Food Scene
One of the best Açai (fruit somoothie) in town. Good Crepes, too.
Ask the dayshift people for Açai do Mário. It has very very little sugar, different from the normal version

The best Açai in Rio. Pure, thick. When not frozen, just cold from the fridge, you can stand a spoon in the bowl.
But if you like the cold smoothie style, you might prefer Bibi sucos.
