Lorenzo Bistro, Rio de Janeiro

The entrees at this cozy Jardim Botanico bistro are an attraction in and of themselves, but it's the leafy terrace with views of the Christ statue that makes the Lorenzo Bistro extra special. Take a table outside for dining beneath the stars as you delight in dishes inspired by French and Italian cuisine. On Saturdays, the cassoulet is a real crowd pleaser, while other simple yet tasty selections include grilled lamb with white beans and vegetables. Service is excellent with an impressive wine list and tempting desserts. Try the rich Nutella ice cream, a wonderful choice to complement a romantic dinner. -Lucy Bryson
