If there is such a thing as a typical Brazilian pub, this would be it. The patio fans out on all sides, and tables are packed every day. The food that'll put all pub food to shame is the grilled picanha (beef) served on a sizzling cast-iron skillet (R$36/US$15/£7.50). Open Tuesday and Wednesday 5pm to 2am, Thursday through Saturday noon to 3am, and Sunday noon to 1am.
