A simple but great restaurant of Brazilian food. There are just so many options to eat in Rio that it's hard to settle on where to go. During my stay I went to various places around the city, but I was very selective of my choices. I wanted Brazilian cuisine only.
I found the Brasileirinho restaurant at Ipanema on a typical sunny afternoon and went inside to look further. The food is very authentic and so is the restaurant itself, which serves the main Brazilian dish, the feijoada, with accompanying side dishes that go together very well. Fantastic place for lunch.
R. Jangadeiros 10, Ipanema
Amaderm is a estheticians' and dermatologists' centre in Rio. Despite the fact that Rio is the world capital of beauty, once I was there I never thought of having any aesthetic treatment. After all, vacations in a sunny paradise doesn't quite match with botox or peelings.
However, during my days in Rio I had a rash, so I needed professional advice, and to my surprise, AMADERM, the place I went in Ipanema, offered so many quick and efficient options of treatment, I couldn't believe. From diode laser for epilation from device for spider vein, you can find high quality services with a price you wont find back home. Definitely a must try for rainy days in Rio!
Rua Visconde de Pirajá 433 - 5th floor Ipanema
