If, after enjoying the beach, you just want to eat and relax, then you’re in the right place. Or rather, you’ll be in the best places if you follow our tips! So, check out the options for bars and restaurants to enjoy after the beach in Rio de Janeiro!
Yayá Comidaria Pop Brasileira
Close to Leme beach, Yayá Comidaria Pop Brasileira is a place full of personality run by chef Andressa Cabral.
There, the food is well seasoned, with a choice of appetizers and main courses to enjoy unpretentiously, at any time of the day.
The highlights include the jiló dumpling with sausage, octopus with vatapá and beef with pequi.
In addition, a cold beer or a Caju Amigo drink is the perfect accompaniment. But if you’re a non-alcoholic drink er, go for the chamomile, tangerine and honey iced tea!

Mureta do Leme
Also in Leme, it’s super worth extending the day at Mureta do Leme to enjoy Rio after the beach.
This is because the kiosk is very versatile and democratic, the kind that appeals to all tastes and palates. But that’s not all! In addition to the delicious snacks and dishes, the view of the beach is the combo for a perfect day!
Oh, and if you’re an early riser looking for a good breakfast, Mureta do Leme opens early!

Ocyá
If you’re enjoying a beach in Leblon, Ocyá is just around the corner from Posto 12. The house’s forte is fish and seafood, led by chef Gerônimo Athuel.
An excellent starter is the grilled fish kafta with chickpea paste and roasted tomatoes – but there are many other delights to enjoy! At the bar, the Tropicália drink with vodka, jabuticaba, red vermouth and lemon is a guaranteed hit!
In addition to the Leblon unit, Ocyá is also on Gigóia Island. The ideal program for sunny days and blue skies.

Pasta + Ella
If you think Italian food doesn’t go well with post-beach in Rio de Janeiro, it’s because you haven’t been to Massa + Ella yet !
That’s because the restaurant offers a great experience for hot days in Rio, using a classic of Italian culture as a reference – the Spritz!
Thus, the “Spritz Bar” has six different cocktails based on the drink, as well as appetizers to share, part of the regular menu. The Pastel Especial accompanied by the house vinaigrette is everything!
📌Rua Dias Ferreira 617, Lojas A e B – Leblon
Pavão Azul
A super relaxed atmosphere that’s perfect for a day at the beach is Pavão Azul.
A classic for those who visit Copacabana, the bar is very busy, with cold draft beer always on tap and plenty of dishes and snacks to satisfy your post-dip cravings. The feijoada dumpling and octopus rice are champions!
📌Rua Hilário de Gouveia, 71 – Copacabana
Koral
If you’re on Ipanema Beach the tip is to visit Koral, a charming house run by young chef Pedro Coronha.
This is because the house, which was already great, has added new seating on the terrace and on the sidewalk, making the atmosphere more relaxed without losing its elegance.
So, post-beach, take advantage of the light and refreshing options on the menu, such as the Mascarpone Pastry with crayfish tartar and the Crudo no Carvão, the house’s classic sashimi, sealed in charcoal and accompanied by puttanesca sauce and sourdough. Delicious!
