Restaurants cuisine du monde Rio De Janeiro

In the lively Centro district during the day, Cais do Oriente seems to merge the industrial architecture of the past with that of modern establishments. Housed in a superb ^19th-century building, the restaurant boasts a magnificent indoor terrace where you can enjoy a leisurely stroll. Here, you can enjoy modern Brazilian cuisine of the highest quality, blended with oriental, Mediterranean and Asian influences. The bar is always busy during Friday and Saturday night concerts. A must for Carioca gastronomy, right in the heart of the city's cultural square.

Part bar, part restaurant, this little establishment with its white-tiled walls has a charm that appeals to tourists and locals alike. People come here for the daily special at lunchtime, as well as for the black bean, kale and dried meat fritters, or the more traditional tomato, cheese and herb fritters, which you can nibble on with friends. Excellent and very hearty feijoada too. It's also one of the best caipi in Rio, according to our friend Fred. It doesn't take long to get into the soul of Santa Teresa, chatting with your neighbor. An institution with a local soul.

One of the most popular restaurants in Rio for over forty years. The favorite place of the Cariocas, especially on Sunday noon, a time when it is sometimes difficult to find a place. The menu, made up of different breads, with sausage, pâté and raw vegetables, is a festival before the meal. The most popular dish is the medallion à la piémontaise, and, like all the other dishes, it is more than enough for two people. A very good choice of salads, including the chef's salad, which you choose yourself by assembling eight different ingredients.

for its cuisine with Cariocas, German and Japanese influences. Very beautiful Art Deco architecture. Won your, grilled squid, shitake, nira… Japanese flavours are served with a subtle Brazilian touch. Desserts are not forgotten from the place. One of the refined squares of beautiful Ipanema.

Julieta Restaurante is located in a beautiful French neoclassical style house dedicated to arts and culture, located on the beach in Flamengo. The Golden Room offers an extraordinary tea that can easily be substituted for a meal. For lunch or dinner, the Julieta restaurant offers a top-notch menu. The décor is as incredible as the plate, with white tablecloths and candelabras on the tables and floor-to-ceiling gilding. At lunchtime, Julieta restaurant offers a starter-main course or main course-dessert menu for R$ 80.

Another small address that Santa Teresa has the secret. On this side of Santa Teresa, it might seem difficult to find a good restaurant. On the Largo das Neves, so nice and pleasant, the Goya Beira is the best address to taste some popular Brazilian dishes without pretention, but also to drink beers on the terrace, while enjoying the animations of this small square of district. This establishment is one of the simple and authentic places that you like to meet the guests and the people who work.

The Café do Alto is located in the heart of Santa Teresa. This beautiful establishment blends very well with the bohemian atmosphere of the neighborhood where musicians frequently perform. We recommend the Nordestin breakfast. The establishment offers homemade beers that can be tasted on draught or bottled. The Alto favours local productions. On the menu are specialties from the Brazilian Northeast, salads, vegetarian dishes... without forgetting the inevitable caipirinha. A place where it is good to stroll.

"Chez Claude" is one of the latest restaurants to be opened by Claude Troisgros, the French chef in vogue in the Carioca capital, already responsible for the Olympe, CT Boucherie, CT Brasserie and Leblon establishments. You can dine almost in the kitchen, and watch him at work behind the stove. This is haute gastronomy from the kitchen of the chef from Roanne! For discerning palates and gourmets. You can eat in the restaurant or try the "Mesa do lado", a gastronomic adventure. Quality at the price of quality.

In the Cinelandia neighborhood, this brewery, founded in 1921, is a historical place in the neighborhood and a place of resistance...that almost disappeared. The interior is very simple and very carioca. Busy employees and tourists mingle in a very local atmosphere. The large terrace of the "little yellow one", on the Praça Floriano, is particularly pleasant to stroll in the evening, with a mug in the hand. The waiters are busy serving the many customers. On the menu, traditional dishes: feijoada, picanhas, churrascos... A classic.

