Big Nectar is a chain of Restaurants that stays open all day.
This branch is well located in Catete, right next to the Subway station and in front of the Palacio do Catete. Since there are lots of Hotels and Hostels in the area, this is always a good option for late night food.
However, I usually come here to lunch, because they have one of the best prices in zona sul: R$ 34,90 / kg. Even though some plates have too much cilantro (ugh), they do have solid options of salad and hot dishes. Typical everyday food for Brazilians, so if you are a tourist and want to get a taste of the Brazilian routine, stop by!
They also serve breakfast buffet (not that good, though), salgados, burgers, pizzas and of course, juices. Great juices, although I find them to be quite expansive (well, but welcome to Rio). read more
