Bracarense

Frommer's Review

Once voted the best botequim in town -- the New York Times even proclaimed it the best in Brazil -- Bracarense may be suffering a bit from its own success. On Saturday when the botequim is packed, service often slows to a crawl. Still, Bracarense's beer remains top-shelf. Food quality is another key part of the botequim experience, particularly the little munchy appetizers that go so well with beer. At Bracarense these are in the expert hands of the Minas Gerais native Alaíde, who works miracles in the small kitchen. Waiting talent, too, is important, and though the Bracarense's garçons may not do it with grace or style, they do get the chopp to your table.
