The music on offer should be no surprise at this Vila Madelaina hot spot. In case there was any doubt, the interior features a 16m-long (52-ft.) wall collage of photos of famous sambistas of yore. Wednesdays onward the house moves to the sound of live samba. Saturday afternoon, there's music plus a traditional feijoada lunch, from 1pm onward. Open Wednesday to Sunday 7pm to 2am.
