South Ferro

Rio de Janeiro


Chef Sei Shiroma made his name with Ferro e Farinha, widely regarded as Rio’s best pizza place. South Ferro, Shiroma’s second restaurant, adds a healthy pinch of Asian spice in vegetable dumplings, tempura, fish curry and outstanding bowls of ramen. You'll also find a few pizza selections and well-made cocktails (R$32).

The barely marked entrance leads into a cozy but industrial space with exposed bulbs, concrete floors and street-art-style paintings adorning the walls.
