Famous for its lively atmosphere that pulls crowds in on any given day, Petisco da Vila serves a wonderful selection of appetizers that satisfy either as a dinner option or a hearty snack. With indoor and outdoor seating available, it is a great option on sunny days, but outdoor seats fill up quickly! It has a delicious menu for lunch and dinner, as well as a per kilogram option that gives customers a substantial selection of food.
Classicos Do Maraca
Classicos do Maraca serves good, honest food, cold beer, and is just the place to fuel up for the next game on your list. The roasted meat meal is homemade daily and highly recommended. The service is friendly and efficient, which is the least customers can hope for on match days when the pressure is on. Prices are reasonable, making it a cheaper option for those looking for budget friendly restaurants.
Mitsuba
Declared by many locals as the ‘best Japanese restaurant in Rio’, this place certainly has won over a strong crowd of fans. With a diverse selection of fresh fish, chef Eduardo Nakahara and his team lovingly and carefully prepare plate after wonderful plate of sushi and other traditional Japanese dishes. It’s a small local establishment so it’s best to arrive early to grab a table. The karasumi, which is a salted mullet roe, is highly recommended.

Feitico da Vila
This place famously serves a galeto (roasted small chicken) that is enough to serve the whole street. Made for two people, the chicken comes with fries, beans, farofa (a Brazilian cassava flour) and a mushroom sauce, guaranteeing it to be more than sufficient to satisfy even the most ravenous appetites. Feitico da Vila also has a well-stocked beer and wine collection to pair with their house hamburgers.
