Venue Detail
Zazá Bistrô Tropical
About this venue
Operating as a celebrated staple of Ipanema’s creative landscape since 1999, Zazá Bistrô Tropical is a vibrant, deeply romantic, and universally inclusive sanctuary. Officially verified as an LGBTQ+ friendly venue and a transgender safe space, this multi-story colonial house sits on arguably the most charming corner in Ipanema. It is the definitive post-beach ritual destination for the fashionable local queer crowd and global travelers migrating inland from the gay-frequented sands of Posto 8 and Posto 9.
