Perfect for grabbing a quick bite or juice on your way to or from the beach, the counter at Beach Sucos runs from left to right and front to back, making the all-important close contact with the server speed things along if need be. The usual tempting cheese and ham pies are stacked high and ready to go, but you can also grab a table on the street and take your time over a coffee and something more substantial, looking out on one of the more entertainingly hustle-and-bustly streets in Ipanema. Any questions, ask the bald man keeping his eye on everything from the corner, he'll see you right. The two other branches encourage a little more time to be taken over your order with more of a sit-down feel, one up the road in Ipanema (Rua Visconde de Pirajá 447) and the other close to Shopping Leblon (Avenida Afrânio de Melo Franco 170a).
