Miles far away from the classic conception of
restaurant, Marius is the latest generation
of luxurious holiday destinations.

But, Rio de Janeiro offers an impressive
range of restaurants, for every taste,
pocket and style.
One of my favourite lunches is in the typical "Galletos" places that you can easily find
all over the city. The last one I visited is in Ipanema, precisely in Rua Visconde de
Pirajà. It's in a corner and in its simple façade a big menu is shown. Basically, you will
have half chicken well spit-roasted and a consistent side course at your choice.

The choice is various and colourful, where we can match the chicken with farofa, rice,
beans, salad and so on. My drink is of course Guaranà. The price is around eight reals
per person, which means around three euro for a portion I had hard time to finish. I
go very often to Brazil and its galletos are for sure on my to-do-list.

From luxurious restaurants to simple bistros, from genuine ‘lanchonetes’ to ‘coconut
stands’, all over the city the possibilities to get refreshed are countless and
everywhere the warmth of brazilian weather and people will make you feel at home.
