The best Brazilian restaurants Rio De Janeiro

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.

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?
