A snack bar located right next to the Cultural Circuit Praça da Liberdade with more than 50 years of tradition, Xodó holds a place in many locals' hearts. The elaborate sandwiches and hamburgers are the main draws here. Try the x-gourmet, a mighty sandwich with prime steak, bacon, cheese, salad, mustard, and caramelized onion. You can order from a selection of delicious milk shakes. For dessert, go for the Italian-style ice cream, served with a variety of toppings with typically Brazilian flavors such as açaí berry.
