to drink hard liquor.

The place was very impressive. It was like partying at Heffner's mansion. Khaki was fine, but no short, no teni, and jeans. The women decked out in all type of fashions. There were a live band playing americano and brasileros soft music. Two floors with the main bar and live band on the first floor and upstairs were table set up for some quality quiet time with your garota.

There were about 100 women on that Thurs. night. About 10% were solidly looking. But there're no stunners or head turners. My first pick was a solid 9 brunette, but after about 40min of semi make out and convo, she ended up to tell me that she has a kid and couldn't spend any more than 3 hours. I didn't inquire her service fee. She was really looking disappointed when I threw the fish back in the water.

I moved on to a soft 8.5 slim and tall morena named Michele. She is 1/2 Lebanese and 1/2 Brasileras. We spent almost a couple hours talking, drinking, and joking around. The whole time, my sidekick was with a morena and he had no idea why he picked her. She was a 7 as we both agreed on and he could have done better.

During the time I spent with Michele, I saw a gorgeous semi redheaded wearing an open back dress revealing her nice C-cups just came in to work with her friend. I needed to make my decision fast. I didn't know whether to throw back the black trout or to catch the red snapper which kept swaying to the music right in front of me. I decided to keep the trout as I have fed and invested too much time on it. So I asked Michele for her service fee and she casually told me it's "um mil reais". I almost spit out my Black Label and yelled out the 4-letter word. Damn, I like this chick but I have never paid more than 200usd outside of US soil. So we spent the next 15 uncomfy min to work out a deal. I couldn't do any better than 600R and my sidekick's was 500R. The deed was signed and she took me back to my hotel in her own car.

Back at the hotel, she was very passionate but aren't all brasileras like that...She said she had to leave for school at 7am and she was out exactly at 7am. Damn, they are really "programa", very puncture when it's time to leave.

We came back to this place on Sat. night to look for my semi redheaded. She wasn't there. There're about 60 garotas during the 3hrs we spent drinking. One garota asked my sidekick for 400R, but he turned her down. We left empty handed.

Mon-Fri are the best time to select at this place. It closes on Sunday.

By Jarule on Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 09:08 pm:  Edit

600R? That's nuts. I've never paid more than 300R there, and that includes the trophy fuck 10s. Were you speaking in Portuguese to these girls and acting like a regular? Oh well, guess that's why girls are flocking to this place...the chance of hitting a jackpot.

One CF girl said she was flown out to Monte Carlo for 3 months by a client and wined & dined. Shit, even I haven't been to Monte Carlo.

I have...you ain~t missing much...imagine every asshole italian you see in help times 1000 in terms of numbers and fucking arrogance...lol...Damn sake, you~re scaring me with these prices...just lie and say you were bangin´ runway models for a buck fifty or else I´ll never be able to talk Dood into rolling with me, haha...

By Joe90 on Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 11:40 pm:  Edit

When I was there R$600/1000 was the fee from 9p.m till morning. After 1a.m even the 10s charge only R$300/350 plus taxi. Looks like these girls are getting much greedier than before. It's worse during the summer when prices go up 25%.Still I had some real trophies with GFE at CF and I will go there again.

By Sakebomb on Friday, August 30, 2002 - 02:28 pm:  Edit

Yep Rexx, with some serious touch-ups my chick would look like Petra Nomcova from SI SS02 and the semi redheaded could be the redheaded supermodel Angelina Hart.

I never assign 10s to hookers...they got flaw from the beginning. Regarding pricing, if your choices were limited down to 2 from 100 women, you'd better move fast or the other 100 horny vultures would take your space in a heartbeat. I could have taken my girl out at midnight or 1am, but we preferred staying to drink and party. And I wouldn't doubt that I could have taken any of them out for an hour ST session for 200-300R, but that wasn't what I was looking for.

You guys seemed like you guys have gone through with the experience many times, I wish I could have read your info before I walked in uncharted territory.

Just back from a nice evening at CF. I found a stunning redhead--she said she'd been in SP only about a week--and after about an hour one site, we headed back to my hotel. This sweetheart, Rachel, is about 5'3", a C cup with a classic Brasiliera bubble butt, and has stunning green eyes. She was dressed to kill and looked perfect arriving at my upscale hotel. She also brought along a suitcase full of toys: a couple of vibrators, a dildo, some silk ropes, etc. We put them all to good use before crashing.

I took her out to a nice lunch at my favorite Italian restaurant, and she surprised me afterwards by proposing that we return to my hotel for dessert, saying she didn't want to return to her small apartment where she didn't really know anyone.

Oh, the price...Rachel asked for and I paid 400 reais. This is more than I usually pay, but I seem to have gotten my money's worth and then some.

Cafe Foto is as nice a place as I've visited anywhere in the world.

