So a friend and I decided to celebrate signing up for capoeira by grabing a bite and having a few caipirinhas at Rio 40 up the street.
It was nice warm evening so we sat out on their streetside patio and quickly realized that all the other tables were speaking protuguese. You know the place is going to be good when it attracts all the expats.
We had a few caipirinhas to kick things off. They make them really well but at $6.50 ea, it's a little pricey. On the other hand, they have $4 pints of Horseshoe draft.
The food is not what most Torontonians would expect from a Brazilian restaurant (it doesn't come to your table on a sword served by a gaucho...). This is more like authentic brazilian cusine.
I had the carne seca com mandico (cassava), which is served in a delicious sauce with fried onions. Deeeeelicious!
