Daily Feijoada with All the Trimmings
Feb.5, 2011
While feijoada is served in a myriad of restaurants in Brazil, few are the ones which specialize almost exclusively in the dish, or which serve it daily as does Casa da Feijoada in Rio.
Open since 1985, the restaurant in Ipanema serves its fare with the meats each in their own soapstone dish, so that less-ardent offal eaters can take their pick. There are roughly a dozen kinds of meat, including linguiça, beef, smoked bacon, sun-dried meat, smoked ox tongue, paio and pig's ear.
The feijoada is served with all the traditional sides - rice, farofa, collard greens, fried cassava, pork rinds and orange.
The price includes a drink - caipirinha or batida - and a dessert such as doce de leite or doce de abóbora (pumpkin compote).
Other typical Brazilian dishes are available, such as the caldeirada (a seafood stew) or tutu à mineira.
Daily from noon to midnight
About $25 and up per person for the feijoada with trimmings, dessert and drink
Major credit cards accepted
