Rua Garcia D'Ávila, 135, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
$$$ ・ Mediterranean Cuisine
Occupying a house from the 1930s with a well-preserved façade in one of the most renowned parts of Ipanema. The decor here has been meticulously designed, from the unusual fabrics hanging from the ceiling to the Hebrew-inspired paintings on the walls. The cuisine is inspired by the coasts of the Mediterranean, and includes fish, seafood and fresh pasta with a Brazilian and international flavour. The extensive menu features options such as burrata di bufala with beetroot pesto and Grana Padano. Mains range from the vegan “moqueca” stew to the excellent fresh pasta served with shrimp and an oyster foam. The charming veranda is perfect for one of Nôa’s refreshing cocktails.
