Fodor's Expert Review Doce Delícia

$$ Ipanema and Leblon Eclectic

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

Diners at the Sweet Delight build a meal by selecting from more than three-dozen combinations of vegetables, side dishes, hot mains, and fruits. Choices include quiche, salmon, grilled tenderloin, chicken, and cold pasta, which can be dressed with anything from yogurt-based sauces to fanciful creations that combine mustard, lemon, and herbs. The many vegetarian plates lure in the health-conscious set, as do desserts such as the 240-calorie chocolate cheesecake and banana strudel and apple tartlets, both of which tally a mere 180 calories. There are plenty of high-cal desserts to entice traditionally sweet-toothed types as well. Doce Delícia hosts seasonal food festivals—a strawberry one in June and a shrimp one in August—that local foodies have enthusiastically embraced.
