A hidden gem restaurant Raza in Leblon, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Here’s the English translation with emojis 👇 Hidden Gem Restaurant Raza in Leblon, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Why call it a hidden gem? 🤩 Because this place has ALL my favorite Brazilian dishes! 😍 Because it serves all the delicious flavors of Brazil! Every day when I walk by, the restaurant looks empty… curious face I suddenly decided to check it out. A restaurant that’s been empty for over a month straight? Today I ordered: 🍣 Peruvian ceviche appetizer – authentic, no fishy taste at all! 🥩 Steak – pretty good! The side fried rice and roasted fries were amazing. 🐟 White fish with mashed potatoes – perfectly cooked, so tender! The mashed potatoes added such rich texture. Since the chef clearly knows their stuff, 👥 I chatted with the server for ages – and discovered their menu is huge! They have my all-time favorite beef-stuffed bread, 🦴 Oxtail with bone marrow (you scoop the marrow with a spoon! 😋), 🌶️ Moqueca (northern Brazil’s palm oil seafood stew), and super creative desserts… I’m only showing part of the menu – it’s such a treasure trove! 🤤 I’ll definitely be back. Plus, the prices are reasonable! 📍 Location: Rua Leblon (the one not by the sea), two blocks down toward Corcovado Mountain… #Food #Brazil #ExpatLife #Rio #Leblon
