gaia art and café is a vegetarian restaurant in leme run by musician flavia torga, offers jazz on tuesdays, and the charming chorinho on sunday afternoon.

there is a fluidity to the way cariocas view daytime and nighttime recreations, not desiring or needing to select just one sensual pleasure, but instead indulging in a feast of melody and cuisine.

in rio there just might be more restaurants with music than without, but  restaurante ecletico raises the bar a notch by having singing waiters from tuesday through saturday - the menu is quite satisfactory and the ambiance extremely festive. 

located in barra, this bar / restaurant / lounge / showhouse is a favorite among cariocas celebrating birthdays and other events but it is not well known among visitors - they offer a variety of musical programming that translates into instant parties.
