An old Portuguese adega that a man from Ceará turned into the Zona Sul's classic Northeastern boteco in the early 1980s, on a quiet Botafogo street. Gourds and bells still hang from the ceiling; carne de sol, baião de dois and queijo coalho are the reasons to come.

Good to know
- Start with a pastel de carne-seca and a chope, then share the baião de dois with carne de sol and aipim; goiabada with cheese ice cream for dessert.
- Next door, the same owners run the tiny Quinta Categoria boteco.
