Bar do Alemão
Bar do Alemão – Schwarzwald
A German pub in the old town's Largo da Ordem, opened in 1979. Its 'submarine' beer and carne de onça are the city's calling cards.
Bar do Alemão is officially named Schwarzwald and was founded in 1979 by René Strobel. It sits on the Largo da Ordem pedestrian street in the historic centre and still keeps the rustic wooden furniture from when it opened. Its six rooms can hold several hundred people. The signature 'submarine' drops a small glass of Steinhäger gin into a draft beer, and the glass can be taken home as a souvenir. Carne de onça is seasoned raw minced beef served with rye bread, onion and spring onion, and it is listed as intangible cultural heritage of Curitiba. German sausages and other traditional dishes are also served. Prices are mid-range, and it is busiest on weekends after a visit to the old-town market.
