as its abundance of fiercely loyal residents knows, tijuca is a neighborhood that effortlessly exudes a classically conservative vibe without ever losing its carioca-style charisma. the result is a comforting combination that makes visitors instantly feel at home.

for a delightfully local treat of tijuca, visitors should head to bar do adão, a boteco mostly known for its extensive menu  of pasteis - traditional and unique combinations can be ordered, such as gorgonzola with heart of palm and dried meat with queijo coalho, accompanied by a cold beer and a couple friends making it for a nice evening.

we publish more information on bar do adão on this page, while the establishment's official website can be accessed here.
