Botequim

Botequim seems to have been hidden away against its will in the basement of a hotel on Fourth Avenue. Of the two street entrances, one is weird, the other weirder. One you make it inside, though, things quickly start to look up. Graffiti-style murals zigzag along the walls, samba rhythms ripple all night long, and a glass of cachaça is never more than a few minutes away. Most of all Botequim...

Came here for an anniversary, we were treated to a glass of wine which was nice. The server was very knowledgeable and friendly. The food was incredible, portions were bigger than I thought after reading reviews and the menu was fantastic. I would love to go back and recommend it to anyone wanting to sit down for a three course.

Following the success of Moreira’s three previous restaurants, Botequim is the establishment that will allow Moreira to explore and share his passion for Brazil. It will be a sort of “Clubhouse,” where locals and friends can...
