Between April 10th and May 10th, Rio bars participate in the 19th edition of Food di Buteco, one of the most traditional gastronomic contests in the country, which invites the public to elect the best snacks in the city. This year, the circuit brings together dozens of boats scattered around the capital, as well as houses in Baixada Fluminense and Niterói, reinforcing the diversity and strength of bar culture in the state.
With a standardized price of R$ 40 for snacks throughout the country, the contest has popular voting and evaluation of specialized jurors, who analyze criteria such as taste, presentation, hygiene and attendance. At each edition, about 20% of the participating bars are renewed, maintaining the dynamic gastronomic script and stimulating competitiveness between veterans and beginners.
The theme of 2026 is “green”, challenging bars to explore ingredients such as leaves, stalks and flowers in the creation of dishes. The proposal encourages creativity and the rescue of techniques and flavors, resulting in recipes that combine barco tradition with culinary innovation.
For the public, the experience goes beyond tasting and becomes a road map by the city. Below are some of the participating bars, with their respective snacks and addresses:
