Gula Gula

Frommer's Review

For a lighter and healthier meal or snack, stop in at Gula Gula. The menu includes delicious fresh salads such as the caprese -- a layered tower of sliced tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella -- the salada da casa with mixed greens, pumpkin, goat cheese, and crisp bits of Parma ham, or the more Brazilian palm-heart salad with turkey and pineapple. Gula Gula also serves a variety of grilled meats, chicken, and fish. Each selection of meat comes with a choice of sauce and two side dishes (vegetables, potatoes, or salad). Other lunch or light dinner options include pasta, quiches, and sandwiches. The Ipanema location has a lovely sidewalk patio. For dessert, you can try some of the low-cal options, but to live up to the name (gula means gluttony) it behooves you to try a banana crème brûlée or fruit strudel.
