It’s almost impossible not to notice the sunshine yellow tables punctuating a corner of Rio’s historic Praça Floriano, in Cinelândia. This is the signature of Amarelinho, one of the oldest restaurants in Rio. Generation after generation has regarded this restaurant as a reference point of the city. Amarelinho is known for a menu of typical Rio fare for really decent prices, especially considering their generous portions. You will see many ordering the pizza and extra cold chop (beer on tap). Their respectable reputation coupled with a great location, has made them a favorite with travelers as well.
Many go before a show at the teatro municipal, the speedy service is a bonus. Others head to nearby Lapa after.
