TRAVEL<br />
BRASEIRO DA GÁVEA £££<br />
If steak is your thing, check out this<br />
barbecue-style restaurant close to<br />
the Jardim Botanico. You should<br />
try the traditional farofa (toasted<br />
breadcrumbs with cassava) and<br />
Portuguese potatoes.<br />
Insider Tips<br />
CAFÉ DO ALTO £££<br />
Good for vegetarians and vegans,<br />
this traditional little café also does a<br />
fantastic moqueca de peixe (shrimp<br />
casserole) as well as chicken dishes<br />
and curries. There's a very good<br />
selection of local beers to try, too.<br />

RESTAURANTE APRAZÍVEL<br />
££££<br />
Featured in the Michelin Guide,<br />
Aprazível provides outdoor fine<br />
dining with fantastic views from a<br />
prime city high-point. Order the<br />
grilled fish or traditional roasted,<br />
rustic dishes and feast on the fresh,<br />
local ingredients of Brazil.<br />
GUAVA GOODNESS<br />
Try the local guava<br />
ketchup on your burger<br />
for a uniquely delicious<br />
experience. Similar to the<br />
tomato variety but with<br />
an extra tropical zing,<br />
this fruity condiment will<br />
leave you wanting more.<br />
IN THE SADDLE<br />
Use the bike hire scheme<br />
for a cheap, fun way to<br />
get around, especially<br />
along the coast. Rio has<br />
435 kilometres of bike<br />
lanes and most urbanised<br />
areas are flat, despite the<br />
surrounding mountains.<br />
BRAZILIAN BEATS<br />
For a taste of the local<br />
food, art and music all<br />
under one roof, visit the<br />
Feira de São Cristóvão.<br />
With 600 stalls, the fair<br />
is enormous. Go at the<br />
weekend to catch live<br />
bands and samba groups.<br />
