Balada Mix Bistro

The Balada Mix is a network of popular restaurants that started in Barra and have been spreading throughout Rio. The recipe for their success seems to be a welcoming and casual atmosphere with a variety of simple and tasty food.

The restaurant in Barra has a colorful décor and is suited for large parties or intimate gatherings of couples or small groups of friends. The staff is friendly, attentive and efficient. The casual atmosphere lends itself to enjoying and lingering over your meal. You will find all types of sandwiches and light dishes of deliciously prepared grilled meats, chicken or rice and beans. There is also a selection of tempting desserts – all quite good and simply prepared.

You also have to try the Açai. It can be described as a fruit smoothie made with a luscious purple fruit from the north of Brazil mixed with guaraná syrup. You can also add banana, strawberry or a bit of granola – it’s thick and creamy and you will need a spoon to eat it.