By Moondog on Tuesday, October 15, 2002 - 08:30 pm:  Edit

I love it at CF, and will probably hit it again in November. Thanks for the report.

By Canonperdido on Tuesday, October 15, 2002 - 08:55 pm:  Edit

Moondog. You are in love with everthing Latin female. I am sure glad that you do not have to make a decision yet to settle down.

By the way, can you please describe how the 3 times rule has expanded into the 15 times or less rule. :)

Have to say this place is overrated!!! Dress up the line up at Centaurus on any given weekday and put them in the same ambience, I take the Centaurus' line up over Cafe F.

Don't go to this place on Sat. night as only 1/3 of the working girls were showing up and the 8+ weren't present.

By Moondog on Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 04:15 am:  Edit

Gentlemen,

I heard some news about Cafe Foto that is not good. I have yet to verify it.

I met a girl from Foto about 6 months ago, and saw her again yesterday. She stated that business has been so slow that the owner has started charging the girls R$125 just to enter the club to be seen. This is for every girl and every time they enter, so that he can make up his losses.

Three girls from Foto have died this past week. One from being run over by a bus, another was killed by her boyfriend when she posed for photos for someone else. I have forgotten the reason for the third death.

At any rate, business has supposedly slowed down considerably. I have yet to go there since all of this has happened, but will report back in the next few weeks.

See you in BA Moondog.

By Athos on Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 11:45 am:  Edit

Thanks for info Moondog.
That's my luck, will be in SP in 2 weeks.
You can try new place www.cafemillenium.com.br. Same owner as Bacos and ConnectionNight but more central. Supposed to open Nov 5 and compete against Bomboa.
This makes no sense to charge the girls, Photo is going to die very quickly. Girls will pass cost to customer and I don't think I want to afford it.

By Moondog on Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 05:59 pm:  Edit

Athos,

Thanks for the info about the new club. I may have to try it next week.

CP, my pleasure.

By Athos on Friday, November 08, 2002 - 09:37 am:  Edit

Moondog
Early words is that garotas are leaving Foto to ply their ware at Romanza. Which is the logical choice to me as Foto and Romanza are the high end type of boates for pickup. Bahamas has in premise rooms like Bomboa so different than Foto layout.
So what I am trying to say maybe you should just go to Romanza and if selection is good, no need to pay cover at Foto.
If you want to splurge, you can also try club W but very expensive with coat and tie required, no negotiation skills required as manager presents you every girl, each coming with a different price tag, all this non negotiable. Cover charge goes toward garota rental unlike Foto and Romanza.
Well I'll listen to myself and head to Romanza first for late night pickup when I head to SP.

By Moondog on Friday, November 08, 2002 - 02:28 pm:  Edit

Athos,

Been to Romanza twice, always had a good time.

I really did not like the atmosphere at Bahamas, felt like I was walking on a used car lot, with all the vultures descending on top of me. Pretty vultures though. They all wanted to go for two-somes, and no take out unless it paid them around R$600.

I do want to try W though, at least once. Is the quality worth the money there? If so, i don't mind.

Moondog

By Athos on Friday, November 08, 2002 - 03:39 pm:  Edit

W is on my itinerary but won't be able to post on it till 2 weeks from now.
The selection at W is supposed to be the best in SP, it's all up to oneself to decide how much is too much.
You may want to give W a call before going as sometimes they have private parties which reduce dramatically regular shift.

By Moondog on Saturday, November 09, 2002 - 09:51 am:  Edit

Ok, thanks.

By Jarule on Sunday, November 10, 2002 - 08:42 am:  Edit

Moondog,

you sure about Foto charging 125R to the girls? E absurdo!

I like Romanza, but it's dark and small. CF has stellar facilities and i would hate to see it go.

As I stated, in August, Romanza had the ugliest hags I've seen in Brazil assembled in one place, while CF was off the hook (Wednesday and Tuesday respectively). i guess these things are very fluid from month to month.

By Moondog on Sunday, November 10, 2002 - 10:49 am:  Edit

Jarule,

I have not personally verified this, it has only been told to me by another girl that I had met in Foto.

I met the young lady pictured below in Romanza earlier this year. No ugly hags allowed. <img src="https://www.clubhombre.com/discus/clipart/happy.gif" alt="I met the young lady pictured below in Romanza earlier this year. No ugly hags allowed. <IMG SRC=">

Enjoy the life,

Moondog

By Jarule on Sunday, November 10, 2002 - 11:07 am:  Edit

The brazilian putanheiros are saying that the girls are now charged 30-60R as admission to CF...which seems more reasonable, although i am sure this will still drive away droves of meninas who more often than not do not get picked up on a given night.

very bad news indeed. hopefully the mafioso will come to their senses once they economy starts to turn around. still, foto on a tuesday night, unless things have spiralled downwards, ja vale a pena.

