Bar Cafezinho owes its existence to it’s owner’s love of Brazilian music; Samba, Bossa Nova and Pagode. A cafe/bar, Bar Cafezinho’s strongest point is the cheap, cheap menu. You can get good, strong, Brazilian coffee at only 200 yen 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!) and Cafe Com Leite:
The food menu includes dry curry, pilaf, an extensive range of sandwiches and bacon and eggs! The drinks menu has draft and bottle beer, whiskies and bourbons and cocktails.
There’s no table service here, so order your meal at the counter and remember to return your dishes when you have finished.
To find Bar Cafezinho walk west of Shimogamo Hondori on Kitaoji Dori and watch out for a Brazilian flag on your left.
Bar Cafezinho is open from 8:30 am ~ 18:00 pm (hours may differ)
