Boteco Belmonte

*** This review is only for the Lapa location ***. Good food and atmosphere and friendly staff. You won’t be disappointed.

A very lively place, perfect choice for a quick dinner and first drinks before hitting the bars.

The 🧁 cupcake paper they serve the empanadas on dissolves into the food. Suggestion to use more durable wax paper appropriate for food.

This is the perfect place for trying what is called in Brazil "comida de boteco". Locate in one of the most traditional neighborhoods of Rio de Janeiro, Lapa, the place totally worths your time. You can drink and eat something there before going to other bars in Lapa that have live music, all types of them, going from rock, through Brazilian funk to samba. Just an important thing: on Lapa don't use your cellphone on the streets and be careful with pickpockets, doing that you will be perfectly fine.

Service was good although little mistakes happened.. enjoyed my chicken sandwich, still, I wish the portion was bigger.
