The beach across the sidewalk.

Hera is a real botequim — the Brazilian corner bar: tables out on the sidewalk, draft beer poured cold all day and Brazilian food in portions made to share.

The people at these tables are Copacabana locals at Tuesday lunch, hotel guests from the beachfront at breakfast, and a big table of friends on Saturday night. The house serves all three the same way.

Almost every dish comes in half and full — the portions are generous: a half serves two to three people, a full serves four to five. That is how a botequim works: plates go to the middle of the table and everyone helps themselves.

Feijoada, parrilhada, seafood paella, picanha off the hot plate, snacks to go with the beer. And, from 8 in the morning, breakfast for whoever is starting the day by the sea.

These are the Chef's Suggestions — the first page of the menu and what leaves the kitchen most. Almost all in half and full, and the portions are generous: a half serves two to three people, a full serves four to five.

A mug of ice-cold draft beer at Hera, the glass covered in frost
Draft beer

Frozen cold,
in the Caneco Zero Grau

Light or dark, from the 220 ml "garoto" to the 2.5-litre tower for the whole table.

It comes out of the tap cold enough to frost the glass — and that is why the sidewalk fills up before the sun goes down.

Breakfast

The house opens at 8.
So does the beach.

While Copacabana is still waking up, Hera is already serving.

Just left your hotel and want breakfast facing the sea, with no queue and no booking? The sidewalk has been set since eight in the morning, every day.
