The newest juice kid on Ipanema's high street has gone for a little more than just fruits and açaí, offering daily lunchtime specials - pratos executivos - such as steak, crêpes and stroganoff to entice those heading towards the beach or taking a break from the office.

You won't find any culinary miracles here, but the option to create your own salad from an array of ingredients is a nice touch. Their selection of fruit juices and a few adventurous house blends also help Nectar to stand out from the pack.
