I did not know what to expect when I went to CBF with my family, and may I say I was quite impressed! We were told at the restaurant that their main specialty was Portuguese food, from Portugal (duh!) aside from some Spanish dishes, like paella, very good. But the best by far was their cod fish with baked potatoes, olives and shrimp, just heaven! My kids loved it too, but my husband and I enjoyed it the most. It also seemed to have some of that atmosphere based on the country where the food originates from, Portugal. Anyway, quite a family-friendly spot for an afternoon lunch.

It's a club for expat foreigners in the city. Great if you're in Athens for quite a while and you want some company to go bar-hopping or clubbing with.
Along Rio's beaches, there are little stalls where you can get your ice cold beer etc. Beto & Ana are a fantastic couple who will look after you and your things while you swim, walk or play football on the beach. They will introduce you to loads of good people and invite you to join in for a barbecue!
They are on Ipanema, just down from lifeguard tower number 9. Their tent has Beto & Ana written on it. Tell them Anders, Fernando's friend sent you!
