The magazine Time Out made a list of the world’s coolest streets. Through a global team of local expert editors and contributors, who each made a case for the coolest street in their city, the magazine chose 30 streets worth a stroll right now.
In 8th place is Arnaldo Quintela, a culinary hotspot in Botafogo, a famous and beautiful neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro.
Time Out highlighted:
“Not too long ago, Botafogo’s Arnaldo Quintela would’ve been a ghost town after work hours. But over the last few years, this street has established itself as a culinary hotspot, and now you can hardly move for people filling its sidewalks each night. Old mechanic shops have become cosy places to eat and drink; groups gather inside and outside traditional bars like Xepa and Treme Treme; and hipster hangouts such as Calma are where to see and be seen. There are more upmarket restaurants for those who prefer to sip fine wine with a standout meal and there are plenty of places to dance ‘til late. If you’re cool, you’re probably there”.
EAT A slice of pizza with a sourdough crust, created by a New York award winning chef, on the rooftop at Ferro e Farinha.
DRINK Any of the signature drinks at Quartinho Bar, one of the first places to open in the neighborhood and a bar so cool their menu is a fanzine. Want a drink that pops in your mouth? Go for Miss Dynamite, Meu Amor with gin, strawberry, Aperol, Lillet, white vermouth, sparkling wine and explosive sugar.
DO A bar crawl followed by a late-night boogie (or headbang, whatever floats your boat). Culto is for rock fans and serves amazing burgers. Macuna plays hip hop and electro, while Mãe Joana is a go-to for samba. For Brazilian music, we have to once again recommend Quartinho – you can’t go wrong.
