We went to Bar Urca for dinner on our third night in Rio. The main reason we chose this restaurant…read morewas because we read that they serve Camarão na Moranga--shrimp stuffed in a pumpkin. My girlfriend had been talking about this dish for years, ever since she first tried it during a trip to Rio nine years ago. Based on online reviews, Bar Urca seemed like the perfect spot to find it. The restaurant is located in Urca, a quiet, peaceful neighborhood with a charming vibe. The space itself is small, and the dining area is upstairs with a lovely view. The staff was super friendly and helpful--probably tied for the best service we had during the whole trip. As for the Camarão na Moranga--it was absolutely delicious and did not disappoint! The portion was huge--way too much food for just the two of us. Honestly, this dish could easily serve 3 to 4 people. We left completely stuffed. If you're ever in Rio, definitely give this place a try--and if you love shrimp, this dish is a must!

Although this small airport SDU at Bossa Nova mall isn't far from our airport. But it doesn't seem to be walkable. So we took Uber. The view out to the Enseada da Gloria is beautiful, especially at sunset. The restaurant is huge, with many sections. We got there at 6:50, must be too early, the restaurant was empty.

The mushroom rice isn't fully cooked, and they added some cream. Please pretty please, don't mess with my rice, just fully cook it with water. (Guess this is hard ...). The tuna isn't fresh. The rice they used is better than the side, the mushroom rice.
