Areia Colonial Chill Out

Looking for an oasis in the middle of the city? The Arabic decoration, cushions and low couches makes this is a great place to chill out and relax. They used to even put sand on the ground but I’m kind of glad they stopped. The novelty wears off and you get sick of coming home with your shoes filled with sand.

You can still feel like an Arab prince lounging around on the cushions and smoke a shisha pipe. Early on they serve ethnic food and depending on the day of the week, later on in the evening they often have a live DJ playing house music bringing more of a club type atmosphere.
