The Top 10 Restaurants In Barra Da Tijuca, Rio De Janeiro
Barra da Tijuca in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil has grown in popularity with people drawn to its long, open beaches, surfing hot spots and many shopping malls and stores. For those staying in Barra, here are the best restaurants.
1. Outback Steakhouse
Outback Steakhouse
Australian-style Outback is one of Rio’s favorite restaurants. The service is outstanding, and the food is what you would expect from a steakhouse: burgers, steaks, fries, chicken wings, and other such nibbles. The dining experience begins with a free loaf of delicious honey bread to warm up the appetite. The most popular dishes are the Blooming Onion (think onion rings but on a full-scale onion), Aussie fries, and ribs. Arrive early as long waiting times to get in are common.

2. Paris 6
Bar, Restaurant, Bistro, French, Brazilian, Vegetarian
This bistro provides a charming setting of 1920s-themed French decoration and music that take diners back in time. The menu is extensive. The most famous dish on this menu is the Grand Gateau. This monster dessert consists of a hot chocolate pudding with a chocolate ice cream wedged inside covered in chocolate cream, hazelnut sauce, and strawberries. Not one for the waistline but certainly a treat for the eyes and the tastebuds.

For those looking for a big feast, head to Rio Brasa. It offers a buffet of Middle Eastern, Jewish, and Japanese food as well as a barbecue with 40 different cuts of meats available. Diners arriving with an empty stomach are sure to pile their plates high for every item on the buffet looks just as good as it tastes. The price is reasonable for what you get. Visitors pay a fixed fee and can eat as much as they want. It’s good not to have anything too strenuous planned post-dinner; it’s a place to eat a lot and relax after.

10. T.T. Burger
T.T. Burger
This Brazilian hamburger chain has grown immensely in popularity since its opening in 2013 for its meaty, mouthwatering burgers made with fresh ingredients. The beauty about this hamburger chain is the overwhelming simplicity of it. There are only two options on the menu, a meat option and a vegetarian option. The bread is made from sweet potatoes, and the burger is accompanied by a wonderfully fruity barbecue sauce with goiaba, a Brazilian fruit.
