Café das Ruinas, Rio de Janeiro

With stunning views across Guanabara Bay to Sugar Loaf mountain, Café das Ruinas offers one of Rio's most scenic hangouts to enjoy a drink and a bite to eat. The café is housed within the grounds of Parque das Ruinas, a belle epoque mansion house and garden restored to a most impressive effect. Enjoy a real feast with their all-day breakfast: breads, pao do queijo (Brazilian cheese rolls), cereals, ham, cheese, fruit salad, cake, fruit juice, and a hot drink from Café Laurinda. Still hungry? Scrambled eggs, bacon and sausages can be ordered separately, or savor one of the lighter tasty sandwiches, cakes or pastries. Sip at any of their bottled beers, coffees or fruit juices as you sit back and soak up the scenery. - Lucy Bryson
