Holy smokes Batman, Barnabé is just as good if not better than its competitor, Mocotó. Both…read morerestaurants are far away from the city, since both are so far and very close to each other, I give props to Barnabé though, it's right across from a police station and I constantly saw cops walking rounds, and there is plenty of parking on the street since there is a huge church and library across the street. Food: Torresmo (fried pork, fried pork, fried pork,) Queijo coalho frito - (fried little dices shaped tapioca flour and fresh cheese, with guava marmalade dipping sauce) Baião de dois - Feijão fradinho, arroz, pedacinhos de carne seca, tudo com caprichado tempero sertanejo. (like a fried rice but not fried, rice, beans, salted beef chunks, northeastern seasoning) Escondidinho - Purê de mandioca com recheio de carne seca, requeijão e queijo coalho. (like a shepherd's pie, stuffed with pulled salted beef, covered with creamy yucca puree and soft cheese) Food is a tad different from Mocotó, it taste homier and less industrialized (not saying that Mocotó is industrialized), prices are more affordable, service is very friendly, and food comes out quite quick! Overall this place is awesome, if you are debating which one to go, I'd say try both, but if you are short on time and want a local experience, Barnabé will not disappoint.

Really cool spot! The windows behind the bar open up and if you're there at the right time a band…read morewill be playing right behind the bar.

Went to Copas Terraço Bar as a part of the cocktail nights event on the occasion of World Gin Day,…read more2016. I did not know the place but then World Gin Day & Cocktail Nights along with a group of yelper friends, no thinking required, I was there. To get to the place by public transport after dark is kinda dicey as the streets are dark, I recommend that you Uber it or come with friends. The place is quite cool - lots of bean bags, sofas in a ample space upstairs. They do have space downstairs along with a barber shop but I did not get to explore this area. On a chilly day, it tends to get cold here so they place small blankets all around which is a great detail. The overall ambience is quite cool. As it was World Gin Day, I had a Gin & Tonic of the house - they used Bulldog Gin and with a tea infusion and a dash of Campari - quite an interesting mix. Once I had the drink, I saw that their bar menu was, strangely, quite limited. On reading other yelp reviews saying the same thing, I saw comments from the business that states that they over 30 options of G&T - I am yet to see this menu because the menu I saw had like a handful of options, so much so that I repeated the same drink. As for food options, I saw that there was a small kiosk of mercian food - nachos were at R$ 30 which I think were too expensive for what they served. The place has a cool vibe but the service is ordinary and cocktail menu is seriously limited. Also I was told that we had a reservation for our group but when we got there, they had hardly separated sufficient space for us. Maybe we got there a bit too early, maybe this place becomes more interesting later on, maybe they will find the menu with 30 G&T's - I don't really plan on returning to Copas.
