Rocka Beach Lounge and Restaurant Praia Brava B zios Brazil

restaurants

Located along the mile-long white sand span of Praia Beach. Rocka is a sexy beach club bohemia of indoor-outdoor architecture set along a series of hillside outcroppings. During the day the outdoor bar is surrounded in white loungers with a sexy collection of Brazilian locals and visitors sipping on slushy mixed drinks as well-known deejays spins sultry grooves. A separate beach services offers oceanfront loungers and additional option of ordering from cocktail waiters that double as cabana boys. In every direction, from the people to the head-on ocean views of a ripping surf tide, is beautiful. At night the space morphs into a more-serious restaurant inside with its floor-to-ceiling windows and casual dining room with late night bar scene.

The Food

It is what every beachside restaurant should be, namely a carefree mix of youthful locals looking to play by the sea with a not-so-serious menu of seafood classics that somehow taste like the best thing you’ve ever eaten on a blissful 4pm afternoon of DJ mixes and Caipirinhas. Chef Gustavo Rinkevich conducts a classic seafood menu of local fish specialties cooked on an open grill precluded by savory appetizers like homemade ceviche or calamari, blackened shrimp and traditional Brazilian meat platters. At night the setting is less populated, but more upscale, with a low-key dinner presentation far away from the hectic downtown Buzios.

Last Word

Look for weekly DJ parties and special events especially over summertime and Carnival/New Years holiday.
