On weekends Cariocas feast on seafood at this simple open-air eatery overlooking the coast. A venerable destination for 40 years, Tia Palmira keeps its fans coming back for its exquisite seafood rodízio (all-you-can-eat barbecue dinner). Plate after plate of vatapá, crabmeat, grilled fish, shrimp pastries and other fruits of the sea come to your table until you can eat no more. It's located 40km west of Rio near the coast.
