Food Scene

Great Brazilian SEAFOOD in the heart of Santa Teresa - highly recommended, also for non fish eaters, since they also serve chicken or meat. (closed on Mondays)

Great SUSHI and all kinds of natural or macrobiotic food. This small restaurant offers an interesting mix of japanese food, from sushi to macrobiotic and natural plates. In every meal a starter (usually a Miso or Vegetable soup) and a desert (usually a tropical fruit) are always included. It's an insider tip only locals know. Do not hesitate to go, even if the street leading to GOHAN doesn't seem to be the best area of Lapa, but it is safe to go, trust it.

Parks & Nature

Tijuca National Parque is simply the biggest urban protected rain forest in the World !! I recommend a Jeep Tour or tracking with a local guide, in order to get in closer touch with the nature, if compared to the Corcovado train or the shuttle vans who bring thousands of tourist up to the Christ statue every day.
