The list is fine except for a glaring mistake: Gero and Antiquarius are two different restaurants! And Antiquarius isn’t even in Ipanema!!!!!
Thank you, Alexandra. That explains why I couldn’t find a link, perhaps.
How strange… that’s as per Embratur’s press release.
Paul, I would be very wary of trusting Embratur press releases… a more reliable source of info on Brazil would be https://www.brazilforinsiders.com
er… and that’s my own site! :)
