Craving meat? Head to Malta Beef Club. Here, you can find some of the best quality cuts in Rio, with a wide array of sides too. A meat-lovers paradise!

Before heading to the Botanical Gardens, fuel up at the Empório Jardim - a chic deli with delicious home-baked goods and gourmet meals.

The oh-so-beautiful Botanical garden of Rio de Janeiro is a must visit while you are in town. With over 6500 species of plants and 140 hectares, you will never want to leave! 

This park and museum are one of the lesser known attractions, but it deserves all the hype. When you venture deeper into the forest, look out for the Lovers Grotto and monkeys.
