The soup is thick and when poured over rice it's delicious. Enjoy the sunset and dine on the beach. Grab a flan dessert or one of the dessert pizzas from adjoining Chapeu de Sol and your dinner is complete. Service is excellent. Waiters always keeping your glass full with whatever you're drinking.

There are about 5-7 different dishes of the day that you can choose from. I had fish with rice (and fries of course, we are in Brazil) and spinach and it was simple but tasty. I tried my friend's meals and they were also all good. Prices are low, food is tasty, it looks a bit like a canteen but service is nice and the atmosphere too. Good choice!

Nice place with colonial ambiance in the middle of "restaurant row" on Samuel Costa Street, just up…read morethe block from our favorite restaurant in town, Bartholomeu (see my review). My wife had shrimp tossed in pasta, and I had a crusted filet of fish over risotto, and both were excellent. Service is prompt and cordial. Very little English spoken, but the menus have English translations. Wine & beer served. Of the two (this one and Bartholomeu), we preferred the latter -- but if you have two nights in town I would definitely suggest trying them both; can't go wrong with either one. Brazilians dine relatively late, so if you arrive at either one in the 6:00-to-7:00 range there is no need for reservations.

We then had some cheese balls as another appetizer, and then the crusted fish and squid risotto for dinner all of which was excellent. The service was top notch and we felt that it was a meal that merited a tip beyond the usual 10%. Highly creative and delicious meal that we strongly recommend. Also very cute restaurant and decor.

The smoked steak tartare is amazing -- I was told they use to change the smoke flavor used on a monthly basis! I also had a shrimp pasta that I liked a lot (not all agreed with me though); tried the pork and it was very tasty as well (no one disagreed here). The wine list does not disappoint. Recommended.
