"No Brazilian meal can be considered complete without feijoada, the country’s beloved pork-and-bean stew, and at Boteco, it is served buffet-style every Saturday in five different varieties. Sides include pork and beef loin, sausages, bacon bits, fried bananas, and farofa. Boteco’s a la carte menu features no-frills bar fare, such as pastel (a fried turnover stuffed with chicken, cheese, or beef), chicken hearts sautéed with onions, and entrees like picanha served with two sides. The laid-back restaurant is also known for its crowd-pleasing pagode nights and lively soccer match parties, so arriving early to score a seat is a must." - Juliana Accioly
