Adega Pérola

A relaxed, no-frills tapas bar. We went for lunch during the weekday and got a table right away. We got a mixture of grilled (hot) dishes and ready-made cold dishes - all seafood dishes. The cold dishes were definitely the standouts - we got the octopus, haddock and lobster. Haddock was our favourite!

What a great spot! Hidden away on the extents of Siqueira Campos, this looks like an eclectic Spanish tapas travel destination, serving up a wide variety of unique seafood and other meats and vegetables, along with a full bar. This is a top spot for sure!

Hands down the best place for seafood in the Copacabana! Proper locals place where guests are very welcome. Open since 1957 these guys certainly know what they’re doing. First class service and out of this world fish dishes which you can see before you choose! We had the octopus salad, crab and smoked salmon. Delicious. The beer is a fresh as it fetes tastes like straight from the brewery! Can’t wait to go back

Top notch "buteco" serving probably the best seafood you can have in town at its price range. Also most likely significantly better than pricier restaurants. I saw some reviews complaining for being overpriced, which sounds odd to me. I had a lot of amazing seafood (more than I could eat) and 2 beers and paid US$24!.. In NY, for comparison, this would have been the price of the beers only! Even in Rio their price is extremely fair!!..

The best small plates and tapas in Rio! This restaurant is a thrill to eat at because the plates are small, you order lots and it is brought quickly. Your bill is taped to your table and every beer you get, they just cross out a number (an efficient way to keep track). We loved coming here for food, drinks and to watch sports!

Great seafood! We had calabresa olives, fried shrimp and the fried sardines. Everything was delicious. It was the best sardine I've ever had. Everything was reasonably priced and the service was excellent. I recommend this place if you're in the mood for seafood. Edit: We were in the area and decided to stop in for lunch. They have their full menu available for lunch. We shared one of the entrees meant for two it was more than enough food for us. The rice beans french fries and steak were delicious.

It’s one of the most classic boteco of Rio. Expect good (and expensive) Portuguese food, lots os appetizers, friendly service, cold beer and cheap / simple decor. (-) The area is not safe and the bathrooms are terrible

Concept and interiors are great! You can find the best seafoods in Rio in this restaurant. They offer a wide varieties of seafood dishes from salmon to octopus. The only downfall with the ratings is that, the prices are definitely high compared to other restaurant. We have ordered 2 dishes, with 100grams each and a plate of plain rice. These amounted us to 130BRL! Really??? Nevertheless, it is worth something to try because this restaurant is included one of the top 10 restaurants in Rio de Janeiro.

Our second lunch stop on our food crawl, and probably my favorite. Great set up with all the tapas on display, and it really felt like we were back in Madrid! Garlic, peppers, olives, potatoes, seafood salad, hearts and palm, OYSTERS!, Serrano ham.... yes we were in foodie heaven. The staff was so warm and happy to share everything with us! Truly a great spot!

Stumbled across this restaurant on the way back to my hotel during my last day in Rio. This was definitely a local favorite and you can tell. There weren't many tables there. I selected some mixed seafood from the display to purchase. Ordered my last caiparihini and IT WAS Strong and I was not complaining. Great local spot with good food

Best calamari I have ever had in my entire life! And the pickled garlic is also amazing! Service is also awesome. I'm extremely happy I found this place and am definitely coming back.

This place is great. We came here after sugar loaf and it was amazing. The views from the pagoda were especially good.

Had an awesome time here. Mostly a local place. The staff here was very accomodating to us non locals. This place is great.

This is a gem that is a favorite of locals and tourists. Adega Perola has been serving up "tapa" style food for over 50 years. Saddle up to the counter, or grab a table if you are lucky, and start pointing. With a glass counter running the length of the restaurant, you can just walk up and down and order a portion of whatever tickles your fancy. They also have a pretty good beer selection to wash it all down with. Dont get me wrong, this place has a bit of a dive atmosphere, but if you are there for the food, you wont be disapointed.

I checked this place out with a couple of friends a few times while I was in Rio. This place has the feel of classic bohemian Copacabana. The place is very small and gets packed quickly. Lots of delicious seafood tapas and many many cold draft beers. I highly recommend the octopus!

Amo este lugar! Great food and more importantly great vibe. Can get a bit hot in the summer, and often crowded, but a great place to drink with friends and good for meeting people too

delicious seafood tapas for a very reasonable price. the chopps start to add up however...great, local spot that was a lot of fun. i highly recommend the food.
