Restaurants cuisine du monde Rio De Janeiro

The Tropicana restaurant is a small tropical paradise surrounded by forest and mangroves, just a stone's throw from the beach. In a simple atmosphere, under the vast wooden canopies, seafood and fish dishes grace the vast tables around which delighted diners gather. The menu is rich (including the famous peixada, for which people come from all over Rio, and grouper moqueca ) and the dishes are generously served. You don't always have the strength to order dessert. The service is very professional and pleasant.

The Catete Grill is the annex of the Arvel-voyage groups. Well located, close to the Catete metro station. It is an excellent restaurant by the kilo, certainly the best in the area. The buffet is varied and of good quality (salads, hot dishes, grilled meats...). If there is some space left, try the desserts. You can find sushi as well as "minute" cooked meats, lobster, raw vegetables. To be recommended for those who are very hungry at lunchtime! Like all popular restaurants, it's a bit noisy and full. An address to which you often return

Le Térèze is the restaurant of the magnificent Hotel Santa Teresa, now McGallery, in the eponymous district, one of the most beautiful establishments in the city of Rio. The menu, signed by chef Esteban Mateu, is of contemporary inspiration and high quality, and the use of "unconventional plants" is surprising. The wine list (particularly Chilean) is full of surprises. Thursday dinner: tasting menu (with wine). Excellent breakfast too, available daily to non-guests. Prices are reasonable.

At the foot of the Tulip Inn Hotel, the Branch is one of the few restaurants on the mythical Avenida Atlântica, which instead makes the beautiful part of the second zone or the pizzerias without flavor. In a modern and sober decor, the map, contemporary and international, offers delicious shrimp salad with artichokes and vanilla sauce or an amazing piece of beef, pie at the cresson and polenta. 

As in Rio, the Manjericao is an excellent pizzeria that has been delighting fans of this Neapolitan dish for more than 10 years now. This pizzeria has the secret of excellent pizzas with extra-fine dough and original ingredients (taste the house specialty, pizza with basil, nuts, garlic, parmesan and catupiry). Vegetarians will not be outdone. The environment itself is very pleasant. The restaurant is well designed and warm and the team is super professional and pleasant. A sure value in Teresopolis at the right price.

This is without a doubt the best Asian restaurant in Rio, quite simply. In a warm and wooded decor, Nam Thai gives pride of place to Thai dishes, not hesitating to spice up some of them to give them almost the original flavour of the kingdom of Siam. Some dishes are unavoidable: the Nuea Massaman (beef strips, coconut sauce, almonds and curry of aniseed and cinnamon, very spicy!), or the Pad Pong Garee (shrimps, ginger, sweet peppers and Indian curry). Try it with your eyes closed!

A fixture in the heart of Búzios for 25 years, Bar do Zé (which is not just a bar, but one of Búzios' top-rated restaurants) has made a name for itself with its fine cuisine featuring fish and sweet-savory combinations, such as grouper with banana and cashew nuts, and its setting facing Praia do Armação, on the Orla Bardot. Its straw hut style gives it a rustic chic feel. Candlelit evenings add to the romanticism of the place. Seating close to the terrace with a view of the sea lends itself perfectly to dinner for two.

The restaurante bom Sabor is an interesting option in Araruama. Admittedly, it's a little sanitized, but it's functional and pleasant. Bom Sabor offers a buffet of quality food by the kilo. We come here especially for its Japanese sushi options. (sashimi, sushi, makimonos uramaki and ossomaki. Hot sushi is also available. The "combos" are made up of different assortments and contain up to 80 pieces. Open only until 4pm, however.

On Fora beach in Trindade, 30 kilometers from the city of Paraty, Vagalume do Meio is a seafood restaurant. Logically enough for a beach restaurant, it serves fish, seafood and grilled meats. The seafood risotto is hearty enough for 3 or 4 people. The shrimp portions are also generous. Fish in shrimp sauce (molho de camarao), seafood caldeiradas, lobster tails... In short, a simple and interesting gastronomic experience.

Bartholomeu has become one of the best restaurants in Paraty. For the meat of course, but not only. It must be said that the chef, Don Julio, is an Argentinean who has been living in Brazil for a long time. So he knows about meat. But his menu goes far beyond the "picanha". He offers a delicious modern international cuisine, inspired by Argentine recipes. Try the picanha with Roquefort cheese, it's a success. Excellent wine list (Argentinean, of course!). The plate reflects the decoration: sophisticated and refined.

The small door and the long corridor of the entrance do not suggest such a space... When you enter the establishment, it is an explosion of colors. The place is decorated with care and you can sit in the room or on the patio. In this decor with hippie accents and a Zen atmosphere, we find on the menu perfectly executed Thai specialties, with delicate flavors, carefully presented in banana leaves. Pad Thai, of course, but also shrimp curry and vegetarian dishes. The service is very pleasant.

