Sobrenatural
The exposed brick and old hardwood ceiling set the stage for feasting on the frutos do mar (seafood). Lines gather on weekends for grilled fish and moqueca. During the week, stop by for lunchtime specials.

Barreado
In a lush setting west of Barra, this rustic spot serves fresh Brazilian seafood with a wildly eclectic twist. Meals are prepared in the wood-burning oven, and pumpkin is the serving vehicle of choice. You can order it filled with rich delicacies such as shrimp with catupiry (a kind of cheese), scampi, or lobster and mango. Vatapá and roast meats are also excellent choices. It’s located about 35km west of Rio.

Azul Marinho
Below the Arpoador Inn, Azul Marinho serves an assortment of tasty seafood dishes, and the outdoor tables facing the ocean have the best beachside setting you’ll find in the Zona Sul (there’s no traffic between you and the sea, only sand). Try one of the moquecas (seafood stew), the octopus vinaigrette salad or the famous whole fish baked in salt.

Tia Palmira
A venerable destination for 40 years, Tia Palmira wins fans with its seafood rodízio. Plate after plate of vatapá (a seafood dish with a thick sauce of manioc paste, coconut and dendê or palm oil), crabmeat, grilled fish, shrimp pastries and other fruits of the sea come to your table until you can eat no more.

AlbaMar
With a heralded new chef at the helm, AlbaMar has reinvented itself as a one of Rio’s top seafood destinations. Top picks are fresh oysters, grilled seafood with vegetables and moqueca dishes. The old-fashioned green gazebo-like structure offers excellent views of the Baía de Guanabara and Niterói.

Bar Mônaco
The fresh fish counter gives it all away: the casual Bar Mônaco is the neighborhood destination for sizzling plates of grilled squid, fresh cherne, shrimp and a mean bowl of Leão Veloso (a rich seafood soup). Sidewalk tables provide a relaxing point for a meal or a drink on a fairly untrafficked street.

Marius Crustáceos
Although the price is sky-high here, this all-you-can-eat seafood restaurant has many fans. The waiters file through the dining room bearing delectable fruits of the sea - lobster, mussels, oysters, tuna, salmon, scallops and more.
Next door is Marius Carnes, serving delicious cuts of steak.
