Food Tour of Rio!

Atila and Lais arrived today to spend a few days with us in Ipanema Beach in Rio! They gave us a proper introduction to many of Brazil's typical foods. We tasted many things we would never have ventured to eat on our own. Thankfully Atila and Lais showed us the way! We would have missed out on some great Brazilian traditions.


Coconut Water


Globos....only found in Rio


Sucos bar.....eggplant juice anyone?


frozen yogurt with fresh tropical fruit


Caipirinhas

Some of our favorites not pictured but worth a mention are: grilled cheese roasted in a portable tin stove on the beach, mate lemonade ice cold from tin containers on the beach, Pao de Quejo, brigadeiros, acerola, acai with granola and fruit (my favorite, or maybe the caipirinha is my favorite), ice cream that rivals Buenos Aires', brazillions of exotic fruits, farofa, black bean soup, feijao.........
