Concierge.com's insider take:
You can't beat the location: Set on a quiet corner opposite Rio's Jardim Botânico, Bar da Graça—grace, in its theological connotation—spills out onto a street shaded by tropical almond trees. The decor inside is faux-religious kitsch, ranging from airbrushed saints' portraits to Afro-Brazilian statues of the Virgin, all muddled together with an Aladdin's Cave of primary-colored knickknacks and oddball lighting effects. The menu, too, displays a similar fun-loving irreverence, creatively updating classic Bahian recipes, but unashamedly interweaving them with an eclectic mix of Italian, Arab, and Japanese dishes. The best plates are Brazilian, such as the tasty moquecas of lobster, the curried beef, and the lamb with plantain purée.
Open daily from 10 am.
