Looking for something hip? Somewhere with a tightly edited menu and carefully crafted dishes? Trégua Cozinha is a cute counter spot in Laranjeiras run by Lasai alums that simply should not be missed.

Perched high on a hilltop terrace is Aprazível, drink cachaças and eat delectable Brazilian food in this family-run restaurant. The lush tropical garden and beautiful views of Rio add to the ambiance, making it well worth the visit. Also note their effort to be sustainable. They use only organic produce, collect rain water and upcycle cooking oil into biodegradable soap - a win for the environment!
