Shirley, Rio de Janeiro

Shirley is considered a secret. If one wants to show off on how well he knows the city, he will praise Shirley. It is located in Leme, a beach neighbourhood, and specializes in seafood. They serve wonderful paellas in a bistro-like setting, with wood-covered walls and mirrors. Although the food is Spanish, the desserts are more toward Brazilian: milk pudding, chocolate mousse and fruit. Booking is advisable since it is a small restaurant.
