Porcão, Rio de Janeiro

Don't be confused by the name—which means "big pig" in Portuguese—this is a comfortably elegant place serving good barbeque to a sophisticated clientele. Popular with the rich and famous, you may come face to face with soccer stars and TV personalities. Choose from many different cuts of beef, pork, mutton and chicken served on spits directly at your table. Seafood and salads are also offered. There is a separate area with more privacy for private events.