For a few years now, this store of Amazonian culinary specialties has brought the flavors of Pará to Rio de Janeiro and seduced the demanding Cariocas. It must be said that the virtues and flavors of the acai, an Amazonian berry, are now known far beyond the borders of Pará. The Tacacà do Norte store is entirely dedicated toaçai na tigela, (açai ice cream). The neighboring store Tacacà do Norte Gourmet, offers typical Amazonian dishes, such as the eponymous tacacà or the vatapa, a shrimp soup. A change of scenery guaranteed!

For 3 years now, this former store founded in 1854 has been transformed, much to the delight of the bohemian Santa Teresa district, into a bar and pousada that has quickly made a name for itself in the sun. The traditional coverings have been preserved, and the mix of old and new has been perfectly adapted to the spirit of the place. Modern cocktails alternate with traditional cooked dishes or beautifully crafted caipirinhas. The "spirit of Santa Teresa" is guaranteed, with good ao vivo music on certain evenings.

Argentinean restaurant, to satisfy the strong community of holidaymakers hermanos (brothers, that's how Brazilians call their southern neighbors). Obviously, the best meat in asado (barbecue) in all its forms: picanha, entrecote, olho de bife... All to be accompanied by a good bottle of Malbec. Very pleasant patio. Tango shows are offered on Tuesday nights. Obviously, if you don't like meat, you will lose a bit of the soul of this restaurant which puts forward the Argentinean traditions.

Giuseppe Mar is a restaurant in Barra's Village Mall, dedicated entirely to seafood. The restaurant's trademark is a display case filled with ice, fish and seafood brought in daily by the teams of divers and fishermen. Depending on the day's arrivals, guests can choose from grouper, whiting or sea bass for their dishes. The prices are high but the menu, very well prepared, will certainly justify exceeding the budget.

In the beautiful "Village mall" of Barra de Tijuca, Adega Santiago (a franchise that can be found in São Paulo) features Spanish and Portuguese cuisine. We recommend the seafood dishes (cod, paella, black paella, tuna salad, cod fritters), which are very good. Vegans can try a very good veggie paella. On a nice wine list, you can find excellent Chilean wines. The seats near the large windows offer a superb view of the beach of Barra. A bit expensive.

You won't necessarily appreciate its location, in a shopping center, especially the one in Barra, far from the center and south of Rio, where tourists are usually to be found. However, once you're there, it's clear that the Gabbiano is a fine Italian restaurant, well worth "relocating" to this remote area for an evening. In fact, everything is done to make you love the place. The restaurant was designed by the architect Bel Castro, the waiters are super pro and the food very good. L'ospitalità italiana!

For lovers of Asian cuisine, Mr. Lam appears more and more as a must. The place itself, near the lagoa, in one of the most popular neighborhoods of Rio, is already an invitation to travel. This magnificent residence propels us to China, under the protective shadow of the Ming statues. Chef Lam has "repatriated" many of his dishes from his London and New York establishments. Traditional satay dishes (shrimp and chicken), spring rolls but also an interesting tasting menu at R$ 300. Worth knowing!

In the pleasant Gavea district, near the Jockey Club, Braseiro da Gavea is a veritable institution. In a rather sober and cosy setting, the food is simple and of high quality. The traditional picanha takes the lion's share. The side dishes are also of high quality (rice with broccoli, potatoes, sausages...). Arrive early on weekends, as tables fill up quickly. Beer and caipirinha accompany the dishes. The service is very professional, the setting pleasant...What else?

Here, we are not in the standards of the great restoration but it is precisely what we like to find at random in the streets of Rio. In the district of Catete, very central between the commercial and cultural activities of the Centro and the beaches and animations of the South zone, the rotisseria Sirio Libanesa is an interesting option. In this small restaurant, often crowded, you can find the classic esfiha, the kibe, very good fruit juices. A good plan, cheap.

The quiet Las Sorrentinas restaurant is one of the few places on Ilha Grande to delight the palate of gourmets and novices alike. This cozy, wood-framed restaurant is run by Argentinian chefs, but the reference to Sorrento is unmistakable. A wide variety of homemade pasta dishes are lovingly prepared. Try the house specialty, pasta a la Sorrentine, a large ravioli generously filled. The desserts are excellent. The maracuja mousse is incomparable.

L'Atelier Cafeteria offers simple, good food in a pleasant setting, lively day and night. Salads, wraps, crêpes and tapiocas are served generously indoors, on the terrace, on the beach or on the sidewalk. Cocktails are served in moderation, and can be enjoyed while watching the sunset. With ao vivo music on certain evenings, very competitive prices and a very attentive staff, it's easy to see why this is such a popular address.
