Gohan, Rio de Janeiro

A restaurant that prides itself on using only fresh, healthy ingredients, Gohan is a firm favorite among health conscious locals as well as those who just love Japanese food. Sushi lovers won't be disappointed here - there is a vast selection to suit most appetites and budgets. A good option for solo diners is the 12-piece mix, which comes in at BRL20, while large groups (or the just plain gluttunous) can feast on 66 pieces for BRL95. The restaurant also does set lunch options, such as grilled chicken or fish with rice and salad, as well soup and a dessert - at less than BRL20 this is a tasty and healthy way to recharge your batteries without breaking the bank. Gohan is a little at odds with its surroundings - tucked away on a back street between samba clubs and bars, but is well worth searching out. A real local favorite. -Lucy Bryson
