It's worth braving the frenetic traffic along Ipanema’s narrow streets to eat at this modern but relaxed restaurant with a contemporary bistro feel and a kitchen that opens onto the dining room to savour chef Danilo Parah’s innovative and contemporary cuisine. His recipes showcase ingredients of the very highest quality, including extremely fresh seafood, in dishes such as the unforgettable creamy rice with octopus, and the mouthwatering and perfectly cooked steak served with a truffled aligot mash. Not forgetting the masterfully prepared and delicate spaghetti with beurre blanc and braised prawns. The dining experience and atmosphere are enhanced by Mäska’s array of refreshing cocktails, which are an absolute must.
