trapiche gamboa is a restaurant dedicated to celebrating good food and samba, with more the enough dancing room for the more discerning - located between pedro do sal and largo da prainha, in the gamboa neighborhood.

live music performances are from tuesday through friday, playing samba, ciranda, maracatu, and jongo around the central table on the ground floor - rhythmic music is always on the menu, but for those looking to satisify one's hunger, there is a variety of 'tiragostos', which are small, warm and delicious finger food platters.
