Lunch at Casa Momus

A short walk from Praça Tiradentes in downtown Rio de Janeiro, at Rua do Lavradio 11, there is a charming restaurant called Casa Momus. I had been meaning to check it out for a long time, but somehow I had never gotten around to it.

A quiet Saturday morning after visiting Crab at Praça Tiradentes I decided it was time.

It was easy enough to find, and even if the tables on the sidewalk looked nice I decided to go inside and up to the second floor.

I was not disappointed!

The restaurant is owned by three friends, foreigners who love Rio de Janeiro, they have restored an old building, filled it with beautiful furniture, art and even part of the famous cabinet from the Lidador store. There is more information here: http://casamomus.com.br/en/

It's a restaurant with plenty of charm, and the food turned out to be fabulous! It was a great choice for a Saturday lunch. As luck would have it this was the first Saturday of the month, time for the traditional street fair at Rua do Lavradio, complete with music and good deals. This is Rio my way!
