8. It’s not really a dish, but it’s a
typical snack. Goes to carioca beach
and never have eaten a Globo with
Mate (tea) is not known the
‘carioca’ in essence.
You can find this all around
the country, but in Rio it has
a special flavour.
This is a dish that you can find
all around the globe, but only
in Rio it’s an obligation to eat
once a week!

9. Who order packed lunch knows that has
Picadinho every week. The sequence of the
packed lunch during the week is this: Filé
(Steak), Filé Acebolado (Steak with
Onions), Picadinho, Estrogonofe.
This dish was truly created in Rio de
Janeiro, named on diplomat and
politician Oswaldo Aranha (1894-
1960), was invented at the Restaurante
Cosmopolita, in Lapa.
Mineiro but necessary
on the carioca’s table.

10. For me, only in Christmas! It
consists in fried bread soaked in
milk and eggs sprinkled with
sugar and cinnamon.
It can be originally Portuguese,
but there are several places here in
Rio de Janeiro that serve this dish.
It’s only start the cold weather for
everybody look for this warm
soup.
Are you without idea or time to
cook the Sunday lunch? It’s only
order the frango assado da
padaria, usually a delight to clog
the arteries.

11. End of the night, getting out of the work, when
hunger presses and the money is short
‘o podrão’ is the salvation. The carioca hot dog,
takes corn, pea, potato chip, grated cheese, egg,
olive, raisins, and whatever your imagination
goes.

13. The places were this sport is
practiced are highly contested
in Rio’s sands and, besides the
mere mortals, you can find
many athletes and artists in the
matches.
The advantage of this sport is be
intimate, run allows you to have
time with yourself to think, reflect,
practically meditate. Another
option is enjoy your playlist,
relaxing and exercising the body
under the beautiful carioca view.
Those who thinks intimist sports
sucks, beach soccer is one of the
preferred options in Rio. Team
work and lot of fun to enjoy
Rio’s summer.

14. Alternative to pratice sport, relax
and enjoy Rio’s view. The bike paths
are very popular, specially Lagoa
Rodrigo de Freitas line and Leme to
Barra da Tijuca line. This sport
works many body muscles and have
a high calorie loss.
Genuinely Brazilian, this sport uses
Beach volleyball as base, but is
played without hands. Or would be
the basis of soccer played above the
volleyball net? If someone realizes,
tell us, please! Several celebrities
and athletes can be found practicing
this sport in Rio’s beaches..
The surfers flock gather in sea
with big waves. So, it’s not in
any beach that you can pratice
this sport. The preferred places
are Arpoador and Prainha.

15. Separate your board and your
swimfin, let’s practice bodyboard!
There is a school in Posto 5, in
Copacabana, that teaches you this
sport. The classes take place every
Saturday morning, you must just
schedule!
Did you know that this sport emerged here in
Brazil? For those who believe that it is just a
beachy game, is wrong, and the Associação
Brasileira de Frescobol (Brazilian Frescobol
Association) exist to confirm that it is, indeed,
a sport. This sport works coordination and
concentratios. You must take care to not
bother the other beach visitors.
This sport requires coordination,
concentration and balance. Fashion is
walking on the elastic. Beginners fall
easily, but with pratice anyone can
stay on line for longer.
