Sabia Boteco
7.8
Sabia Boteco is the pan-Latin tapas bar and lounge attached to Rainhas, built around cocktails, small plates, and moody lighting rather than full rodizio service. It’s a strong play for couples who want a more casual, bar-forward date—sharing sliders, empanadas, and shrimp tostadas over cocktails in a room that runs later than most of the neighborhood. Think first-date drinks that can easily turn into a light dinner.
Must-Try Dishes:
Crispy Pork Buns, Short Ribs Arepa, Shrimp Tostada
