FOOD - WHAT TO NOT MISS
Maybe the most famous food in Rio is actually a “chopinho”, a draft beer.
There is nothing that spells Rio and the local vibe as a draft beer at the sound of bossa nossa music with friends on the beach.
Of course some would say that a fresh coconut water is the best recipe for the hot and amazing weather you will find when visiting Rio.
We agree with both statements, and with it, some “queijo coalho”, a white grilled cheese on a stick with optional oregano, or a barbecue after the beach, is as local as it gets.
GASTRONOMY IN RIO DE JANEIRO
In Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Espírito Santo, and Minas Gerais, feijoada is popular, especially as a Wednesday or Saturday lunch. Also consumed frequently is picadinho (literally, diced meat) and rice and beans. In Rio de Janeiro, besides the feijoada, a popular plate is any variation of grilled beef fillet, rice and beans, farofa, fried garlic and fried potatoes (batatas portuguesas), commonly called filé à Osvaldo Aranha. Seafood is very popular in coastal areas, as is roasted chicken (galeto). The strong Portuguese heritage also endowed the city with a taste for bolinhos de bacalhau(fried cod fritters), one of the most common street foods there.
