Esch Cafe, Rio de Janeiro

The trendy ambience of this cigar store/restaurant makes it a favorite downtown spot for smokers, especially those who love a good cigar. Comfortably decorated with tobacco-related motifs and providing courteous service, the cafe offers dishes like baby beef with potatoes and herb sauce or green salad with broiled goat's cheese. Its magnificent apple or banana crumble is highly recommended. After the meal, enjoy an excellent Cuban cigar in the mezzanine. A no-smoking section is also available. Happy Hour is Wednesdays and Thursdays. There is also a branch in Leblon.
