Pingado is a cosy little café in one of the central streets of Paraty's old town. The decor is both simple and sophisticated, with terracotta tilesblending harmoniously with the wood decor of this stall. The Pingado café offers excellent local coffees, including a highly original one with cachaça, whipped cream and ginger jelly. While the coffee menu highlights the richness of this region of Brazil, the sandwich menu is equally interesting.

La casa coupê is located right in the historic center. Whether you're looking for a snack on an active day of sightseeing in the beautiful city of Paraty, a more substantial meal in the evening or a drink, the charm is there every time. A few tables outside, others inside, for a pleasant moment.

Good cocktails.

In the pleasant Carmo district, in the heart of Salvador's historic center, artist Paulo Vaz has opened his studio as a meeting place for his friends.

The menu offers light dishes: salads, sandwiches, quiches, pasta, soups... and plenty of coffees, teas and homemade juices. Friendly cats sleep on the chairs. A good sign!

Casa de Pedra is an almost perfect address in Jeri. It is a "sorvetaria" (ice cream shop) but the options offered are in fact numerous and all worth a visit. In addition to delicious homemade ice creams, the house offers small dishes, tapiocas and sandwiches, always at low prices.

The Mercado Municipal or Mercadao has been mentioned as one of the places you must see in São Paulo.

The bars/restaurants are located upstairs and everywhere the fillings are always generous!

We enter the world of pastry. For 45 years, the colher de pau has excelled in homemade sweets, including the famous brigadeiro (chocolate and condensed milk) and the excellent rocambole de chocolate, which can be foundas a specialty in Tiradentes.

If you want to eat a quick and very good thing in the center of Ipanema, after the beach or during your shopping, take a break at Mustafá. It is simple, but the service is good. Only three tables on the terrace. Tabbouleh salad, stuffed grape leaves with rice, pumpkins, aubergines and stuffed peppers, rice with lentils. Fried kibes, spinach or cheese have left us a good memory. If you still have a little hunger, there are chocolate pies, coconuts, or orange rocamboles.

Some places allow you to discover the sociology and daily life of the people who pass through them. Traditional places, by definition, are lessons in history, tradition and/or modernity. The Beco das Sardinhas has been a traditional place in Rio since the 1960s, located in a small pedestrian section of Miguel Couto Street. Several small establishments share their terraces and serve excellent grilled sardines (as in Sète or Casablanca) known as frangos marítimos. To be enjoyed with a good draught beer!

The first attempt to urbanize the square dates back to 1801, under Intendant Arthur Índio do Brasil. He paved the avenues, tarred the sidewalks, installed fountains and benches, and laid out the alleys.

Marietta's light sandwiches - known as "natural" - are the most traditional in Brasília. The house was inaugurated in 1982 and today has several branches in the city, proof of its success. The secret is the good ingredients and the original mixtures that fill the three slices of bread cut in a triangle. The ricotta rosette is a classic. Other more elaborate options in the ciabatta bread. You should also take one of the delicious fresh fruit juices. The apple, pineapple, lime and beetroot works very well!
