Aprazível

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Perched high on a hilltop terrace with a thatched roof in bohemian Santa Teresa, Aprazível looks out over the city with some of the most spectacular views of Rio de Janeiro. While it’s worth a visit for the view alone, the food, drink and vibe here are also among the best in Rio, with chef-owner Ana Castilho serving hearty chicken galinhada stews as well as refined dishes such as grilled octopus. Drinks-wise, the focus is on cachaça, with an impeccable line of caipirinhas featuring Brazilian fruits like carambola and passionfruit. Aprazível also has a notable approach to sustainability, using organic produce, collecting rain water and upcycling cooking oil into biodegradable soap.
