Bar Urca - Rio de Janeiro

Very posh and scenic spot. I heard the cafe downstairs is the spot to be seen at bourdain was here for the pastels! We came a little late night after...

We enjoyed this family style restaurant. It was busy but we scored a table for two immediately. A little surprised that shrimp Milanese meant fried shrimp...

Best meal in Rio! Seafood is so fresh and delish n priced reasonably . You cannot miss this meal when you are in Rio!

As soon as I arrived in Rio, my friend Javier arranged to take me to lunch in a nice little bar where the food made from seafood rules. In it, people buy the food and will sit on the coast that lies in front of the local. When I was there a large group of cyclists made a stop to have some fresh beers and fill the stomach that so much physical activity seemed to have emptied. I honestly don't know them because my friend, like every good host, has to settle the debts. It is a corner of one of those that one should know, there are no tourists there, so chatting with the locals gives an extra touch to the site.

The Urca Bar has been one of the most pleasant places of the Rio de Janeiro meeting since 1939. Cold beer neighborhood, view of Guanabara Bay and tranquility make this bar a must-see destination for those who wish to experience Rio as the locals do. On the top floor of a restaurant and comfortable, ideal to enjoy Brazilian dishes as well. But what the Urca Bar does is a unique place down: Taberna sells beer bottles and traditional snacks for the customer to buy and take to a small wall across the street. Choose a sunny afternoon, meet some friends, buy a beer, sit under the tree in front of the bar and enjoy the sunset, the movement of the boats, and go and come from beautiful people. All this in no hurry. The bar is located on Rua Cândido Gafrée, 205 and works every day.
