    Great service. Was crowded at prime time 5pm-9pm. We walked by to check it out, then came back once…read morewe freshened up. The Brochete Miso was great! Also broccoli rice was delicious. This place is on trip advisor as a must stop. My party all agreed! Thanks Brazil !

    I walked over here from my hotel just to try the moqueca…read more I was seated near the back of the restaurant and the staff was really selling their more expensive dishes. When I asked how big the moqueca was he used his fingers to say it was a small dish. Of course that was untrue as the dishes delivered was more than 2x what he showed and came with a bunch of sides like a gravy, rice and something else. No explanation given of what they were as he just served everything to me. Given all that I read about moqueca I had high expectations about the dish. However the fish was over cooked and very dry eventhough it was covered in a sauce. The shrimps were better and overall it was a very filling plate. The overcooked fish was a letdown for me. I had a lot of leftovers and asked it to be packed up to go (which I was charged R12 extra for). I struck up a Google Translate conversation with a nurse seated next to me so that was a different way to pass the time as solo diners. I ended up giving my to go bag to share with her family since my hotel had no kitchen facilities. Tab was settled at the table with little explanation of the charges. 10% service charge was added automatically. Overall a very expensive dinner for an average tasting meal at best. I won't be coming back.

    If you are a foreigner or tourist, I recommend you go to Gaja d'Oro instead…read more Much better food, better service, similar Portuguese high end menu and in a far superior location. Rancho Portuguese is directly across from a well lit gas station on a double lane highway. I used to come to Rancho Portuguese often. Been more than 10 times. But sadly one day I realized they prefer Brazilian clientele and hate serving foreigners or gringos. You experience these sort of ignorant Cariocas here and there when you spend a lot of time in Rio. So after waiting over an hour for food and watching my glass sit empty for 20 minutes while also observing him attentively serve every Brazilian, seeing their food arrive, etc....I asked to cancel my order. Instead of apologizing or even making an attempt to fix the problem, his cocky response was to smile broadly, give me a sarcastic thumbs up, insult me ​​in Portuguese while thinking I don't understand him, and mockingly wave at me as I walked out of the restaurant. So now I go to Gaja D'Oro. It is in a beautiful building by the beach, offers much better service, a similar high end Portuguese menu, and I have never been offended to my face after being a loyal customer who spent more than 500 reals per person every time I went.

    I'm on a business trip, and wanted a Portuguese dining experience, whooo pearl Sid we get it right,…read moreservice was once in a lifetime experience, as the staff serves and keeps your plates full. The grilled squid with rice was second to none, great selection of bread, and the olives were delicious, be mindful of the pits. Great ambience, and you can sit and relax and enjoy your dining experience. Let me not forget the amazing lemon cake which was soaked in a lemon syrup, not to sweet and just delicious.
