Mocotó
With the look and spirit of a small, unpretentious lunch place, Mocotó surprises its clientele with a feast of colors, flavors, textures and smells of traditional northeastern Brazilian food, all prepared with exquisite taste and presented in an impeccable form. Main chef and co-owner Rodrigo Oliveira has transformed his father’s small shop in a multi-awarded place where people stand in line for hours to try some of the best food Brazil has to offer. A favorite is the torresmo, a pork belly strip marinated in salted water for six hours, then dried for another six hours before being served with chips and beer. It's a little bit far from the center of the city, but it's one of the best place in the world.
