Luísa Sonza and Chico Moedas: what Galeto Sat’s is like – 09/20/2023 – Food

Hot night. The Botafogo branch of Galeto Sat’s is located on Rua Real Grandeza, a few meters from São João Batista, the cool cemetery. It is the meeting point for dissatisfied fans after Sunday football.

Welcoming all passers-by from the south zone, the bar forms a mosaic representing Rio de Janeiro in 2023. It has everything: the banker and the banker share space with the pregnant woman and the retiree.

And it would have been in the bathroom of that bar that Chico Veiga, better known as Chico Moedas, betrayed Luísa Sonza, getting into a fight with a mysterious brunette. Scandal on national television. Two blondes and a parrot mourn their broken hearts and lack of consideration for their ex-girlfriend’s aunt. Here is a new tourist spot in Rio de Janeiro.

Embittered, the singer hurled insults at the establishment. She said the bar’s bathroom was dirty. Galeto Sat’s is not a dirty foot. As with all restaurants in the region, it’s expensive to have a torrid night in that bathroom.

Furthermore, Galeto Sat’s acquired its reputation for being a place where people drink a lot, preferably draft beer: for R$ 6.50 the drink becomes light, cold, creamy, a delicacy that is missing in São Paulo.

The succession of draft beers relieves the heat and sweat. The mood changes, it makes you want to do like Jards Macalé and sing the lines from the song “Rua Real Grandeza”: “Ah, it’s worth being a poet!”. When the streetlights transform into distant constellations, a visit to the bathroom is imperative. The tiny sink precedes the toilets, as well as a queue of those in distress.

Once the wait is over, the heat isn’t just relieved either. In the dim light of the cubicle, there can always be room for one more person, because love and betrayal, those terrible things, don’t knock on the door, they are sentimental assaults. And so man washes his hands of destiny.

Back at the table, the garnishes turn out to be plentiful, endless pleasures, like encounters in bar bathrooms. It’s known: the chicken heart portion at Galeto Sat’s is hors-concours. It costs R$29.00. If hunger resists, there is still a complete juicy picanha. In short, a Rio bar, as every bar should be.

Galeto Sat’s has other restaurants. In Copacabana, retirees crowd into a tiny bar. At Barra da Tijuca, which opened in May, the frequency is different, I can only imagine. Once your hangover is over, drink some black coffee, turn on the TV, watch Mais Você. After trying bossa nova, what will become of Luísa Sonza? Open Twitter. Has she ever called herself the Brazilian Adele?
