By day a leafy produce market of fruit, flowers and fishmongers; by night one of Zona Sul’s most easygoing places to drink and eat. The Cobal do Humaitá fills with open-air tables under the trees, and a friendly jumble of bars and restaurants — Brazilian botecos, pizza, Japanese, Mexican — that draw a young, local crowd from Wednesday through the weekend. Unpretentious, buzzy and quintessentially carioca.
While you’re in the city, pair it with a Flavors of Rio food tour.
