A great fish restaurant at the heart of Santa Teresa, just next to the tram stop. We had a lovely dorado in coconut milk sauce. Good fresh food at very reasonable prices. If you go for a night in the many atmospheric bars in this area, this is the place to eat.

We had a terrific night at this converted colonial mansion. It's littered with antiques, trinkets and other remnants of Rio past, and hosts samba, choro and various fusion bands. The music was great but the atmosphere was made by the mixed crowd - young and old, locals and tourists - all of whom manage to strut their stuff in the relaxed environment.

This bed and breakfast network is superb. You are set up in one of the colonial mansions in Santa Teresa, a picturesque bohemian barrio clinging onto the hillside. You reach its 19th-century grandeur by boneshaking tram that rattles through the narrow streets. We stayed in a huge villa - Casa Ana - with a spectacular breakfast in a walled garden. The place was so atmospheric; a real antidote to the flash of the Zona Sul and the poverty of the favelas. And with the relatively cheap taxis it's easy to get anywhere. Highly recommended.
