Known forcommunity barlemeauthenticfood destination
Perched at the edge of the Chapéu Mangueira favela above Leme beach, Bar do David is a genuinely special place run by the warm and charismatic David Bispo. The food — particularly the moqueca and the fried fish — is outstanding, and the cold beer tastes better with that view. Getting there requires a short walk up into the community, which is safe and well-organized for visitors.
