One of the best places to have a morning brunch with a "wow" view when in Rio de Janeiro. Other places I can think of is Confeitaria Colombo in Copacabana, Hotel Fasano and Copacabana Palace, to name just a few. What makes this place so unique is its really old architecture with Tijuca forrest, Corcovado mountain and Cristo Redento as a backdrop. Food (breakfast options) is exquisite and you definitely feel like you're rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous. Speaking of which, the place has been made famous by Pharrell Williams and Snoop Dogg as its where they recorded their famous no1 hit, Beautiful.

In 1811 a new pier, named "Cais do Valongo", was built for the landing and trading of enslaved Africans (mainly from Congo and Angola). Through this quay, more than 500.000 Africans arrived in Brazil. Sad memories of slavery ... Over the years, the quay undergone some transformations, one of them, in 1843, to welcome the Italian Princess Thereza Christina de Bourbon e Duas Sicílias, the last Brazilian Empress. Thereafter the pier was renamed on her honor as "Cais da Imperatriz". In 2017, it was appointed as a world heritage site by Unesco - a very good reason to visit it! While strolling along beautiful "Boulevard Olímpico", "Cais do Valongo" is just two blocks away. Enjoy!
