Guidebook for Rio de Janeiro
Food Scene
This is our favorite Café in Rio. Really a must taste. We usually avoid tables too close to the street on busier days (we feel a bit uncomfortable having so many people walk by while we are seating).

Le Dépanneur Delicatessen
86 R. Voluntários da PátriaThis is our favorite Café in Rio. Really a must taste. We usually avoid tables too close to the street on busier days (we feel a bit uncomfortable having so many people walk by while we are seating).
One side of the restaurant has all you can eat pizza.
The other side has a great variety (even has Japanese food).
You can also see them prepare your "Caipirinha" right in front of you (they use a little cart with the bottles and fruits).
Pretty nice place (at a fair price).

Again, another "Rio's must see". The view from the Sugar Loaf is absolutely gorgeous! While you are at it try going for a walk on the "Pista Claudio Coutinho" walk way.
