ZAZA BISTRÔ: (http://www.zazabistro.com.br)
At night, what about getting acquainted with one of the most celebrated restaurants in the city? Zazá Bistrô has a romantic atmosphere, but it’s also family friendly, besides being one of the best places to eat in Rio de Janeiro. The second floor has poufs, futons and low tables, and the menu has a section with conservative-free products that are, whenever possible, organic as well. Taste the Moroccan pastillas, the cashew and leaves salad, the fish with banana and curry and the seafood feijoada. For dessert, go for the fruit salad with lemongrass scent, ginger crisps and soursop sorbet. It is our favourite here.

Where: Rua Joana Angélica, 40 – Ipanema. | Phone: +55 21 2247-9101.

When: Monday to Friday, from 12 p.m. to midnight. Saturday and Sunday, from 1 p.m. to midnight.
