About Plana Grill:
Plana Grill is not easy to stumble upon because it's on the third floor of Top Center Ipanema (www.topcenteripanema.com.br), one of Rio's many shopping galleries. I don't know if I would have found it if guest Rio reporter Débora Birn hadn't taken me there.
You can trust the locals who take the escalators to the third floor of the gallery at Rua Visconde de Pirajá 550, in Ipanema and fill up the small restaurant at lunch time.
Home-Style Kilo:
As soon as you get to Brazil, you'll discover kilo restaurants, in which you help yourself from a buffet and weigh your choices. Kilo restaurants in Rio's hip South Zone - Zona Sul, including Copacabana, Leme, Ipanema and Leblon, are a little more expensive than elsewhere in Rio.
Like most kilo restaurants, Plana Grill serves southeast Brazil lunch staples: rice, beans, several kinds of vegetables, beef, chicken, fish.
