Why you should visit it
Stronghold of intellectuals, artists or simply bohemians, the Cantina do Lucas showcases a menu full of traditional cuisine with a touch of international food such as the Italian, Portuguese and Spanish. Mr. Olympio Munhoz, longest-lived waiter in the Brazilian history, worked there. He was immortalized by the Guinness Book of Records.
Special tip
Eat, eat, eat! My favorite dish is “Surprise à Moda”, a fillet stuffed with ham and cheese, accompanied by risotto, banana, fries and two fried eggs.
