Places to eat in Rio

We select some places to eat for you to choose when you are here....

Aprazivel - Very good restaurant in Santa Teresa. We will have to see how will it be during Carnival... The website is in portuguese, but is very pleasant and I'm sure you like it. [NYTimes Travel Review | TripAdvisor Review]

Bar d'Hôtel - It's a bistrot in Marina All Suites Leblon. My sister Julia said it has a very beautiful view of the beach and the food and drinks are very good. [NYTimes Travel Review]

Giuseppe Grill - A very good restaurant for eating meat, in a very different environment of a Churrascaria. Also in Leblon, but not on the beach. We like it very much and they also have very good wines! Its website is in portuguese. [NYTimes Travel Review | TripAdvidor Review]

Porcão ou Rio Brasa - two of the best Churrascarias in Rio. Porcão has several restaurants in Rio and Rio Brasa is in Barra da Tijuca, close to our new home. Both sites are in portuguese only. We'll pick at least one... :-)

Casa da Feijoada - very good (but also touristic) place in Ipanema to eat Feijoada, if you want it. Other option is to ask my mother or father to make one Feijoada at their homes :-) [NYTimes Travel Review | TripAdvisor]



Balada Mix or Bibi Sucos (or both) - typical carioca places to grab a snack - juice and sandwich. [NYTimes Travel Review]

Zozô Rio - located in the base of Pão de Açúcar, it has large windows to appreciate it. We never went, but people say it has excelent food and meat. 

Braz or Rascal - very good pizzarias close to home. Both came from São Paulo, where they make very good pizzas. Alberto may complain that Italian pizza are best, but... you will be in Rio!! :-) [TripAdvisor Review]

Barbecue at our balcony - of course we will prepare some barbecue in our balcony (churrasqueira). It will be fun to go to the pools and eat after it.
