Praia no Parque

You’ll see locals at Praia no Parque for just about every occasion—celebrating something momentous, having a business lunch on someone else’s dime, or just eating with friends among over-the-top decorations, which include a giant giraffe perched over the bar. The menu’s full of plates like angus ribeye, king crab salad, steak tartar, and oysters, but the experience of eating here is far from stuffy—you’ll see tequila shots on tables, bottle sparklers, and diners waving napkins in the air to the sound of “Sweet Caroline". Make sure to book a table ahead of time, since it gets full almost every night.
