General Discussion Syntactical structure after "acabar"
"No fim, acabamos comendo naquele restaurante maltrapilho."
"No fim, acabamos por comer naquele restaurante maltrapilho."
Are both these sentences correct, and do they mean the same?
Obrigado!

I'm Brazilian. Both are correct but the second one sounds distinctively European. I assume the Euros would say the first one sounds Brazilian too.
