Caldinho de feijão

Isn't he the cutest???

This nice gentleman works in a kiosk on Ipanema Beach, almost at the corner of ...... During the winter months, July thru September, he will serve you a cup of caldinho de feijão, a delicious black bean soup, to warm you up as you stroll along the wide sidewalk watching the people still enjoying the beach in the evenings.

Coconut water

A very popular and very refreshing drink is the water from a fresh coconut. You will find they are sold all over town, the picture shows a kiosk along the beach. As you can see you could also have a glass of rum or whisky but the coconut water is very nice.

Brazilians also believe that it is a cure for all things, from a cold to a toothache.

Bijou

When in Rio you will find a lot of vendors wanting to sell you all kinds of stuff, each time the car stops at a red light someone will offer you something.
My favorite is a sort of very light cookie, called bijou.
Try it you'll like it, and it only costs R$2 for one package, or R$5 for three packages.
