Amazonia Soul is a small, casual cafe offering dishes and ingredients from the Amazon! One of the…read moremost unique items on the menu was the tapioca crepe, a super chewy folded crepe made with tapioca flour batter and a choice of filling--I had the Vatapa, a shrimp cream, which had a nice savory, seafood flavor. The crepe was so chewy that it barely broke down even when thoroughly chewed, and I've never had anything quite like it! My favorite dish was the Tacaca, an intensely-flavored soup made with tucupi (a sour yellow sauce extracted from manioc), boiled tapioca starch (with a chewy jelly consistency), (very salty) dried shrimp, and jambu (an Amazonian herb that gave a numbing sensation, similar to Sichuan peppercorns). The soup was another super unique dish and was sour, salty, hot, seafoody, and earthy all at once!

Oh my God. The açai bowl here is so incredibly good. And I'm not a huge fan. We had it with granola…read moreand bananas and strawberries and honey. The smallest size was perfect for me. It was so cold and so good. The perfect thing to have in December. Services is super nice. I believe it was 19 Brazilian dollars for the smallest which is less than four dollars. We might have to go there again tomorrow.!!!

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!

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.

I was served rubbery beef that tasted completely off, with cold fries and a hair in my salad. Juices and açaí are fine though. Service is just OK, with the kids who work here looking more glazed than a torta de limão at all hours. I recommend walking 2-3 blocks northeast towards the lagoa instead where you will find some fairly nondescript lânchonetes and padarias that are cheaper and of better quality. After all, this is a chain next to a metro station! Keep expectations low. At least it's 24 hrs.

Quite a selection of sandwiches (on croissants, if you hadn't caught that already from the name), milkshakes, beer, wine, salads, and, best of all, DESSERT croissants (also quite a selection). Two of us left with full stomachs and satisfied palates for under R 80 (about US 20). We'll be back in a few days to try different items. Muito bem!

They have all sorts of different meal deals from salgadinho e juice or pastel and juice and so on for burgers and all. This is a great way to get some quick bite and go on your merry touristic day. They have outside (sidewalk) sitting and table service , and that is very convenient. Once you are done eating you can pay at the register or as the table server to bring the check. Here in brazil they make a salary and some restaurants also add tip to the bill so generally you don't need to worry about tiping. The coxinha here is a great size and one promotion meal with that should be enough to hold you for several hours. The pastel is also a great size and has stuffing in the whole thing so you will see very little doughy parts. These were great choices in my opinion. Some things to keep in mind. This is a reasonably poor country so if you decide to sit on the outside sitting, keep your eyes peeled for the ppl walking behind and around you. Keep your phone out of site, of you want to yelp just yet to seek some sitting inside at the salgadinho bar area. Overall I would come back for the quick cheap eats, I would never sit outside again as I felt really unsafe. Also you can always come in grab and take it to go.
