Porto do Sabor is a very well know franchise for snacks in Rio de Janeiro. I used to study close to…read morethis place, and I loved it (so did my classmates). With excellent prices, fast service, many delicious options to choose from (including some healthy ones), this place is great. Expect to find juices, salads, oven-baked savory treats, and sandwiches. They are very well known for their açaí. What I love about their açaí is that the price is excellent and it includes fruit and granola (in some places you have to pay extra for that). It's definitely a must try. I also quite enjoy their "sanduíche montado", which was my school lunch many times, and their croissants.

Super convenient for the lucky people who live on Barra Beach. Golden Sucos is always nicely air conditioned, and the menu is extensively, with a lot of healthy options. There is SO much to look at to order, it often takes me way too long. Great selection of juices, açaí, sandwiches, etc. The service is actually pretty quick, too. But I took off a star because, in the tradition of team service here in Rio, getting the check and getting the correct check and getting change is a consistent problem here. We've gotten the wrong check multiple times. Ask for the key at the counter to go to the bathroom, which is next to the pharmacy, and very clean.

One of the more popular healthy chains in Rio. English menus…read moremake it very easy to order. Known for their drinks, salads, burgers, and desserts, this place is relaxing, clean, and orderly.
