Chef Pedro de Artagão's Irajá is a neighborhood gem that punches well above its weight, offering creative contemporary Brazilian cooking in a relaxed, unpretentious setting. The menu changes frequently and showcases underused Brazilian ingredients with real skill. The lunch set menu is particularly good value. It has a loyal local following and avoids the self-importance of some of Rio's fine-dining scene.
