A welcome break from the hubbub of Leblon’s Rua Dias Fereira, Severino can be found tucked away at the back of the tranquil Argumento bookshop, a perfect spot for a sandwich or coffee and some thinking time. Freshly baked cakes and breads in abundance and the outdoor terrace, when not in the height of a tropical summer, is a great place to unwind. Open until late, the salmon and gruyere crêpe (R$31) and pumpkin ravilioli (R$23) make for a good option for bigger appetites along with a cold glass of Chilean Sauvignon Blanc (R$10).
