Rio - The King of the Kilo Restaurant

The Kilo restaurant, Brazil's creative take on buffet dining, is well respected in Rio de Janeiro with options for all budgets and pallets. On almost every street you will encounter signs that say “comida por kilo” (food per kilogram) indicating that food is sold by the kilo, regardless of the kind. These restaurants arouse curiosity in many first time visitors more used to eating by the menu rather than weight. Here are some of the city's best.
