Vá com tempo para apreciar toda a gama de entradas, aperitivos e afins. Um detalhe que faz a diferença é a divisória de vidro que separa o restaurante da cozinha. Luxuoso, simples e especial! :-)
A required stop for foodies (and big-name chefs from Ducasse to Adrià). Try the shrimp infused with cashew juice and tamarind and the banana-lime dessert.
Como diz o nome, um verdadeiro paraíso tropical. Com uma gastronomia tradicional e caseira e ambiente agradável. Saboreie a deliciosa moqueca do Beto.
for new years eve, agreed with locals, you'll have to come see fireworks here at least once in your life. (preferably from high up on a roof top)
great spot for photos - especially around dusk. the mountain Urca, next to it, is where you should get a helicopter ride around Açúcar and the beaches and around Cristo. well worth it.
for sure, my most favorite beach in Rio. well worth the ride out to spend an afternoon here.
the mains were next-level, but it's really those delicious unlimited sides that get you.
an amazing spot for dinner: the chicken with curry; the camarão; the desserts.
the rooftop pool is a must-visit, whether during the day for a dip or evening for a party.
beautiful neighborhood in the hills; reminded of small towns in south of france walking these streets.
one of the best meals - and a great, romantic spot in santa teresa overlooking the hills, too.
a classic old spot; best for drinks when you're waiting to get a table at another spot in the neighborhood.
for an afternoon with good views (and when you can't get into the pool next door)
whatever you do, for sure do two things: order only the pizzas. and order at least one of the 'portuguesa' pizza.
for when you're out here and want to take surf lessons (i think it happens on praia da macumba). this trip is also a good way to stop by Prainha for the late afternoon.
literally is a tire repair shop by day with a shirtless, pot-bellied owner to prove it. At night, the tires are piled up, the bar opens, the D.J.’s arrive and sweaty bedlam ensues. Read more.
Talvez a melhor cozinha de Salvador. Peça o Xinxim de Moela com Pão na entrada; a Feijoada de Frutos do Mar como prato principal e uma batida de Diolino pra acompanhar!!!!
Find an empty table in the narrow alleyway between the bar and the evangelical church next door, affectionately known as the Beco do França
At the understatedly chic Fasano, Philippe Starck–designed rooms have billowing silk curtains and Sergio Rodrigues chairs. We love the rooftop pool's knockout views of Ipanema’s crescent-shaped beach.
At Ipanema’s Italian-influenced Satyricon, choose from the tank’s stock of live lobster and crayfish, or opt for delicacies such as the just-caught sea bream, baked in a rock-salt crust.
Rio-born designer Gilson Martins uses the city’s landmarks (Christ the Redeemer; the Lapa arches) as inspiration for the stylized patterns on his inimitable satchels, wallets, and handbags.
The ever-changing menu at chef Roberta Sudbrack's namesake restaurant focuses on seasonal ingredients sourced from local purveyors (like slow-cooked lamb with chervil or panqueca de doce de leite).
A go-to place for modern Brazilian cuisine, run by chef Pedro de Artagão. Get the pirarucu fish with sautéed banana.
Local designer Ricardo Bräutigam creates street clothes with serious attitude—black-silk vests; T-shirts emblazoned with rebellious slogans—that are a hit among Rio’s young and stylish set.
Designer and entrepreneur Juliana Hemerly Silva’s line has developed a cult following with its zany, colorful sneakers, made of foldable nylon and completely customizable.
