Rio 40 degrees is located on the corner of St. Clair and Boon Ave., just west of Dufferin Street. They serve up Brazilian, Portuguese and Italian cuisine in a cozy atmosphere.
You might not expect to find a Brazilian eatery in the heart of Corso Italia, but this casual spot is a neighbourhood favourite thanks to its diverse menu and welcoming atmosphere. The fusion-style menu offers authentic Brazilian delicacies (picanha, bitoque, moqueca de peixe) alongside Portuguese dishes and Italian pizzas. The caipirinhas here are a little on the sweet side, but the service is friendly and the portion sizes will satisfy those with a big appetite.
This restaurant offers traditional Brazilian dishes in large portions. Popular for its feijao (black beans) served with rice and collard greens, sweet orange and farofa (toasted yuca flour mixture), this eatery doesn’t disappoint. Service is good and the food is lovingly prepared. A must-try: Caipirinha (sugar cane rum)!
