My recommended restaurants in Rio de Janeiro

Aprazível

I want to start this section with one of my favourite restaurants in Rio de Janeiro that is the romantic Aprazível, located at the top of Santa Teresa neighborhood. The speciality of Aprazível is the traditional brazilian cuisine but renewed and finely presented. You can enjoy starters like the famous 'Pão de Queijo', meat dishes like 'Picanha ao Sol' or 'Medalhão' and Seafood dishes like 'Peixe Tropical' or 'Bacalhau do Pai'. The selection of Brazilian wine is also extraordinary.

The restaurant offers several different atmospheres all of them with a rustic but elegant brazilian decoration. You can have dinner in the traditional covered restaurant; in a balcony with a romantic view of Rio de Janeiro; in a big patio where you can enjoy the dinner under the Moon and the stars; in a table on a tree for sharing laughs and experiences with a few friends or drink a traditional cachaça in the 'Cachaçaria'.

Porcão Rio's

I always go to Porcão Rio's when i fancy a good meat. It is my favourite 'Churrascaria' of Rio de Janeiro, and of course, is with the 'Rodizio Carioca' system. I now that there are several Porcão restaurants in Rio but no other compares to the Porcão Rio's located in Aterro do Flamengo. You can enjoy a starter with an extraordinary buffet and the main dish, of course, their wonderful meat. The waiters pass table to table offering different kind of meats sticked in a kind of 'sword' and cut them in front of you. The service is simply perfect.

The restaurant is divided in several big saloons, a bar when you can drink and have brazilian snacks and an external area besides the ocean. The view of the ocean and the Sugar Loaf is wonderful.
