 Designer
| We call it designer because apart from being super tasty the plates look like works of modern art. The award-winning Ludmilla, the head-chef at Zuka, has some of the most creative presentations for her international mix restaurant, serving everything from Brazilian classics to Thai satays to French nouveau. Bring a camera as you will want to photograph, print in large format and frame these true works of art. |

 Brazilian Comfort
| Travel back to the 70s, when furniture was funky and food was simpler. Now take those simpler recipes and fuse them with 21st century twists. That´s right, chef created Brazilian comfort food. While you wait for seating, try any of their drinks. Work your way down the drink menu. As soon as you seat, instead of ordering entrees, ask for one of each from the appetizer menu, so you can have a real gastronomic odyssey. By the end you´ll understand why Roberta Ciasca won best new chef by Veja Rio Magazine and Gula Magazine, the highest local titles. |

 Romantic
| Zazá Bistro, a cute little corner house decorated to South Asian chic is an ideal for couples as well as for groups of friends. The downstairs has a little balcony and interior with tables, while the upstairs is pillows and rugs surrounding Moroccan tables where you can take off your shoes. The menu is light and balanced, pursuing combinations between flavorful spices such as ginger, lemon grass and curry with healthy, non-fried organic foods. The ambient music deserves a mention, as well as the traditional and exotic drinks from the experienced bartenders. |

 Contemporary
| Zero Zero is the author’s favorite restaurant+club in Rio: you can have a delicious dinner inside or outside, then sit in the outdoor terrace under the stars, digest with a cigar, then head over to their tiny dance floor (the best type) and party when the DJ warms up. Everything on their menu is finessed. There newly opened sushi-bar is very popular amongst Rio`s mature clubbers.
