Café entertainment in Brazil

  1. A

    Aluarte

    This alluring and romantic cavelike nightspot is whimsically lit with perforated metal lamps decked with colored streamers. Lounge on the cushions with your paramour while eating fondue, or duck out back to the herbal hot tub under the trees (by reservation only, R$100 per couple for 1½ hours, including tea, fruit, water and candles). On slow nights, Pedro may invite you into the kitchen to chat while he cooks you pizza on top of the wood stove. On holiday weekends, there’s live music.

    Café Neves

    Small but charming, Café Neves is one of Santa Teresa’s gems. It faces out onto Largo das Neves, with the occasional tram rattling by in the early evening. The open-sided bar draws a vibrant mix as the weekend nears.

  3. Restaurant-Bars

    Praça Bandeira has a handful of outdoor Restaurant-Bars overlooking the river. It's a popular place to nurse a few tall beers and contemplate the new pedestrian bridge, which at night is bathed in a hypnotic blue light.
