One of the Lapa samba houses that led the revival of the neighbourhood, with tables and a stage on the ground floor and a mezzanine for people who just want to listen. Riotur calls it a reference for samba and MPB.

Good to know
- Come for the happy hour (18:30-20:30): no cover and a free show from 19:30 to 20:30 in the 2026 summer season.
- Later shows charge a couvert artístico; check the night's line-up on the house social media.
- Keep your phone out of sight on the street; the UK FCDO notes phone thefts are common, especially between 4pm and 9pm. Leave by ride-hailing booked in the official app rather than hailing a taxi on the street (FCDO advice).
