A Rio chain that started in Flamengo and earned its reputation honestly — Belmonte is the benchmark for the classic carioca boteco experience. The pastel de camarão and cold chopp are the moves here. Multiple locations exist but the original Flamengo spot has the most character and a loyal neighborhood crowd.
