Trendy hotel bar and restaurant
This trendy bar and restaurant on the second floor of the Marina all suites hotel would make Ian and Phillip proud. It is very trendy with high priced drinks by Rio standards(9 for a caprinha that even in the beach cafes cost only 5 to 6). The food is not brazilian and has a menu not too different than the encounter bar at LAX which I would recommend over this one as it is a much nicer spot even if it trendy quotient has decreased with time. The service was nothing to shout about in a country where even a small streetside cafe will have attentive service. The hostess was attractive and bar/resturant was nicely designed with a modern marine theme but skip the place and head to a bar in lapa, Academia cachaca, sindicato de chopp or any beachside cafe. None, saw the menu and just had a drink and left.
