Adega Pérola

Rio de Janeiro


Going strong since 1957, this atmospheric bottle-lined eating and drinking den serves outstanding Spanish and Portuguese small plates, including marinated octopus, whole sardines, stuffed olives, codfish balls, fried squid and marinated shrimp. Just step inside and check out the culinary bounty on the long front counter.

Outdoor tables are a fine spot for an afternoon pick-me-up.
