Bistrô do Paço

I just ordered sopa de lentilhas, always a risky business. It could have been a nice bowl of chunky soup with lentils, but instead it was one of those smaller urns with a pulverised brown liquid. It was at least tasty, but it could have been so much more.

This bistro is located in the patio of the Imperial Palace (Paço Imperial). Very good card (also in English). Our office is very close, so during lunch we go there and have a sandwich. Those sandwiched taste very good. Staff if very efficient and attending. The place is not very big but in a nice shady environment. Perfect for a lunch. They also have salads and other good and healthy food. 3 sandwiches and 3 soda's is about 100 R$

Great salads, quiches and authentic Swiss pies This bistro is located in the patio of the Imperial Palace (Paço Imperial) and serves very good salads, quiches, cold cuts, and other light meals including vegetarian dishes from 12 to 19 hours following the opening hours of the palace. The bistro is owned by a Swiss lady that takes pride in serving authentic Swiss pies. It is the only place in Rio that you can find these specialities from Switzerland. Being Swiss I don't miss the opportunity to have a cappuccino with one of the Swiss pies. I specially like the Büdner nusstorte, the apple pie and the carrot cake.

It’s ok, bit too fancy and overpriced. Food us nothing special. It’s a nice quite contrast to the downtown hustle.

Facing the Paço Imperial courtyard, this is a perfect refuge from the busy city centre streets around.