By Moondog on Sunday, November 10, 2002 - 01:26 pm:  Edit

Thanks for the info. I will check out Foto next month.

By Athos on Sunday, November 10, 2002 - 09:16 pm:  Edit

30 to 60R sounds more reasonable. I'll check Photo too hopefully on a Tuesday per Jarule recommendation.

By Lurch on Sunday, December 15, 2002 - 12:37 pm:  Edit

Can someone provide a little more information about Club W? Location, web site, etc. Thanks

By Athos on Sunday, December 15, 2002 - 03:24 pm:  Edit

The W address is already posted under Sao Paulo - W thread. I doubt there is a web site as no advertising done by W.

From Athos' Trip Report Sampa 101: Guide to Sao Paulo for Dummies


Cafe Photo - Ave Helio Pellegrino, 480 Tel.: 3849.2333
http://www.cafephoto.com.br/
Café Photo is very well regarded by hobbyists and by garotas. It is supposed to offer Sampa finest pussy. My limited experience was very different.
Cover is 158R good for four drinks, you are given 4 tickets for the day.
The mansion looks impressive on the outside. Photo is three levels, so there is a bar at every level with live band. The third floor is reserved for VIP so I never saw it.
Garotas mingle in the first two floors, all making eye contact. They will come talk to you if you return their eye gaze.
I went on a Wednesday night and found the selection to be poor. I may have seen 1 or 2 7's, mostly older garotas and average looking at that. They all dress up to the max and fake being worldly but none appealed to me. If you need TLN, you will need to negotiate as in Brazil short time is the default service. Expect starting quote in the 400R but negotiate hard to 200R, 300R max if you see a looker.
I am sure I had to be unlucky as I have read too many good things about Photo.
Friday and Saturday are the worse nights with only the first floor opened for business.
Expect BBBJ and DFK. You can make out inside the club.

Athos rating: Café Photo was extremely disappointing 3.0

By Bomboa on Tuesday, April 15, 2003 - 11:53 pm:  Edit

One of the worst fucks in a long time was had here. She looked good enough. Seemed kind of shy. Fairly new on the job. Decided to take her for spin...WOULD NOT GIVE A BJ....LEFT AFTER 40 MINUTES...VERY LITTLE PRE and POST SEX AFFECTION...

Man...I thought my instincts were honed, but this program girl was terrible. And I'm positive she's not the exception at Photo. I agreed to go to the Motel that Foto owns in a downright filthy/deserted part of town...it was filled with Foto girls taking their clients up. Almost without exception, it seemed like they were all out of there within the hour...checking out at the same time I was. Pathetic.

Foto is a joke. There are also rumors that the owners are backed by Chinese Mafia money, who are trying to angle in on Brazil's prostitution ring.

Whatever the reason, I think the attitude of the place is piss poor. I think it is spawned by the core 30-50% group of hard-core Photo girls who have been working there FOR YEARS. They're pro, they're jaded, and they teach the new ones to be bitches.

At this point, Foto can kiss my ass. It'll always get tourist/businessman who don't know any better, and see the ad in all the tourist rags. But for those in the know, I think it is to be avoided at all costs. If you do go, look for a NEW GIRL. If they have been there for a while, don't go with her no matter how hot she might be.

By Moondog on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 12:04 am:  Edit

Sounds like W is a better alternative for the high end.

By d'Artagnan on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 03:16 am:  Edit

That gigantic monster dude still a bouncer at Photo. How tall is that guy? That was the biggest guy I've even seen in person.

By Bomboa on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 08:04 am:  Edit

yeah, W is pretty good but the selection will be much smaller. Basically, the premium you're paying is to have higher end escorts in one location before you choose. I've gone and W has had as few as 10 girls working, mostly it's around 20-30 at most. sometimes it's a little poor because you'll get the same girls doing the same rotation.

the only problem with W is the sticker price. if you make that place a habit, your bank account is going to drain REAL FAST. with today's exchange rate, you're looking at over $300 US per session if you keep her overnight (and she lives on the premises). if she doesn't live on the premises, then obviously they'll have no way of measuring how long you spend with her cuz she might of just gone home.

if you like W types, it may be cheaper to go to Porto Alegre and try escorts, since that's where most of these girls come from.

By Athos on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 10:01 am:  Edit

The selection at W is not as good as Photo. But I totally agree Photo is a tourist ripoff joint. Even garotas agreed with me :-) Attitude is real bad, still there is 10% of garotas worth pursuing. It's up to the hombre to figure his odds. I'd rather go with 90% at Bomboa.
I also agree W is too expensive, I still don't mind trying it once in a while as odds are 100% for good time.
I don't think I am headed back to Photo any time soon, too many good options in SP with Bomboa, Connection, Millenium, Miruna, Antares, escorts...
It is not cheaper to go to POA, cost is about the same as SP; W and Photo are just overkill for costs. Actually W selection is not that good, you're looking at 7.0 mostly with 2 or 3 above that. Photo has multiple 8's.

