Bar interessante, inspirado no bar do hotel do filme O Iluminado. Os arcos são a fundação original do teatro e utilizaram gordura de baleia como "cola". Fique atento aos arredores à noite.
Cool bar at the Municipal Theater's attic. Inspired in the cocktail bar of the hotel in the film "The Shining".

Best brunch in town! Try the Turkish Benedict eggs and any cake, they're all delicious! Check out Rua Oscar Freire 2 blocks down from Habitual - there is an amazing Havaianas concept store there, along with other nice stores.

Very nice house listed as historic heritage is a 1920's German influenced construction supposedly inhabited by a liberal couple - German gentleman and Chinese lady. Great drinks, a bit pricy.

The best rice you'll eat in your life! The ingredients change everyday (except the rice!) and you can add a fried egg on top of every rice dish. There are vegan options - which are equally amazing. If possible go during the week, it's very crowded on Saturdays (octopus rice day!) and there is no a/c... but definitely worth a visit.
