One of the oldest bars in Leblon, and still frequented by the original old men- along with a slightly younger crowd at evenings and weekends. Gets very busy.

Brigite's
Whitewashed brick walls and a good vibe. One of my favourites for dinner.
Excellent food and English speaking waiters. Need to arrive on time if you make a reservation or they will give your table away! Next to Brigites.

Sightseeing
Best beach in Rio (not that I am biassed!) Find your preferred spot and one of the guys from the barracas (beach stands) will offer you chairs, umbrella and cold drinks. Check price first & pay later
