Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Churrasco. I ordered it with caipirinha and the robust and filling elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. manioc flour farinha in particular became more prominent in a good way.

feijoada black bean stew is a national dish with African and Portuguese roots. The a Rio de Janeiro boteco bar is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Churrasco with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
