The number-one spot for evening drinks and conversation, Boteco Praia attracts all ages to its long arcaded hall and its terrace facing the seafront promenade. Live music nightly. It's a fine place to knock back cold chope (draft beer).
There's a variety of tempting bites (snacks R$7 to R$39), including picanha steak, grilled octopus and spicy sausage, offered by the attentive waiters to soak it all up.
