Our Local Experts say:

Rio pays homage to the 'mother country' with a number of authentic and excellent Portuguese restaurants. Moreover, you will likely find Portuguese favorites and influences in many of Rio’s fine dining establishments.

Portuguese cooking is similar to Mediterranean cuisine and is characterized by rich and full-flavored dishes. Seafood is very popular with bacalhau (cod), by far the favorite. 'There are more than 365 ways to cook cod, one for every day of the year'. Portuguese wines and desserts (custards, rice pudding) are also distinctive and treasured.
