BAR Cafezinho

September 11, 2007 By 2 Comments

Bar Cafezinho owes its existence to it’s owner’s love of Brazilian music; Samba, Bossa Nova and Pagode. A cafe during the day and a bar come evening, Bar Cafezinho’s strongest point is the cheap cheap menu. You can get good, strong, Brazilian coffee at only ¥200 a cup and the whisky here is also remarkably cheap at roughly half the price you’ll find elsewhere. Here’s my lunch; a vegetarian coconut curry (spicy! spicy!) for ¥550 and Cafe Com Leite at ¥200:

Here are some more items off the menu:

All coffee: ¥200
Beers Draft (Small): ¥300 (Medium): ¥450 (Large): ¥500
Heineken: ¥400 Guinness: ¥450 Corona: ¥500
Cocktails: ¥380
Whiskies and Bourbons ~ from ¥350
Early Times: ¥350
Jack Daniels / Black Bush / Johnnie Walker: ¥400
A Glass of Wine (red or white): ¥350
Snacks: ¥200 – ¥300
An extensive range of sandwiches (large) at ¥280
Pilaf: ¥500 Dry Curry: ¥500
Brazilian Garlic Steak: ¥1000

There’s no table service here, so order your meal at the counter and remember to return your dishes when you have finished. Bar Cafezinho is open from 9:00 am ~ 22:00 pm. On Saturdays they have a Samba jam session that anyone can join from 17:00 pm. To find it walk west of Shimogamo Hondori on Kitaoji Dori and watch out for a Brazilian flag on your left. It’s right opposite the great big red “Lucky” pachinko monstrosity on the north side of the road. Tel: 075 712 5477

    Hi there,

    Thank you for your comment on this post. I’m afraid this is simply a review of the cafe and I am not connected to the owners. Perhaps you could contact them directly? You can find the mail address by doing a quick Google search for Bar Cafezinho.

    Best wishes,

    Michael Lambe
