    Chicken + Ribeye
    Edward B.

    Excellent local Braserio in Rio De Janeiro. I went with a group of friends on Friday night. The scene was bustling in the business and the surrounding area. We were greeted with a grilled sausage as soon as we sat down prior to ordering. And the service was exceptional. Our beer glasses were never empty and the staff was attentive. We had the ribeye, grilled chicken, broccoli rice and French fries. All were superb! Please visit this local gem if you are Rio!

    I don't think you guys understand how ICONIC this restaurant was. During my recent vacation to Rio de Janeiro, I had the pleasure of dining at This local Restaurant, an authentic Brazilian gem that left an impression on my taste buds. Let me begin by raving about the star of the show - Picanha Steak. The succulent, tender cuts of meat were nothing short of a carnivore's dream come true. Each bite was a burst of flavor, perfectly grilled to perfection and expertly seasoned. The quality of the steak surpassed my expectations, especially considering its incredibly reasonable price. 10/10!!!!!

    Great steakhouse in a nice area in Rio. We ordered the Picanha with the 3 sides and a bottle of wine. The cost was about $85 American which was a good value. The steak was perfectly cooked medium rare with slightly charred edges. The sides were traditional Brazilian sides (potato chips, crazy rice and some type egg/breadcrumbs dish) are were good but the meat was the superstar. I also tried one of the sausages that was brought by on a skewer and that was delicious. Service was good and the restaurant was a nice open air atmosphere.

    What a meal. Came in a group and we all had the same, what's in the picture. Cheese / honey was extra. 2 people should split the steak meal, enough to share. Make rsvp for quicker service. We asked for one of the steak well done but they all came the same.

    The meal was absolutely amazing! The meat was perfectly cooked and the side dishes were very well seasoned! There was plenty of food (definitely enough for 4 people) and we even were able to take home leftovers. The staff was friendly with great recommendations and the food came out very quickly. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating with lots of space.

    I was fortunate enough to have a local take me here, as I am just a tourist that wouldn't know better! We had to wait a good 20 minutes for a table, which was a good sign. Once inside, the service was very good and the food was simply outstanding. The side dishes really made the meal: bananas in a starchy covering, fantastic filet mignon, amazing rice dishes and the introductory sausage link given to everyone before the meal is served was fantastic. Braseiro da Gavea is in the right part of town (trendy, filled with younger folks especially at night) and the food is phenomenal.

    Picanha (Brazilian tri-tip,Portuguese style round crispy fries, white rice with broccoli and yucca flower with eggs and banana).

    I haven been coming to this place for Picanha and chopp (Brazilian craft beer) for 15 years at least. R you in Rio ? You should go there and feel the energy this place has ! Picanha, batata portuguesa, farofa com banana e arroz com brócolis is a classic!!

    Came here with a few friends during the evening to grab a bite and some beer. The beer here is high…read morequality and has a better selection then most of the other places around. I liked the Bianca beer as it was very nice tasting and it wasn't too dark and it was good for just a light beer. We had ordered a few different items the first one was the pork with cheese bites I forget the name of the appetizers and I tried to find them on the menu online but I can't seem to find it the appetizers come in pretty large portions good for 2 to 3 people with a pretty unique flavor in different options to indulge all parties taste buds. What I really appreciate about the place is there attentiveness to always grab another beer or ask us if we need one. When we first walked in we were able to be seated right away even though this place is very packed with people in the other simply amazed we were able to get a spot. This is my second time here and both times have been great I would highly recommend it to the other yelpers. There was just one small issue we had as we came with two people and as the others started arriving we needed a bigger table and was told briefly that we need to wait back in line within a few minutes a bigger table opened up and they gladly moved us over there is the reason for the 4 not the 5 star other than that we were able to enjoy the three hours or so we were there.

    They finally had the dark stout cioccolato barile that won the gold medal for Brazilian beer…read morefestival 2015 in Blumaneu, in stock for me to try. At 12.5% ABV, it's potent but also delicious! The whiskey caskets they seep them in really intensifies the flavor. This has to be my favorite Noi beer, though it only comes in bottle, not on tap. We tried a variety of food as well, such as the bruschetta, chicken strips, salad and chicken sausage. The bruschetta is usually delicious and comes with several pieces which is great for sharing. The frango crocante, is like chicken strips with a sweet mustard sauce, which is also idea for sharing. The arugula salad was topped with a light dressing and sun-dried tomatoes with a fist-size of mozzarella (huge!) and a mound of Parmesan bread- very filling. The chicken sausage was a huge plate with the chicken sausage coiled under a pile of potatoes. It is only for the truly hungry! All the food was great and service was good too. Definitely will be back.
