Consagrado

High-end, contemporary adaptation of boteco trades in tiles and framed photos of a typical ‘60s Rio de Janeiro-style bar for candle-lit tables, low lighting and shelves stacked with high-brow photography books. Draped canvas on the ceiling and cushy couches turn it into a lounge that’s a kick-back spot for corporate types flocking from the surrounding office buildings. Feast on international fare and nix the usual fried faves. Best seats are next to department-store-sized windows that offer prime views of corner location.
