Dining in Rio de Janeiro
By Angela Corrias

































As soon as you reach the longed spot after a battle in Rio’s traffic, you’ll find yourself facing the first
hard choice of your adventure: fish or meat? In fact, apparently for the endless variety in the menu,
there are two versions of the same restaurant, one beside the other.

In a typical Brazilian style, your journey will start with a never-ending buffet with all sort of
appetizers, starters and dishes.














While you are enjoying the best “Farofa” you have ever had, charming waiters will succeed each
other with traditional and brand new choice of spit-roasted churrasco in the “meat-version” of the
restaurant.  If, instead, you’ve chosen fish, after tackling a swordfish-based ‘muqueca’ and a
‘catupiri’ with small, delicious prawns.

I feel compelled to mention the toilets: they definitely are worth a visit. Ground and sinks filled with
mock-precious stones, characteristic fish-shaped taps and heady incense perfume.

I have been to Rio de Janeiro maybe five times
and what amazes me the most, after the
greatest opportunity to meet people from all
walks of life, is the great choice of restaurants
and different kinds of food.

My last visit to one of the most spectacular cities
in the world was last July and exactly like every
time, I spent my way back to Europe thinking
that, sooner or later, I will go to live there.
With deep trust on indigenous, I started asking everybody where I could find a good
place to eat and every time the answer was a prompt: at Marius of course!  Curious by
such enthusiasm I decided to give the so-called top restaurant of the city a try.
Beautifully set in front of Leme Beach,
adjoining to the worldwide famous
Copacabana, it’s by no means the run-
of-the-mill example of a five-star
restaurant.
