Very best Tapas Bar in Rio - just 2 Metro stations from the flat.
Don't even think of leaving the city without paying it a visit.
Shared tables, no menu. You look, you like, you point, you eat.

Great place for people watching and to eat the most traditional cut of beef in Brazil: Picanha.
Order a Picanha ao Braseiro (with broccoli rice, fries and "farofa") and, unless you're extremely hungry, it will feed 3. Maybe 4.
Crowded for after beach lunch on weekends. Thursday nights are also fairly popular.

Drinks & Nightlife
Zig Zag
10 R. Prudente de MoraisTo have a cold beer and watch football.
It is all about the music. This tiny bar has no menu and is so little that only fits one table - reserved to the musicians. Guests do stand at the streets and grab their own beer from the fridge - no waiter or bar attender. To respect neighbours, no clapping hands at the end of songs, but snapping fingers. Doesn't sound appealing? Some of the BEST samba and choro musicians will Brazil play there. For free.

Fell like having a good beer (instead of Brahma, Skol, Antartica and all the comercial local brands)? Brewteco is a great place. They also offer crazy cheap (for Leblon standards) lunches. Simple local fare, but tasty.
