la carioca is an intimate and cozy restaurant with a menu offering superb peruvian dishes - the bar is located in the calm zona sul neighborhood of jardim botânico, where the botanical garden can be found, providing a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

the food, drink, and décor are heavily influenced by peru, and upon arrival guests can sample a wide range of specially made cocktails and craft beers - the traditional distilled pisco soul is a fiery peruvian favourite made from grape and chilcano. 

the pilsner and malted beers provide relief from the spicier dishes, while the sparkling rosé sangria may appeal to those with a more delicate palate.

seafood features prominently on the menu with various options of the classic ceviche, such as octopus, scallops, white fish, and shrimp - the unique blend of the 'russo' ceviche of sardines, cucumber, and sour cream is also highly recommended while the salmon with soy sauce, lemon, chives, and honey never fails to disappoint.
