Local before arrival
This is how a success story begins: A banker wants to help his brother get on his feet, so he buys him a bar on Largo dos Guimarães. After he goes into retirement, he takes control of the reigns, and begins inviting his old work contacts. Now, this joint is a must in Santa Teresa—which is apparent upon first glimpse of the long queue. But your patience will be rewarded with some of the best bean patties in the city, served alongside ice-cold beer, chicken with okra, polenta, or the famous feijoada.
