Rio de Janeiro is a beautiful city with several attractions. Every year the city welcomes diverse kinds of travelers. Visitors to Rio de Janeiro can enjoy its gastronomy that boasts of a vast array of restaurants, serving Brazilian regional cuisine, international and fusion fare. Ipanema and Leblon boast the best dining options, though every bairro (district) has its gems.

Dining or eating out in Rio is a nice experience as numerous restaurants are there to suit every taste and budget with options for every size of group from two to many hundreds. Expect the best as eating out is a major attraction with the Cariocas themselves, be it that you choose top quality French cuisine, or something more traditionally Brazilian, such as barbecue or a filling feijoada.

Felice Caffe is a recommended place for lunch or dinner. The food is not only tasty but affordable as well, thus giving you value for your money. However, if you long for coziness and comfort of home, then Miam Miam is the place to be.
