Bona Ventura

Copacabana · Rio de Janeiro

Pavão Azul

Local cuisineLocals' pick

A Copacabana botequim since 1957, two blocks from the beach, famous for its pataniscas de bacalhau: crisp, egg-batter cod fritters, unlike the potato-based bolinho. The plastic sidewalk tables fill after the beach; demand forced an annex across the street.

Good to know

  • Order pataniscas and a 600 ml Original to share, the house formula; add a bolinho de feijoada.
  • Fight for a sidewalk table late afternoon; for a meal, the bacalhau omelette comes with rice, beans and potatoes.
