About

If you want to sample arguably the best Portuguese cuisine in Rio, look no further than the simple Adegao Portugues. The unassuming restaurant, located in the city's North Zone, has won scores of awards over its 42-year history, and boasts an impressive array of fans that includes Brazil's president. The restaurant is best known for its fish and seafood dishes, but the meat dishes are also excellent. Don't miss the lamb served with artichoke, pepper, onion, garlic and boiled potatoes. The restaurant is located within the safe, well-policed confines of the vast Campo do Sao Cristvao, but take care in the surrounding area. -Lucy Bryson
