Among various bars, pubs, restaurants, lounges and others, Rio is full of possibilities for those who like to eat and drink well.

It’s 6 p.m. in Jardim Botânico Street, on the Rio’s south zone. The red lights of stopped cars shine to the night that begins to fall. Traffic is slow and, at the same time, agitated, in a not choreographed dance of cars and people passing by.

Among all the craziness of the city, a place has the power to disconnect body and mind of continuous and mechanized movement. Follow the street and find, with the help of Lime&Tonic, stillness, strength of body and mind cleansing at Nirvana Space! { read more }

In one of the most popular areas of Copacabana, the Lido Square, the East is present through the preciousness of its culture.

From the street, you already see the succulent shawarma, a tasty lamb running on the spit inside the house. This, in its turn, displays a facade all in red, of which name and flag nailed leaves no doubt that the food found there is Arab! Be welcome, in the company of Lime&Tonic, to the Amir! { read more }
