FOOD

Leblond is an important “polo gastronomico” and the most famous restaurants are located there (QUADRUCCI - www.quadrucci.com.br ZUKA www.zuka.com.br CELEIRO www.celeiroculinaria.com.br) but there’s no way to be in Rio without hanging out with a very cold beer or chope (draft beer) and grab a bite (Brazilian home-style cooking) in one of these 5 stars Botequim.

ACADEMIA DA CACHACA

One of the first places in town to put cachaça where it belongs: the shelves are like a sanctuary lined with PINGAS (the alternative name of cachaça) from every source imaginable.

BRACARENSE

It's small and nondescript, but Bracarense has legendary status among Rio drinkers. That's probably because it gets just about everything right, from the zinc-topped bar and excellent service, to the cold beer, delicious salgadinhos (bar snacks) and generous measures in the caiprinhas

CHICO e ALAIDE 
A new hot spot (founded in 2009) with a festive crowd, sidewalk seating and tasty appetizers (the magazine Veja Rio declared it the best bar cuisine of Rio in 2010).

JOBI could be the perfect translation of the term “Carioca bar”. It’s got it all: chilly beer, tiled walls, a hodgepodge of people enither leaving the beach or heading out for the night, the same waiters as always and the festive atmosphere.
