a carioca favorite for adults and children is the international franchise restaurant of outback steakhouse, with multiple locations all over the city and brazil - locals dine here for special occassions as well as for meet-ups with large group of friends - kids are welcomed and have their own menu with crayons to color with.

shopping malls are a nice place to go out and hang around, specially on a hot summer's day since there is central air-conditioning - normally opened till 10 pm but if one is eating at a restaurant or heading to watch a late screening of a film, closing time of doors are subject to change.
