There are many restaurants next to the University (UFRJ), We recommend two of them:

- Confeteria Manon, Rua do Ouvidor, 187 (circled in red). When you enter, there is first a cafeteria, the restaurant is at the back, it is food by the weight.

- Confeteria Colombo, Rua Gonçalves Dias 32 (circled in blue). On the ground floor, there is a cafeteria, the restaurant is on the 1st floor, you have to take a lift which is on the right side. It is a fixed price, all you can eat. It is worth to try at least once.

These two restaurants are part of the history of downtown Rio de Janeiro.