By Bomboa on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 12:06 pm:  Edit

Yeah, only thing nice about W is nice personalized service from Edson and Berto. Otherwise, the premium does not justify the quality. The food is okay though...always enjoy the steak dinner there before fucking porto alegre blondes.

last time i nailed curitiba blonde, but i think she doesn't work there any more. very hot, looked like a prim and proper upper class chick you'd see at iguatemi shopping.

instead, i was fucking her mouth, and made her suck my balls for 30 minutes. i blew my load in her mouth, but unfortunately, she did not swallow. what a shame...such a good performance until the end. what a country.

so fond memories of W, but not so fond memories when i checked my credit bill at end of month.

By Layne87 on Saturday, May 24, 2003 - 07:35 am:  Edit

Finally I get to check this place out...very classy decor and even classier entrance fee of R170 with 4 drink tickets included...my take on the place..as some comedian says "save up!!" ...treat yourself maybe once but if you do only go for the 10s that are here...there are a bunch of girls in here that dont belong at this place ...you can get them anyplace in SP without the cost included...but there were about 10 that did belong and boy did I find a good one..had to pay her dearly ($200) but my oh my..what a face on this girl and to top it off she was just as sweet as an ugly one....I dont take pics too much anymore but I had to on this girl ..will post them on my return to the states...I only chatted with 3 before finding this gem but it seemed to me that the attitudes were ok..way better than barbarellas of late...

oh and damn is that the biggest dude in brasil that works there!!!! not many people dwarf me but damn...I tried to chat with him but he just looked down on me like a mosquito..

By Coats001 on Saturday, May 24, 2003 - 10:31 am:  Edit

Was it for a all nighter? And the service? BBBJ, anal?

By Bomboa on Saturday, May 24, 2003 - 10:22 pm:  Edit

they raised their entrance fee to R170??? man, what is going on with this place?

really, i can't imagine going there again other than to escort buddies of mine who are newbies and never experienced a brazilian show de bola before.

the attitudes are hit or miss there. you get a newbie, you're golden. you get one of the core 'regulars' there, and you're not going to be happy.

glad to hear you had a decent time though.

Cafe Photo update

I spent 2 hours in Photo last night (Tuesday). Admission was $R 160 (maybe they helped themselves to $R 2 in change) which covers 4 drinks. Each of the two (non-VIP) floors has a bar and a live band. The second floor was more crowded, but the first floor had better traffic. The lighting was poor for the most part. The music was OK, and not too loud. They featured a belly dancer, but only for a few minutes.

There were about 60 girls and a comparable number of guys at the peak. The clientel was up-scale, mixed Brazilian and foreigner, and mostly thirty something. The girls were mostly light-skinned in their early twenties. The security and service staff was plentiful, friendly, and efficient (including the famous giant :-) ).

Here is my assessment of the girls. The initial impression in the first few minutes is wow! . Upon closer inspection, you realize that what creates this impression is

1. There are no ugly girls, so the visual input is all positive.

2. There are no trashy girls. All are elegantly dressed and groomed.

3. The lighting is sufficienly poor that from a few feet away, you cannot see the defects.

4. Almost all the girls have a selling point, either a nice face or a nice body. Alas, precious few combined the two.

If your main goal is to pick someone, and your criterion is the number of top girls available
(9īs and 10īs) rather than the average quality of the girls, you may be disappointed. I would say that there were no girls below 6, 15% were 6īs, 70% were 7īs, 15% were 8īs (a couple may barely make it to 9). You are basically looking at the top 25% of Help, but just that. There werenīt any girls better than the best girls in Help.

Disclaimers:

1. I am a conservative grader, so 10 is 10 since there are no 11īs.

2. The usual variation from night to night may be a factor here.

3. The best-girls-get-picked-earlier factor may play a role, if they had already left the club. The above comments apply to all the girls that were there, including the "attached" ones.

4. Your impression of a place is often colored by connecting with a great girl at that place. In my case, I was in a "researchy" mode, like a restaurant critic.

By the way, I was approached by 5 girls without making any eye contact. One was somewhat pushy and a bit unpleasant, and one was quite pushy but pleasant. The official rule is supposed to be that girls do not approach you unless you "signal" them.

By Sf4dfish on Wednesday, June 04, 2003 - 03:57 pm:  Edit

Those are some of the reasons I have yet to set foot in Foto! Though I do a lot of chasing tail in SP.

I prefer, and do quite well at most of the clubs located along Rua Nestor Pestana.

My order of preference: Kilt, Vagao Plaza, Cocktail, and Skorpios.
