"This far-flung restaurant is an exceptional take on the classic boteco, run by the young, charismatic chef Rodrigo Olveira. Try his Northeastern Brazilian classics like escondidinho, a rich little meat-and-manioc pie."
on Escondidinho
"Another standout, carne de sol (salted air-dried beef), isn’t dry in the least. That’s because Oliveira cooks it sous vide for 24 hours before serving it smothered with roasted garlic on a hot metal slab."
on Carne de sol
"The carne de sol asado set the bar for my every meal in Brazil after that. Exquisite, and my top recommendation."
on Carne de sol
"We suggest baião de dois (rice and beans with coalho cheese, sausage, bacon and jerked beef)."
"His creativity is evident in everything - starting from the iconic mocotó (cow’s foot broth) that gives the restaurant its name."
on Mocotó
"Mr. Oliveira’s version of escondidinho, shredded dried beef hidden under a layer of puréed manioc root au gratin, is flawless."
on Escondidinho
"It was time to taste the Carne de Sol, which, by the way, was divine! And there is a whole technique to taste it. First, put a layer of roasted garlic on the meat, then a little beak pepper and, finally, a little bit of Manteiga-de-garrafa. Need I say anything else?"
on Carne de sol
"The most expected was the Carne de sol with Baião de Dois (a classic from the Mocotó restaurant), in a new version of Esquina, with creamy rice and Pão de queijo. Great! Carne de sol was soft, juicy and perfectly salted."

"In its complete version, the recipe here uses cheese, accompanied by a delicious vinaigrette, couscous and puree. The best version is with sun-dried meat and goes very well with the juices/teas of the day."
"The Escondidinho de carne seca is just the best I've ever eaten. Kind of pricey for the average brazilian, but everyone should get themselves this treat if they can. Goes very well with their tangerine sauce ou the pepper sauce. I just feel so thankful for getting to eat this dish."
