A highlight of the Praça da Bandeira scene, Aconchego Carioca and it’s owner/founder, Kátia Barbosa, are rightly famous. Back in the day, Kátia adapted feijoada, a notoriously heavy dish, and transformed it into a delicious bite-sized snack which is now available in bars and restaurants across the land.

As well as a host of delicious snacks, then menu also includes more substantial dishes (try the moqueca and/or the camarão no coco – shrimp stew served in a coconut). The drinks are great too – there’s a good selection of craft beers and the caipirinhas will knock your socks off!
