Rio De Janeiro

Top Restaurants

Oteque • Tasting menu / A phenomenal restaurant for so many reasons. Great service, food, presentation & atmosphere.
Chez Claude & Mesa do Lado (Side Table) • French / Modern bistro from TV star Claude Troisgros. An energetic & fun place to eat. They have a restaurant speakeasy in the back called Mesa do Lado (Side Table)—you walk through the kitchen to enter.
Adega Perola • Brazilian / A hole in the wall diner spot. The food is behind a counter, and you point at the dishes—both food and drinks are served quickly.

Liz Cocktail & Co • Cocktail bar / Great cocktail spot with a menu that categorized their cocktails by country (using the local spirit in the drink).
Nosso • Bar / Rooftop is lively & has great views. Order the Ratatouille martini!
Boteco Belmonte • Bar / Off of Ipanema Beach. We watched a Brazil football game here and drank their local beer (Brahma).
