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!

The neighborhood of Urca is a bit off the tourist trail, but rich in history. It feels like a quintessential South American town. It event boasts the oldest street in Rio and was where Carmen Miranda was first scouted for American Pictures.

If you are in Centro visiting the old buildings or the Municipal Theater this is definitely a must. They serve amazing tea time menus. You can also go there for lunch, they have good sandwiches. It is not the cheapest place to eat but it is worth the visit.

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.

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).

The restaurant has a great atmosphere, it is really informal and you are expected to share your table with other people when there are no seats left. The food is healthy and always very fresh. There are vegetarian options but also meat and chicken. You can choose up to three salads and as many hot plates as you want.

Even if you've booked a Hotel with Breakfast included (the majority) or a B&B, it's worthy trying eating it here. Pick up an outside table and enjoy the baked goods while you watch the crowd at Leblon. It's definitely a place to see and to be seen.

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.

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.

See the sunset in Bar Urca is one of the things locals like most. They can brag about the beauty of the view while drinking beers and eating traditional bar foods. There is no better option after a day in the beach than going to Bar Urca for that experience. You can also go to the second floor to the restaurant without missing the outstanding view.

It's a very traditional restaurant with an old fashioned atmosphere and great food. Try the "ponta de picanha" with brocoli rice, "farofa" and stuffed fries. Forget the "churrascarias rodízio" and go to this "a la carte" one.

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.

The daily meal is great. Service is kind and fast. Eating one of those salads in a summer day tastes like heaven. Try the combo salad, you can choose between 3 or 4 kinds. The selection of deserts - like the lemon pie - should finish your meal off nicely.

It's a typical carioca bakery. You don't see many tourists around. It's very common to see locals stoping by to buy some fresh bread. If you wanna enjoy a typical breakfast or a typical coffee break in the middle of the day, here is a good place.
