I don't remember the names of the restaurants, but there is one with a spectacular French and baiano cookery  ... among others that make delicious meals. It has the best cachaça drink of the galaxy and it costs R$3,50!!! The guys are always doing cookery "contest" and I think that they are among the cookeries of the world.  For who wants to eat very well and to rest, there is nothing better.
