Even if this Gula-Gula (traditional "Carioca" restaurant) is on the basement of Rio Design shopping center, it's great for a light meal, salads, quiches as well as heartier options and delicious desserts! It's very near the flat too, which can be handy!

I love this restaurant, for its food, service and location... It's in Urca, this charming neighbourhood of Rio. After lunch it's nice to take some time to go for a walk in the area and see the beautiful views. There is a sweet church nearby (Paróquia de Nossa Senhora do Brasil) that I also love to visit when "sightseeing" the area.
P.S. It's not far from Pão de Açúcar, but it's worth getting a taxi.
P.S. 2 As the restaurant is small, I would recommend calling to check availability and make a reservation.

If you are an ice-cream lover, I really recommend you to try this ice-cream place in Shopping Leblon. All the flavours are amazing... My problem is always choosing, although I always start my mix with the pistachio one!!! (you can ask for tastings to try to solve this problem!!)

Very tasty Portuguese food, "served by the kilo" (i.e. buffet is ready to serve, you pay for what you pu in your plate). Located on the basement floor of Shopping Rio Design Leblon, this is a great option for lunch, if you love "bacalhau" (cod fish) and other specialties of this cuisine.

If you are in Ipanema, try this new place near "General Osório Square". The food is super fresh and tasty; their specialty are "sushi-burrito" rolls, salads, ceviche, yakisoba... I love the salmon and tuna roll, or "carne de panela" - but all of them are amazing!! (They also do takeaways and deliveries in Leblon)
