"At more than 30,000 square feet, Xian is a massive multi-use venue that’s part bar, part restaurant, and soon-to-be-part concert hall located right next to Santos Dumont airport. There’s a Japanese spirit behind the menu, with dishes like the crunchy oysters with wasabi mayonnaise and tonkatsu sauce, pork ribs with miso, and a menu of sushi and sashimi. The popular cocktail bar occupies the patio, with stunning views of Sugar Loaf and Christ the Redeemer." - Rafael Tonon
