Think Paris, think the eiffel tower, golden-stone facades, beret wearing, baguette bearing gentlemen and effortlessly chic, cappuccino sipping french femmes.

Casa Fat Radish Showcases Brasilian Talent
The World Cup 2014 is not just about football. If that sounds rather contradictory, let us divulge a little further.

The concept draws from Carioca’s love of informal street drinking but mixes it with a something new and different.
