My favourite plates are: wraps to eat and frozen drinks (made with 100% fruit).]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19957 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19956
I loved it there, mainly because of the relaxed atmosphere. The place is very clean and cozy too.

The home-made Italian ice-cream is pretty good! I'm an Italian citizen and I totally approved it!

I also recommend to ask for the tasty sandwiches they have - Felice barbecue is my favourite!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19956 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19775 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19775 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19774 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19774 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19773 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19773 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19576 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19576 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18624
I heartily recommend this restaurant - one of the best in Rio (in Botofogo) but also one of the most laid-back and, having just looked on their website, it seems to be winning lots of foodie prizes.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18624 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18225 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18225 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17913 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17913 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17906 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17906 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17823
In the Casa de Feijoada, it's an everyday ritual (unlike other restaurants around where they only serve it on Saturdays and Sundays). It's basically a bean soup with pieces of meat, such as sausage, sundried beef and pork, seasoned to taste. Somehow I thought a bit of Tabasco sauce would bring it all together, but alas, not necessary as the dish itself has some zest to it.

Don't pass up on the opportunity to try this spectacular food while in Rio, or you might regret it!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17823 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17817
There’s plenty of restaurants, bars, store - great stuff. I really enjoyed the feijoada they had there, and we ate it at a restaurant called Brasileirinho. Pretty good food, polite staff and great desserts]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17817 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17794
It was quite far from where we stayed in, but it was worth it! Really good food!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17794 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17177
It's right at the Arpoador in Ipanema, so you'll be privileged with a breathtaking view while eating this amazing food!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17177 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17151 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17151 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16988
I didn't run into any other Mexican restaurants around Rio (and trust me, I looked), so I imagine this is the one to go to. You'd better skip breakfast if you plan on spending an afternoon here!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16988 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16987
I went in for a buffet and stuffed myself silly. In fact, so silly that I wasn't hungry for a good eight hours later or so. If you're into Japanese, this place is worth the trip.

The menu is totally diverse, with original options, and great ambience and decoration. The staff are all very nice, and the thing that amazed me the most, despite coming straight from the beach, with beachwear, flip flops and sand on my feet, they said there was no problem at all!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16987 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16957
I tried a lamb steak sandwich and that's all it took. For starters, pita bread with hummus and a hint of lime. Very good stuff indeed!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16957
