About
The residiential neighborhood of Botafogo is fast becoming one of Rio's more interesting areas for gourmands, and this bistro has plenty to appeal to the foodie in Rio. Along with a huge range of imported (and pricey) beers, including the legendary Belgian brew Delirium Tremens, whose nine per cent alcohol content explains the beer's name; and there are also delicious European cheeses and meats to nibble on as you drink. Italian salamis and French cheeses make good light bites, and this is as much a bar as a bistro, with the imported ales and beers a major selling point.
