On every street corner, busstation and airport in Brazil you will find a lanchonete, a mixture of café and bar.
 		  

 		  
Here you find basics like cold beer, snacks, cigarettes, soft drinks, coffee and sometimes small meals. 
Padarias (bakeries) often have a lanchonete attached, and they're good places for cheap snacks.

bares8.jpg (8784 bytes)		     Despite all these salgados that you find at the lanchonete, it might be less easy to find something to go with your beer or caipirinha on a terrace. No tapas, nuts, tortilla chips or salami. You ask for a petisco and maybe they will fry some batatas or mandioca fritas for you. Or bolinhas de bacalhau.
