Angu do Gomes is a historic, no-frills eatery in downtown Rio, famous for its traditional “angu” — a soft cornmeal polenta served with hearty toppings such as minced beef, offal, sausage or chicken. Originating as a street stall in the 1950s, it preserves a nostalgic, boteco-style atmosphere and offers simple, comforting Brazilian dishes with generous portions and honest flavours.
