Espírito Santa in Rio De Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil | Restaurant

Espírito Santa - Amazonian cuisine is a mystery, even to most Brazilians, so the appearance of a romantic hilltop spot like this restaurant has exposed the locals to new flavors. They are found in dishes like piranha soup, steamed tambaqui (an Amazonian fish) and tacacá, a soupy stew made with mandioca root, shrimp and a dark green leaf known as jambu, which causes a slight numbing sensation in the mouth. All this and more at Espírito Santa.
