Come hungry and join is for a Farewell Family Lunch at Ponteio Steakhouse, where we’ll enjoy one last meal together before wrapping up our time in Brazil.
A rodízio is an all-you-can-eat dining style where servers bring various grilled meats to your table continuously. You can try different cuts of several grilled meats, along with veggie side dishes and a salad and sushi bar, making it a fun and social way to enjoy a meal!
$15 per person all you can eat rodízio (excluding drinks & dessert).
Optional: Go Shopping at RioMar, Take a Stroll at the Beach, or Pack & Relax!
There is still a little bit of time before your trip tonight, so your late afternoon is free.
Want to do some shopping before your return? After lunch, Uber to RioMar Shopping Mall, a popular destination for gifts. Explore its wide range of stores and find the perfect keepsakes to bring home.
Alternatively, you can always take a last stroll down Boa Viagem beach for that last açai bowl and fresh coconut water. Or take a much deserved nap before your trip back!
Hungry for Dinner? Here are some great restaurants in the neighborhood. Or, you can always download the Rappi app and order delivery. For a nearby meal, Adele (the restaurant we went to on our first night in, is a great choice.)
