Bar Zinho

This is a small, cozy and incredibly good value Brazilian bar in north Kyoto. You may have difficulty finding elbowroom as the place seats about 15 people with a squeeze, but the menu seems to cover just about everything. The Master probably has not changed the posters or flags that dot the walls since Pele last played for Brazil, but that cannot be said of the music which is right up to date with the latest Brazilian samba, funk and bossa nova. Well worth a look after a hard day touring the nearby temples. On the menu there is a wide range of South American dishes, salads, curries, spaghetti and sandwiches. There is also a variety of Latin American coffees and special herb teas, plus a heady range of wines, cocktails and probably the cheapest, coldest draft beer in town.
