    Shrimp and garlic appetizer.

    Traveling alone half a world from home is always an adventure, and places like Skinna make it worthwhile. I was warmly greeted when I entered, and after they quickly figured out how bad my Portuguese was, I was talking to a very friendly and helpful waiter speaking perfect English. When he learned I wanted to eat signature Brazilian dishes, he steered me towards the sautéed shrimp in garlic as an appetizer, which arrived at the table fragrant and sizzling. The taste was spectacular as well! For my main dish he recommended a dish "invented three days ago" that was grilled sea bass on a bed of beans, tomato, green pepper, bananas, and coconut milk sauce - a sort of "bananas moqueca." The fish was perfectly cooked and the accompaniment was fantastic. I was too stuffed to eat dessert, but the coffee was perfectly prepared, and came with a tiny cookie to finish the meal. I don't know if or when I'll be back in Rio, but if I return I know I'll be eating dinner at Skilla again.

    Peruvian ceviche!

    It's hard to imagine a better, more authentic way to eat seafood than this. The restaurant is…read morelocated basically inside the fish market, and while it is clean and cozy, it is clearly a more humble setting than where you would expect to find some of the best seafood in the city. Don't let the simplicity of the setting fool you: you are about to eat a feast worthy of Poseidon himself. They have a platter you can order that will literally take up the entire table. It comes as a huge cast-iron griddle that is simply overflowing with lobsters, shrimp, salmon, various white fish, octopus, squid, mussels... Basically everything delicious you could imagine. The platter fed eight of is perfectly, and came in (including drinks) at about R$60 each. Not bad! The restaurant may be a bit hard to find. It's along the side of the big fish market. Just ask someone if you're having trouble finding it.

    I'm only reviewing because I didn't want other yelpers be misguided as I was by the existing 5 star…read morereview. My wife and I came and ordered the 1/2 portion of the same dish as pictured by the 5 star reviewer who claimed it was enough to feed 8. It includes fish, shrimp, octopus, muscles, calamari, baked potatoes and rice. Well... We went for lunch and the 2 of us finished everything without problem and it was R240 plus 10% service fee without drinks. The food was good but nothing stood out and we both felt it would be much better value and experience at any of the top Brazilian steakhouses that cost around R120 per person.

    Restaurante La Plancha - The chili sauce was so good and SPICY! I literally blacked out for a few seconds. But still a must try!
