The best sandwiches in Rio since 1959. Cervantes is great for fast bites that don't hurt your wallet. They even have fresh beer on tap ("chope") and other drinks. It is a must if you want to experience the colorful lifestyle of locals. At night the place tends to get loud, so come early and leave before the dusk.

One of my favorite places in Rio! Incredible selection of cachaças (Sug, Nega Fulô, Velho Bento, Salinas, Seleta, Germana, Magnifica, Boazinha) and don't forget to eat either some bits (bolinha de queijo, bolinha de carne, bolinho de mandioca com queijo, caldinho de feijão incrementado) or a main dish (feijoada). All is amazing!

A chain of bars, Belmonte in Leblon and Jardim Botânico are the best of the bunch. Great food (nibble or have a full meal), proper "chopes" (beer on tap) and caipirinhas. The Leblon one can get quite crowded in the evenings (especially weekends). Must eat: Empada and Picadinho

The Braseiro serves a fantastic picanha (top sirloin), as well as a variety os side dishes, starters and desserts. It goes without saying, the drinks here are good too. Good food, great service. The "Baixo Gávea" area, where this restaurant is located, is also a party hang-out area, especially crowded on Monday nights.

One of Rio's most picturesque bars, on the banks of Guanabara Bay near a charming fisherman's community. Must ask for a cold beer and "bolinho de bacalhau" (cod fish balls) and prawn pastries to eat by the pavement outside with the stunning view.

Open-air market offering everything you can imagine and usually for a very cheap price. Be aware that is going to be crowded and possibly hot. Don't go with opened bags (without zipper) nor with your backpack in your back. As it is crowded it is really easy for pickpockets.
