Amazônia Soul
This tiny new café doles out small plates of caranguejo (crab meat), vatapá (a puree of manioc, dried shrimp, coconut and dendê oil) and tacacá a complicated soup made of tapioca, shrimp and manioc root. You can also sample juices and ice creams made from Amazonian fruits. The small shop inside sells handicrafts and edible items from the Amazon.

Arataca
The casual, no-nonsense Arataca serves the exotic cuisine of the Amazon. Arataca is a handy spot to grab a savory bowl of the soup. There’s also pirarucu (a kind of fish) , pato no tucupi (roast duck flavored with garlic) or vatapá, all of which go nicely with real guarana juice.

Espírito Santa
Espírito Santa is set in a beautifully restored mansion in Santa Teresa, with sweeping views from its back patio. The cuisine is no less amazing: the chef expertly prepares rich meat and seafood dishes from the Amazon.

Tacacá do Norte
The fragrant and tasty Amazonian soup known as tacacá is made of manioc paste, jambu (a Brazilian vegetable) leaves, and fresh and dried shrimp – and this is one of the few places in Rio to try it.
