The Top Sushi Restaurants in Leblon

Taking its name after the chef that inspires and creates the menu, Deusimar sushi in Leblon is a small yet popular venue with several sushi options in addition to other authentic Japanese food.

This modern chain has a wide selection of typical sushi and temaki, followed by a dessert menu that is decidedly more North American (think brownies and ice cream.)
