Cultural Tip
In upscale Brazilian hotels it is common to hear the English term ‘room service’ mixed with Portuguese, especially in tourist areas. However, the fully Portuguese version ‘serviço de quarto’ is also perfectly acceptable and may sound a bit more formal. Adding ‘por favor’ before the request (e.g., ‘Por favor, você tem o cardápio do room service?’) is always appreciated.
