Guidebook for Rio de Janeiro
Essentials
The closest of the well stocked Zona Sul chains outlets (which are everywhere in Ipa/Copa). Don't imagine groceries are cheaper here - it depends what you buy. Anything imported is much pricier.

Supermarket with a great little salad bar at the back for takeout or eat in (bar tables). Also fruit salad, juices, pastries. Love the 'pão de queijo' (in the bread section) when warm and fresh.

Excellent quality "kilo" restaurant - where you pay for food by weight Very common in Brazil, & something NY seems to have picked up on! A bit pricier than some of the others.
