The ambience is perfect. Service is superb. Wine choice is on point. Food is freaking amazing. I can't say enough about this place. The owner, Barbara, is all about making the experience optimal. We had the salmon and the shrimp Boboa (sp?) and both were superlative. This is a place not to be missed. read more

We came here on a rainy Monday night and got a table easily. We were given the option of a menu in Portuguese or English (we picked English) and had friendly, attentive service the entire night, in a casual, relaxed atmosphere. We loved all of our food - I ordered the fish fillet with belle meuniére sauce, which included shrimp on top and was served with rice -- absolutely delicious. My boyfriend ordered the chicken skewer which he said was seasoned perfectly, and an order of feijoada balls, which he also really enjoyed. Our entire dinner cost about 180 reais (including tip and a couple rounds of strong caipirinhas), which is around 45 dollars. A great dinner - would highly recommend to anyone staying in the area! read more

Just had a fabulous thick rare steak steak with amazing soft peppercorns and a good bottle of Carmenere. Excellent company as well. Caipirinha's not bad either. Owner/host helped us out since she spoke english, all the other tables seemed to be locals - a good sign. Servers didn't speak much English but were extremely helpful and friendly. The house specialty is roasted octopus and it is fantastic and very filling. read more

We just love that place, great Caipirinhas (try the Maracuja) and their Octopus dishes are fantastic. Location is next to the busy Ave. Lucio Costa so try to come on a not so busy day.... read more

Messi dark place that looks dirty when you get in. The shrimp part of the menu is the good one. Do not expect clean and good service. You will wait. Well, I will struggle to go back there. read more

We went here attending a conference. It was the only really crowded place in the area and now we know why. They have great food and great drinks. Especially the caipirinha is worth a try. The service is great, at least some speak english. Many locals here. Our full recommendation, the place is authentic and just great. read more

After a day on the beach in Barra, this has become the go-to spot for traditional Brazilian seafood dishes. Located along a popular beach front strip, this restaurant gets going on weekend afternoons. If there are people waiting, there's a democratic way of seating yourself, it's basically every man for himself (i.e. no waiting list to drop your name). So just grab a table when one frees up and order a round of chopps or caipirinhas. I really like the shrimp and crab pastels, especially after dropping some hot sauce on top. The octopus and squid appetizer is a treat as was the bobó de camarão. At night, the place livens up and offers a mix of live music on weekends. Ideal spot for a late weekend lunch by the beach. read more

As an American I really enjoyed my experience here. It has a nice view of the ocean, and a laid back beachy lounge feel. The food wasn't bad and the have quite large empanadas for $R5. I was pleased with my choice of meat empanada. I also had some chicken skewers (around $R16) but felt the chicken was dry and way too salty. The beer list was lacking but there are plenty of cocktails. Service was good, and I was given an English menu. There was a lady (Barbara) who translated for us as well. Even on a Sunday the place was lively and there was a band singing bluesy rock (in English!) This actually made an otherwise lackluster trip (I came for work) rather a little better. It is right on the back though so I felt the cocktails were a bit over priced and other than the empanadas the food was just OK. I think if I were Brazilian though I may have a different opinion of the place. read more

A cool Monday evening with a packed local and touristy crowd at Bangalo. I had the Roasted Octopus that was grilled and the roast with garlic, onions, and olive oil with potatoes. The meat was tender inside and a bit crusty outside due to grilling. The taste was fabulous and enough for me. The best part is the band and the jazz music. A delightful evening! read more
