Alba Mar

Alba Mar Review

Opened in 1933, Alba Mar is not hard to spot—it's housed in a distinctive circular green building facing Guanabara Bay. While the building's 360-degree views are a draw in themselves, the real reason people come is for the outstanding seafood. The chef works magic with the daily specials, and the haddock soufflé is fluffy, creamy culinary nirvana. If you're just looking to nibble, check out the classic codfish balls, sit back, and take in the spectacular view across the bay. Most main dishes are enough for two people.

    A charming old building right on the waters edge overlooking (looks like it is closed when you first approach) a combination of the local domestic airport (watch flights landing and taking off) boats coming and going and a wonderful view of Rio. This is a clean charming old place where not much english is spoken although they do have an English menu. We went in the middle of the day and had a great time, we then walked to Confeitaria Colombo (with some directions from the waiting staff). Safe during the day as very busy from the offices in the central.
