Food Scene

Great SUSHI and all kinds of natural or macrobiotic food. This small restaurant offers an interesting mix of japanese food, from sushi to macrobiotic and natural plates. In every meal a starter (usually a Miso or Vegetable soup) and a desert (usually a tropical fruit) are always included. It's an insider tip only locals know. Do not hesitate to go, even if the street leading to GOHAN doesn't seem to be the best area of Lapa, but it is safe to go, trust it.
