A legendary late-night spot in Copacabana, famous for its roasted pork leg sandwich with cheese and pineapple slices—a classic for Rio's night owls.
An established late-night eatery located on Avenida Prado Júnior in Copacabana, famous for its roasted pork leg (pernil) sandwich with pineapple slices. It closed briefly in March 2020 due to the pandemic but was reopened under the management of Antônio Rodrigues, owner of Belmonte and Amarelinho. Some bloggers note that the current version is not exactly the same as the original. On delivery platforms, the pernil sandwich starts at around R$51, and costs about R$65 with cheese and pineapple; dine-in prices may vary. Open until the early hours of the morning, making it perfect for late-night snacks. Closing times vary slightly across sources, so it is recommended to confirm before heading out late.
Opening hours
Daily from around 11:00 to 05:00 the next day (sources vary slightly)
