Miam Miam

Posted by titoferrato 6 October 2008

Amazing restaurant, with great food, delicious drinks and unique decoration. It looks like an antique shop and they can also sell the furniture if you like. My girlfriend and I loved it - highly recommended.

Marlin Yatch

Posted by sophieap 3 October 2008

Rio de Janeiro is one of the most incredible cities in the world and it is also a perfect place to go fishing. My husband loves fish and we decide to rent a boat when we were on holidays in Rio. It was an unbelievable day. He was fishing while I had a great sunbath at the boat. Lovely tour, trustworthy company, perfect. Highly recommended!

Lapa 40 graus

Posted by nunoferr 3 October 2008

Lapa is a great place to hang out, to have a beer at the famous "botecos" and also for clubbing.
There are lots of snooker tables, a dancefloor and it is full of interesting Brazilian people!

Cachaca Magnifica

Posted by lisacarter 2 October 2008

I told my friends that I was going to Rio de Janeiro. All of them told me: “Don´t forget to buy havaianas, try the famous Brazilian cachaca and dance samba!”. After buying havaianas in as many colours as I could (best store: Ousadia shop, in Ipanema),
I finally went to try the famous cachaca! We found a bar and I tried a caipirinha made with Magnifica. It's such a good drink! I had four or five caipirinhas and my boyfriend liked them so much that when we were in Brazil we only drank those. After 5 caipirinhas it became easy to follow the third recommendation: dance samba!