Another little place to discover in the charming district of Santa Teresa. This canteen doesn't look like much, but it offers excellent (and copious!) dishes of various meats, churrasco of course, picanhas, ribeye, chops... the choice is vast. Everything is often accompanied by chips, rice and black beans (feijão). A good option for a typical weekday lunch. Ah yes, you will have understood, we are here in gaucha land, far from the new cuisine. One dish can easily satisfy two people, so let's hear it...

Rio has begun to regain its centre. Some of the once malfamous districts are dressing up in their finest finery and offering visitors that little bit of extra soul that internationalized areas no longer always provide. The botequim do Joia is one of these places steeped in history. This small bar on the outskirts of the Saúde district is a listed establishment that opened its doors in 1909. Also known as Bar do Jóia, it is famous for its iced beer, dry meat dishes and Friday feijoada. A place to discover.

We're still in Rio, but you'd think we were near the metropolis... or somewhere in Italy, because the food is so tasty. The chef is a true Transalpine. The Casa Due restaurant offers dishes from Lazio, southern Italy and seafood. The setting is superb and the dishes are certainly worthy of the place. The pasta is excellent, the atmosphere friendly and the setting simple and bucolic. The checkered tablecloths give the place a kitschy family feel... and that's what we like! A must-try!

This Lebanese restaurant in the port district is a good address for all lovers of oriental cuisine. The French-speaking owner has succeeded in maintaining the traditional aspect of this restaurant, which offers the full range of Lebanese and Oriental dishes, as well as Arabic cuisine in general. He has happily carried on the family tradition, his father having opened his first restaurant in Lapa in 1967. Moufid Hassan perpetuates the tradition of designing an interesting cuisine featuring combination dishes for one or two people (kibés, falafels, taboulés...).

The Jobi bar has been a very popular address in the Cariocas since 1956... Its red and green front and the red and white checkered tablecloths are part of the "landscape" of the traditional botequins of Rio. The Jobi is the link between the Rio of yesterday and today. The bohemian spirit lives on in a friendly atmosphere. The wait is sometimes a little long, but the cod croquettes and seafood soup are worth the trip. People also come here for the iced beer, the best in Rio for some "fans".

Opposite the São Bento monastery, which gave it its name(mosteiro means monastery in Portuguese), this Portuguese-inspired restaurant, run by José Temporao, has been offering excellent fish dishes (including the delicious Mosteiro cod) or shellfish (octopus in saffron rice) for almost half a century. There are of course the famous Portuguese pasteis. The quality of the cuisine and service is rightly recognised by many food critics and even more guests.

A casual Resto-pizzeria attended mainly by a gay clientele. You can enjoy a beer or a caipirinha while admiring the beach. 

Good Japanese cuisine is offered in this small restaurant. Lovers of Japanese cuisine will have the opportunity to eat by the kilo here. There is a great variety of yakisoba, teppanyaki, temaki, also proposed in the original form of rodizio, where the waiters pass by constantly presenting dishes. Gourmets of Japanese cuisine will find here interesting products for a good quality/price ratio. It is also possible to get delivery in the entire southern area (up to 73 pieces for combination dishes!).

The Pérgula is one of the three restaurants located in the wonderful Belmond Copacabana Palace. The majesty of the place and the quality of the food will perhaps justify that you break your piggy bank to be able to enjoy a breakfast or a lunch buffet in this mythical place. If there is an undeniable Italian touch, the cuisine can be described as international. From the "copperto", the tone is set: chestnut bread, cassava chips, artichoke pickle... Meat, fish, vegetarian dishes. Everything is delicate. At the weekend, it's feijoada and brunch!

Originally from São Paulo, the other pizza capital of the world, Pizzaria Bráz is one of the best in Rio. In this traditional setting in the Jardim Botânico district, the great Italian classics are the basis of the menu, but many variations are offered, from the classic award-winning caprese to the basic Neapolitan... or theimigrante. The wine list allows to highlight the flavours of the place. For dessert, the traditional panettone and tiramisus will satisfy the specialists.

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. 

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!

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.

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.
