The tour company I went with at Rio recommended this place to me. They said açaí can be easily…read morefound in the streets of Rio but if you want to try authentic açaí from the Northeast part of Brazil, then you should definitely try this place. I like asking tour guides because they have the ins and outs and of course what's good in the local scene. And couldn't go wrong with this place! It was divine!! There's a bit of a language barrier but they really tried to work with me to get my order right. I kept saying Acai Especial but I think that was something you take to-go or at home to share :) so he began showing me the bowls and I opted for the the bigger one. For R $27 I had a heaping bowl of açaí and then gave me 2 containers for toppings - 1 granola then the other some white tapioca that looked like torn styrofoam. This place is sit-down "diner" looking type and takes only cash. So make sure you have some local currency before you go!! I am so happy I was able to try some authentic açaí while in Brazil.
