Our vision

## An embassy of Rio at Sugarloaf Mountain

**Embaixada Carioca wants to introduce Rio's food culture to visitors who have little time in the city.** On Urca Hill, the restaurant is part of the trip, not a stop disconnected from the itinerary.

In one place, visitors find what they look for in Rio: the view, Brazilian food, caipirinha, hospitality and a sense of place.
