I have traveled to many places and have found this place to make a great tuna fish sandwich. You…read moremay ask why I ate a tuna fish here and I'll tell you exactly this, I couldn't read a thing on the menu. Plus, as a pescatarian, you can't go wrong with it. Also, they make amazing fruit juice drinks that are fresh and sold daily. The staff is friendly and help as they can be without knowing very little English. I've been here twice on my stay. I'd come back. Restrooms are tolerable.

This is one of the many corner juice bars that you will find in Rio. This one in particular I liked…read morebecause of the large variety of fresh juices, delicious burgers, and selection of pastries. The service was really fast, so it's perfect for on-the-go meals. You should really try a different fruit juice every time you go to Big Bi! They have many of the local fruits, like the maracuja (relative to passion fruit). On the negative side, burgers do not come with fries. Very few juice bars will have fries for the same price or will offer fries for this price and charge less with no fries. I would walk around and compare. SOME ADVICE (for Big Bi and other juice bars in Rio): [ ] Read the menu that I posted in the pictures BEFORE traveling to Rio. I did not do this and it was frustrating to order and most of the time it was a guess. Pastry names would be ideal. Employees at Big Bi and other juice bars spoke little Spanish or English and knowing what you are ordering before traveling to Rio will make your like and their life a whole lot easier! [ ] Use credit card. Most USA banks have a 3% foreign fee per transaction. So you only loose 3 cents per dollar vs. the average 20 cents that are lost when exchanging money. I used my credit card wherever offered (~50% of businesses accepted Visa) and saved a lot compared to my friends. [ ] Based on the prices at Big Bi, budget how much you will spend on outside food. Keep in mind that corner juice bars are probably the most affordable meals in Rio so this is a minimum. That's it! Hope you like this place as much as we did!

Bom dia! This is the place to get your açaí fix…read more Ordering from this place is a Brazilian experience and the staff here are used to having foreigners. They can understand English but even if they don't they want you to shout your order to them in your best Portuguese. They know what you want even before you open your month. And yes the açaí smooth is delicious. It's less sweet and more nuttier compared to the style they serve in the US. So I like it! I recommend getting the small size so you can leave room to try the other foods. Short walk to the beach so it's to the beach but hustle vibe.

Some friends and I were visiting Rio in one of the hottest times of the year, so we ate a lot of…read moreice cream and cold sweets while there. When we saw Polis in an area we were walking, we knew we had to stop by for a nice chilled treat. It was very busy inside, which is usually a good sign that it will be a great spot (if people line up outside for it!) We went in and got in line to order. I saw they had a lot of Açaí drinks and shakes. And I saw they had flavors too like strawberry, mango, and blueberry. When my turn came up to order, I asked for a drink with strawberry and they said they only come in banana flavor. I was confused by that because I saw on the board they had strawberry (morango) as a flavor. But I went along with it since maybe they were out of strawberry? I got my banana drink and went outside with my friends, only to see that one of them got a strawberry drink! What the heck?! And unfortunately, my banana açaí drink was not the tastiest. I'm not sure if it was the açaí I didn't like, the banana flavor, or the mix of the two. It's also the fact that I didn't get what I wanted even though a friend got what I had clearly asked for just fine, and that left a bad taste in my mouth!
