Pub Dri: Rio to Lisbon

Recreate the spirit of Rio, namely the tradition of visiting pubs, a drink and eat some snacks before going home. In a relaxed atmosphere, along the waterfront (no Cais do Sodré), abriu, at the end of last year, Boteco Dri. A space that more than a showcase of Brazilian flavors to show and make known that it is a tradition Rio. E, com isso, make known snacks as famous as the cheese bread (the traditional, well-known, but also the stuffed sausage), or meatloaf, cassava (fried yucca), but also broths, the stew or feijoada carioca.

The first thing that draws our attention upon entering the Boteco Dri is the decoration, namely wall paintings. The birds almost seem alive. A painting, with extreme realism, It gives life to a white walls and earn amplitude to a not very large space. The following is the food. To start, something warm, to warm the stomach and the soul. The choice is one of the broths. bean, considered the "best friend of rum" or chicken "that raises defunct". An allusion to traditional Portuguese soups, but the old and traditional, that they supplied and gave power to those working in the field.

The letter is not very extensive. The idea is not so much have a thousand and one dishes, but to show what it really is tradition in Rio de Janeiro. Por isso, apesar de, main dishes have some alternatives like stroganoff or traditional picanha our suggestion is that you try the Rio mincemeat. Served with rice, pepper and manioc flour promises to surprise.

At the end, especially if it is greedy(a) end with a Drilicious. A combination hyper sweet mega leading mascarpone, chocolate, cookie and coffee. The idea is that this is a dessert to share. Mas …. if even greedy can choose to ask for a just for you.
