In the heart of the old town, O Boteco offers the finest Brazilian cuisine. But the restaurant also knows how to convince with its relaxed and stylish ambience. Dark wood is surrounded by rough plastered walls, lots of greenery and visual eye-catchers like the large colorful chandelier that hangs above the tables. A must-try among the appetizers is the ceviche amazónico with black tiger prawns. Gin fans shouldn't miss O Talho. Reservations recommended!
