Delirium Café — Restaurant in Região Geográfica Imediata do Rio de Janeiro

Visited in July 2024. Brazil. Rio de Janeiro.

This is a true haven for those of us craving a good imported beer. It's no secret that finding a decent selection in Brazil can be a challenge, so we were thrilled to discover Delirium. The bar itself is small, with a handful of tables outside. Inside, it was bustling with activity, which is always a good sign.

Food:

Usually, when a place boasts a wide beer selection, the food is an afterthought. If there are more than three or four beers on offer, you’re probably limited to basic snacks. We were pleasantly surprised by the variety of appetizers and dishes, akin to a full-fledged restaurant. We went for the sausages and the burger, and both were cooked to perfection. The burger was outstanding, with a balanced combination of sauces, a juicy patty, crispy bacon, and melted cheese. The beef itself was high-quality, free of gristle, cooked to a perfect medium, and had a subtle smoky flavor – a real treat. The sausage was succulent, with the melted cheese adding to its juiciness. And of course, the real star of the show is the vast selection of imported beers.

Service:

The service was excellent. Our waiter was helpful in guiding us through the beer selection. The food arrived promptly. We were very pleased with the service. It's also a bonus that they have a menu with pictures.

Overall:

If you're a fan of imported beers, Delirium is a must-visit. They have a huge selection of Belgian beers, some German brews, they have our favorite one Schneider Weisse tap 5, and of course, local options. You won't go hungry either - we highly recommend...

Delirium Cafe was an excellent, small tap house and beer enthusiast experience. From what I found on Google Maps, I was hoping for: a good burger a decent beer selection maybe a server willing to put up with my terrible Portuguese

We got: very well made burgers (my DC Presidente was excellent) awesome beer selections both Brazilian and international really attentive and accommodating service the ambience/aesthetic/whatever you want to call it is cool and expressive of the place's love of beers the world over

I'd gladly recommend this to anyone looking for good food and beers at a great price. An Uber there and back is well...

Delirium Café is the beer bar the Río really needs. There are plenty of cocktail bars but this is a fantastic option for wonderful beer. You'll find many imports from Belgium, Germany, and the US along with some Brazilian brews. Don't get too excited before ordering. You'll find they don't have many beers on the menu for whatever reason. It's pretty disappointing but a replacement beer will still be good. The burgers are their main entrée. They're actually very good, and the vegetarian one would be a good choice for anyone! Indoor and outdoor seating is available. Staff doesn't speak much English but does accept...
