Zarzuela Del Rey, Rio de Janeiro

This Spanish restaurant in the Barra da Tijuca neighborhood prides itself on being a haven of high gastronomy, and seafood lovers will certainly have no cause for complaint. The seafood paella is piled high with lobster, squid, shrimp, octopus and a host of other treats nestling among the saffron-infused rice. This Spanish staple is far from the only opportunity to sample the spoils of the sea at Zarzuela Del Rey. The dessert menu is not extensive, but the pear poached in white wine and served with lime ice cream is a wonderfully refreshing way to round off your meal. - Lucy Bryson
