More casual dining in Rio de Janeiro

Adega Pérola ★ 4.5

$$ PortugueseCopacabana

Adega Pérola lines a glass counter with more than 50 petiscos on Rua Siqueira Campos in Copacabana, a Rio de Janeiro bar founded by Madeirans in 1957.

OrderSardinhas em escabeche, polvo à vinagrete and provolone à milanesa from the glass counter.

TipGo with two or three friends so you can share several petiscos; the bar is closed on Sundays.

Nova Capela ★ 4.1

$$ BrazilianLapa

Nova Capela is a Lapa bar-restaurant on Avenida Mem de Sá in Rio de Janeiro, known for roast kid with broccoli rice and draught chope until 02:00 on weekends.

OrderRoast kid (cabrito assado) with broccoli rice, roast potatoes and toasted garlic.

TipThe house stays open until 02:00 on Fridays and Saturdays, so it suits a late meal after a night in Lapa.

Velho Adonis ★ 4.2

$$ PortugueseZona Norte

Velho Adonis is a Portuguese boteco in Benfica, in Rio de Janeiro's Zona Norte, pouring chope with a head beside bolinho de bacalhau and sardinhas ao forno.

OrderBolinho de bacalhau, sardinhas ao forno and the Maladrinho de 70 rice dish for four.

TipThe bar is closed on Mondays and shuts at 19:00 on Sundays, so plan lunch or an early evening visit.

Majórica ★ 4.0

$$$ ChurrascariaFlamengo

Majórica grills cuts to order on Rua Senador Vergueiro in Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, pairing Brazilian churrasco with Mediterranean dishes since 1961.

OrderTriângulo de ponta de picanha from the grill, with batata soufflé on the side.

TipThe operator's menu prices some cuts for two, such as the coração de alcatra at R$193.50, and sides including batata soufflé are ordered separately.

Bar Lagoa ★ 3.9

$$$ GermanLagoa

Bar Lagoa has served German-leaning dishes and moqueca on Avenida Epitácio Pessoa since 1934, a Lagoa restaurant in Rio de Janeiro with bow-tied waiters.

OrderTornedor à Lagoa with bacon, peas and palm hearts, or the joelho de porco.

TipWaiters work the white-tablecloth room in bow ties, so treat it as a sit-down lunch rather than a quick chope.

Galeto Sat's ★ 4.0

$$ BrazilianCopacabana

Galeto Sat's grills galeto and meats over embers in a small green-tiled room in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, with more than 300 cachaças behind the counter.

OrderPão de alho and coração de galinha from the grill, or the cheese-and-meat sandwich.

TipThe Copacabana house serves until 04:00 or 05:00, so it works as a late stop at the end of a night.
