Business visitors visiting Rio de Janeiro are spoilt for choice when it comes to wining and dining clients and potential business partners - the best Rio de Janeiro business travel restaurants are well accustomed to dealing with important diners.
Dine at the Fasano Al Mar, for example, and you can request in advance for your party to be sectioned off from the main restaurant by elegant white linen curtains. For visitors with generous expense accounts, Fasano Al Mar is ideally located within the exlusive Fasano Rio hotel, while two of the city's other standout business hotels - Copacabana Palace and Sofitel Rio, are also home to excellent restaurants. There's fine Italian dining at Copacabana Palace's sophisticated Cipriani, while Le Pre-Catelan, at the Sofitel Rio, has picked up countless awards for its fine French cuisine.
If the budget doesn't stretch to dinner at these top-flight Rio de Janeiro restaurants, business visitors will find plenty of more affordable options. In the business-oriented district of Centro, for example, there are good lunches to be had at Amerelinho and the chic Cais do Oriente.
