Cafe Janeiro

In Plaza Rio de Janeiro, new restaurants seem to pop up monthly. But even still, finding a place in the area for a cocktail and a light bite during a late afternoon lull has been weirdly difficult. Until now. The menu at Cafe Janeiro includes excellent snacks like deviled eggs, nopales salad, and tomato soup, but the main draw is the relaxed atmosphere. You can spend hours here, sipping a negroni (or two) while taking in the action on the plaza. And if you like jazz, they host live shows throughout the week.
