Something different, yay!!!
I've been to Brazil (only Brazilian restos =P), but a few of my friends are Brazilians and they say it's authentic... I take their word for it!!
So my past Brazilian food experience were waiters with skewers of grilled meat.... VERY DELISH, but Rio 40 is different!! It's more authentic (and less gimmicky)!!
Drinks - caipirinha (sugar cane rum) was quite good!!
Food - ordered a pincanha, linguiƧa, carne seca and iscas de peixe (all traditional Brazilian appies). Everything was very tasty, but rather dry. Large portions!! We were like four people sharing these and still couldnt finish everything...
Location - Bathurst and St-Clair (where I'd like to call the latino square)!!
Venue - pretty accommodating. We had a large group of 20. And it worked out fine!!
Staff - the girl who served us was very friendly and knowledgeable. Adorable!!
Look forward to checking this place out in Summer, on the patio..... Must be fun!!
