Tips from locals
Gema means "egg yolk" in Brazilian Portuguese, and the Carioca or Rio native is hence the "yolk" of the Rio de Janeiro egg. Carioca da Gema is a smaller and more intimate club and was one of the first Samba Dance Clubs to open in Lapa.
Almost every night "Carioca da Gema" offers typical high class Samba from Rio. One floor above they have a very nice Pizzaria with the same name.
