Girl from Ipanema (Garota de Ipanema)

  • April 19, 2006
  • Rated 4 of 5 by driftingdeals from Rio de Janiero, Brazil
We just love this place. It's touristy, yes, but still popular with the locals. It's hard to get seated on football-game nights!

Their house specialty is the picanha, sliced steak delivered on a sizzling plate for you to cook at your table. It comes with fries, vegetable rice, farofa, and salsa. One order is more than enough between two or even three people. An extensive menu is available, although only one or two of the desserts are usually available. It's cheap and cheerful, with street entertainment just outside. Even if you only go once, it's where they penned the song "The Girl from Ipanema," so it's worth a visit.

Girl from Ipanema is the restaurant that the song was written in. Big deal. Tons of tourists, little local flavor. The local bars in the area are a lot more interesting.
