Food was fairly priced and beer was cheap. I saw a gentleman at another table order a fish. The waiter came and de-boned the the fish and it looked delicious! I would recommend trying that. The service was good. They were able to communicate with us without a problem even though none of us spoke portuguese. The restaurant is a little crammed, but manageable.

Here is my two cents on the food and a little bit of chatter. What is a surprise I had when…read moresearching through a various menus on different restaurants ,I came across barbecue pork ribs and they also serve fresh squeezed orange juice. It was a rainy and miserable day in Rio de Janeiro and I did not feel like trogging through the wetness . I got my food via Uber Eats It was delivered hot and on time. The pork ribs were in between baby back ribs and slab ribs everything's different in Brazil. The pork was & tasted so good.It fell off the bone and easy enough for two. So in a sauce nothing like we have here in United States no mustard sauce and no tomato-based sauce something in between they call barbecue sauce..Along with french fries , portions are big enough for two people. The fresh squeezed orange juice which is found at most restaurants , I come to find out that very few actually will deliver them. Instead of having the national dish I got a bean soup black bean soup that is quite tasty though I needed to do doctored it up at having a little bit of kept hot sauce. I also had a pastel which is quite common having cheese but this one had cheese and onions very tasty. Along with the meal they serve small chunks of fried pork belly or bacon as we would call it but the pork belly was cut up and fried in about half inch cube squares. FYI..... be aware that any delivery no matter what the distance they say it will be about one hour before you actually get it. But most food will arrive at a hot reasonable temperature. When you come up with ice cream gelato or other cold things then you're just taking a chance on it being melted upon the arrival..On Uber you are able to track and know the driver, plus car- license plate , motor bike or bicycle definitely a good place to check in taste of food

This location in Copacabana is a block in from the beach. The open air atmosphere made for a great spot to relax and cool off after some time on the beach or sightseeing.

This place is OK. It's on the Lagoa, so you're not going to find a lot of tourists here, or people…read morewalking in from the beach. I went on a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty crowded. They had fans running to circulate the air, but it still got pretty warm. Food is decent, but nothing I'd go back for. The portion sizes are very large, I ordered the steak with asparagus. It was probably around 16 ounces, and the asparagus was the giant white type. The steak didn't have much flavor, and although it was cooked right, it seemed like a low-quality cut of meat. I'm pretty sure the asparagus was either canned or jarred, because it came apart when I cut it and tasted pickled. The service was extremely slow, and then the waiter told us some story about his dog when we didn't eat all of our food. Very strange.

I read about this place from other yelpers but never had a chance to venture out this way. Jardim…read moreBotânico neighborhood seems to have some very hip restaurants and bars that I would like to explore aside from the few Michelin rated ones we've tried. I love the atmosphere of this place, high on the second floor, after ascending a bright red welcoming staircase, it opens to a rooftop terrace with clear roofing in case it rains. The view is awesome and on clear day you can apparently see Cristo. The ceiling or open air above is strung with soft outdoor bulbs and the whole place seems like another world. We saw plenty of romantic couples and also large groups of friends, so it's accommodating to both types. The drinks were fantastic, made with good creativity. I tried a whiskey based drink with strawberry and lime and it was easy to drink but packed a lot of punch. The Pisco sour was also made with a delicate egg white foamed on the top, though not as good as the ones in Peru or Chile. The honey jack had just a touch of truffle oil which made it sweet and savory. The burger with Gorgonzola was quite good as well, and came with a side of crispy potato wedges. The teriyaki seared salmon was beautifully presented on a slate and had dollops of a creamy wasabi that paired fantastically with the sweet teriyaki. Lastly I tried the cheesecake which I was surprised to find deconstructed. It came on a plate as a melted mound of cheese cake mush with a strip of strawberry jelly and topped with a sprinkle of graham cracker crust. The flavor was quite good but I would have preferred a more solid cheesecake with a lot more crust. Overall, the food was fairly good, the atmosphere was dynamic and the sky was perfect. Good for a night out with friends or on a date. Just plan it for a non-rainy day!

It kind of feels like you are outside since there is just a transparent tent over the top. I think during the summer, they take the tent down so you actually are inside/outside. You can see the Christ through the little cutouts in the wall. They've got cute hanging lights and it is very colorful and bright. The service was also really great. They were very patient with my group of gringos who asked for many substitutions and other funny things that Americans do, haha. I ordered the salmon with wasabi mayo and pineapple teriyaki with ginger chips. The price was very fair at about R$26. I wasn't very hungry so that was enough. If you are hungry, you will need more food. I also got a whiskey sour, which was good! The only difficult part was that each person had to remember what they ordered and they tallied it up in the end. It would have been easier if each person could have gotten a number.

You know the place is legit when there was at least a 40 minute wait for duck off. While waiting we enjoyed some amazing garlic bread (must order), fries and chicken wings. This location in Lapas is not about beauty, it's all about the food. I will definitely return to this restaurant upon returning to Brazil.
