Visit this eclectic and bohemian neighborhood of Santa Teresa (home of some great restaurants). There is a good restaurant called Mineiro. They have an amazing Feijoada (black beans stew with pork meat). Many of the bars around are full of locals, and have the best Caipirinhas you will find in Rio.
Our favorite meal is breakfast, and you will find a lot of places where you can ask for an expresso, fruits and a french toast with butter.
Another good local option is the restaurant Braseiro da Gavea, at Baixo Gavea neighborhood. They simply have the best Picanha cut you can find in Rio, full of locals and not expensive at all for the great food you will enjoy!

Ok, you certainly didn't come to Rio to find a memorable burger. And the place is full of hipsters who are around 25 years old. But who cares? They serve 3 or 4 kinds of burgers, the famous one is the Pala burger: meat seasoned with dark beer plus cheese and home-made sauce. And from the new menu try the X-Wilson, a tribute to the security guy.

Flavors include a vast selection of tropical fruit delights, many of which contain pieces of real fruit. It's the typical Brazilian ice cream, it has nothing to do with the italian one. Do like the locals and order a "picolé" (popsicle).

Best sandwiches in Town, really. They are big and they are so so good. Very local and almost historical place. It stays open until very late, making it perfect for an after party stop. Or just go there after a long day at the beach, you can't get any more carioca then that.

If locals love it, so should you! If you want to try a typical Brazilian food, go and ask for the picanha braseiro, with brocolis rice, fries and farofa. There you can have also a nice chopp (draft beer) surrounded by great atmosphere, packed with young people.

Good prices, nices tastes, fresh and honest food. The esfihas are usually ordered individually – meat, vegetables, chicken and cheese are the flavours – but are normally offered in pairs. No one knows why this happens but if you manage to avoid the tremendous temptation that’s eating just one, you won’t be charged for the second esfirra.

It's a sweet spot for a relaxing breakfast. The owners are from Goiás so it's a kind of regional meal with simple and tasty food such as the cheese bread and the drip coffee. They also serve lunch and soups in the evening.
