My
favourite restaurants are the buffets,
you pick your foods from its extensive
array of salads, sushi, soups,
vegetables, various meat dishes, pastas,
soufflés. The one that have the most
varieties to choose from is Kilograma.
You pick your foods and come to a
counter and weigh your dish. For the
drink you order from your waiter or
waitress. You can also order just a
bottle of mineral water and if you
prefer without ice tell your waitress
without ice or 'sin gas' without being
carbonated (sparkling).
 At
Kilograma they come to your table with
sizzling assortments of churrascurias/charcoal
broiled rodizio style meats, just ask
them to cut for you the one you prefer.
The dessert menu is extra but has
extensive variety. Meals in Rio are not
expensive and are very good. You pay
your meals at the counter and give the
tab of your paid bill to the girl who
gave you the empty order note when you
enter the restaurant. Before my trip I
was worried about what to eat in Rio
because I have a very sensitive stomach,
I even had prescriptions from my family
doctor for anti-diarretic situations
etc... but my big surprise was that I
did not get any trouble at all for my
entire trip. I started to taste
everything from day one because the food
are so tasty. This is contrary to what
I will do in Montreal at home when I
stay away from a lot of meals following
the strict regimen my doctor gave me. I
made an exception for 2 weeks and I'll
see what the results are gonna be later
back home. Whatever, I had a blast
enjoying the foods and the aroma of the
steaks.

There are a lot of juice
bars in Rio de Janeiro. It
seem that Rio's guys and
girls like it very much.

Every morning I came to different
places like this for a croissant and
cappuccino. Some place you just stand-up
at the counter and have your breakfast. |

At this food court in one
shopping center in Botafogo instead of choosing
to seat inside the restaurant I chose to
seat in front of it. I accidentally
dropped my money bundle on the floor and
the girl who stand at the front of the
restaurant to check in and out customers
saw it. She came and picked it and
handed it to me. Like in everywhere
there are always good people so don't be
confused with negative publicity on Rio.
Indeed to acknowledge the girl's honesty
I split her a part of my bundle
unhesitatingly. |
