Boteco
First published on . Updated on 7 Feb 2012.

In Sydney right now, South American food is the new Asian food, and one of the best places to get it is at this ‘Bar de Petisco’, or Brazilian-style bar selling tasty morsels alongside well executed cocktails. Waiters are dapper, attentive and South American – these boys from Brazil are ready to offer you a finely balanced Pisco Sour, a sea-salt encrusted Margarita or a Hemingway dacquiri, while fruitier options include a Acai Amazonico Batida (all $16). Wines are Chilean and Argentinean (seven by the glass) and beers such as Argentina’s crisp Quilmes ($8) are a salve for the saltiness of chicken croquettes, jamon crudo, bacalhau (cod balls) or a fiery chorizo. There are more delicate flavours too, such as an exceptional snapper ceviche – order it on a Thursday and they’ll throw in a glass of pinot grigio for $17. Boteco is one of Cleveland Street’s best options for a civilised drink-and-dine – reserve a table and spend an evening working your way through the cocktail list.
