Jobi: a Carioca favorite

Thirsty? Jobi can help. This bar in Leblon, Av Ataulfo de Paiva 1166, has been helping thirsty Cariocas for many years. You can sit on one of those high (and uncomfortable) bar stools out in the middle of the sidewalk watching Rio fauna walk by or sit at a cozy table inside. Either way you will feel like a real Carioca.

Have a beer and shrimp empadinha, or how about some delicious provencal octopus, or dried beef with butternut squash? The names of these dishes, granted, are a bit odd but they are: delicious! If you are feeling a little less adventuresome try a steak sandwich or steak with cheese, and if you feel rich order the scrumptious parma ham on french bread sandwich.

But please, as I have seen some sad gringoes do in the paast, do not order a pizza (go to Braz restauarant instead!) nor an omelette (try Market restaurant for this) here.

Bon appetit!

beijos,
