COPACABANA<br />
Em Copacabana, as galeterias são quase tão tradicionais quanto<br />
o característico calçadão da orla. Ao lado do centro da cida<strong>de</strong>, Copa<br />
é o bairro com a maior concentração <strong>de</strong> galeterias do <strong>Rio</strong>. Esses<br />
restaurantes simples, com cardápio pequeno e ambiente peculiar<br />
são adorados pelos cariocas. O ambiente <strong>de</strong>spojado, as pessoas se<br />
sentam nos gran<strong>de</strong>s balcões circulares, quase sempre <strong>de</strong> frente<br />
para a churrasqueira, mantém o charme démodé, com os garçons<br />
experientes e a iluminação baixa.<br />
Mas, a razão para tamanha popularida<strong>de</strong> é o suculento galeto assado<br />
e seus acompanhamentos. De carne macia e úmida, os galetos<br />
das três casas são boas pedidas num oceano <strong>de</strong> opções. Acompanhe<br />
o franguinho com a clássica farofa <strong>de</strong> ovos, batata frita, molho<br />
vinagrete ou à campanha.<br />

At Copacabana spring chicken rotisseries are almost as characteristic<br />
as the famous si<strong>de</strong>walks. After the city center, Copa is the neighborhood<br />
with the highest concentration of these eateries in the whole of <strong>Rio</strong>. The<br />
Cariocas love these simple places with their uncomplicated menus and<br />
unique ambience. The laid-back atmosphere, the customers seated at<br />
the large circular counters, invariably facing the spit, the experienced<br />
waiters, the dim lighting — all these features combine to give them<br />
their démodé charm.<br />
But the real reason for their huge popularity is the succulent spring<br />
chicken and the si<strong>de</strong> dishes. The moist, ten<strong>de</strong>r meat served at these<br />
three venues comes with a great choice of accompaniments, all worth<br />
trying, from the classic manioc-meal with egg to french fries, from<br />
vinaigrette to molho à campanha, tomato, onion and green pepper<br />
sauce.
