Top Rio de Janeiro Pub Food: 9 Best Local Pub Food in Rio de Janeiro

Visit this eclectic and bohemian neighborhood of Santa Teresa (home of some great restaurants). There is a good restaurant called Mineiro. They have an amazing Feijoada (black beans stew with pork meat). Many of the bars around are full of locals, and have the best Caipirinhas you will find in Rio.
Our favorite meal is breakfast, and you will find a lot of places where you can ask for an expresso, fruits and a french toast with butter.
Another good local option is the restaurant Braseiro da Gavea, at Baixo Gavea neighborhood. They simply have the best Picanha cut you can find in Rio, full of locals and not expensive at all for the great food you will enjoy!

Bar do Momo

A real boteco

Bar do Momo

It’s about tasty food and cold beer. Sit in one of the plastic tables on the street and just watch as the time goes by. If you’re at the south zone of the city, you should take the subway and give the north zone – and your stomach – a chance. Try the T-rex, a big filet with a fried egg on the side.

Burger and beer

Comuna

Ok, you certainly didn't come to Rio to find a memorable burger. And the place is full of hipsters who are around 25 years old. But who cares? They serve 3 or 4 kinds of burgers, the famous one is the Pala burger: meat seasoned with dark beer plus cheese and home-made sauce. And from the new menu try the X-Wilson, a tribute to the security guy.

Gourmet Burger

Hell's Burger

The hamburguer is absolutely delicious and the tables are placed in the street. Hell´s Burger is also next to Voluntários da Pátria and Nelson Mandela, two of the main streets in Botafogo filled with bars. You can eat a burger and then go to one of the bars around.

Grab a beer and chill out

The Bar

The place has that informal atmosphere typical from the cariocas. The bar is small, so people sit on the tables at the street – or just stand there. The waiter seems like an old friend, always very friendly. It's a great place to have a typical carioca chopp. Also, they have great caipirinhas!

Craft beer & Carioca lovers

Metrópole

The best part is that they count with amazing options and a great variety of craft beers, all produced in Rio. You will find here a special menu of different beers (from Pilsen to Stout, IPA and Witbier), but have in mind that it changes from time to time (which is also great). They also have good burgers and a nice atmosphere!
