Rio de Janeiro Restaurant Reviews

With more than 900 restaurants, Rio's dining choices are broad, from low-key Middle Eastern cafés to elegant contemporary eateries with award-winning kitchens and first-class service. The succulent offerings in the churrascarias (restaurants specializing in grilled meats) can be mesmerizing for meat lovers—especially the places that serve rodízio style (grilled meat on skewers is continuously brought to your table—until you can eat no more). Hotel restaurants often serve the national dish, feijoada (a hearty stew of black beans and pork), on Saturday—sometimes Friday, too. Wash it down with a chopp (the local draft beer; pronounced "shop") or a caipirinha (Brazilian rum, lime, and sugar).
