Folie à Deux Café Bistrô

Nice little place to take a bite near the Corcovado station. There are not so many options to choose, but food tastes good, big coffee and the price is OK.

I and my husband had a very nice tapioca meal in this cozy café. Just a short walk from the train that takes the Redeemer of Christ, it is a great option if you want to wait for your train. The owner and the staff are super friendly and the menu options are very appealing.

I have lived many years in France, but I am originally from Rio. I was taken by surprise to find right around the corner from my house a place that serves food prepared as well (or better) than many of my favorite bistros in Paris, Caen and Toulouse, the cities I know best. The omelette is simply the best I have ever had in my life, hands down. Folie uses a technique of beaten egg whites that transforms the dish into a cloud infused with the rich flavors of goat cheese and fresh mushrooms. The egg yoke sits under this beautiful white cloud, soft and warm, yet exquisitely light. To top it off, an aromatic brew of select coffee grains from the world's largest coffee producer (Brazil). They actually measure the amount of water and grains with a Japanese precision scale by Hario. Brazilian flavors are also on the menu, and I highly recommend the açaí smoothy with artesanal granola. The place is well located right by the foot of Corcovado, so if you are visiting the statue, make sure you stop by for a cup. Service +10 and very fair prices. Couldn't recommend it more!

Absolutely fabulous food, coffee, ambience and service! And the owner is not only super nice but also out of this world kind, offering travel advices and tips about Rio and Brazil !!! This little bistro is a true gem ! Thank you!

Wonderful to have a super tasty breakfast/lunch/dinner place in our neighborhood that uses locally sourced food. Highly recommend!!
