Rio de Janeiro is a fantastic global city full of sights to see and things to do. Its gastronomic scene is one of its main attractions, as this Brazilian megalopolis is the home of a mix of both world-class restaurants and enticing street food. One of the best restaurants that you absolutely must visit while in Rio is the Plage Cafe, one of the world’s most unique places to eat brunch.
Located inside the Parque Lage at the foot of the Corcovado mountain in the city’s Jardim Botanico neighborhood, this is one of the only places you’ll be able to eat brunch inside of a glorious mansion.
This restaurant is located inside the former residence of an early 20th century Brazilian architect and his singer wife and features a gorgeous atrium containing a small pond, which is where diners eat at the Plage Cafe.
The Plage Cafe is mostly known for its excellent brunch, although it does feature some lunch plates as well. Eggs benedict, fresh Brazilian fruit juices, and house specialties such as their own specialty omelettes and hamburgers are some of the other highlights that can be found here.
Anyone who is looking for a stunning and unique brunch or lunch experience should add the Plage Cafe to their list of places to eat in Rio. Happy eating!
