It's an AYCE buffet with churrascaria and the set price is R$268 (~$50 USD) plus 13% service charge. It includes the salad bar with vegetables, salads, soup, seafood, sushi, and churrascaria (meat, seafood, sides). The best options for the churrascaria were the ribeye steak, salmon with passion fruit sauce, and the lamb. I did appreciate that if you request a churrascaria item, they do bring it to you. You can also request sauces as well, the chimichurri sauce was good. I think the buffet was good value since you get a large selection of food and the quality was pretty good.

The servers were…read morevery nice and attentive -- they truly make you feel welcome and well taken care of throughout the meal. The service was definitely the highlight of the visit. That said, while the food and atmosphere were enjoyable, in my opinion you can find better deals elsewhere in Rio for a similar dining experience. It's a good spot if you're looking for friendly service and a comfortable setting, but if value for money is your priority, it might be worth exploring other options as well.

Came here while vacationing in Brazil. Through my research, this restaurant came up as the place…read moreto eat in Rio. And I see why!!! Came here with reservations and was immediately taken back by the bright colors and decor. We were immediately greeted and seated by hostess. Once walking in, you are IMMEDIATELY mesmerized by the elaborate and yes, over the top decorations in this restaurant. I mean a full car just on the side of a wall, ships every where, many Louis Vuitton bags hanging from the ceiling. IT was the MOST unique restaurants Ive ever been in and I was in an underwater restaurant in Dubai. The ladies bathroom is covered with coffee beans on the floor with a very big and unique Lips on the wall Service - 100 out 10!!! I hardly ever touched my plate. As I ventured out to the buffet, the second I was heading to my table, a server took my plate and walked it to my table for me, all while pulling out my seat. I noticed that each table had a different flag on it and realized that the server took note of where each patron was from and placed a flag on their table so servers can know what language they speak. My bag was zipped tied to my chair seconds after i sat down. Food - Food was in abundance of everything!! Lobsters, filet mignon, calamari, mussels...EVERYTHING! Food was pretty good. Very unique restaurant, A+ service. If in Rio, TRY IT!

We went to Bar Urca for dinner on our third night in Rio. The main reason we chose this restaurant…read morewas because we read that they serve Camarão na Moranga--shrimp stuffed in a pumpkin. My girlfriend had been talking about this dish for years, ever since she first tried it during a trip to Rio nine years ago. Based on online reviews, Bar Urca seemed like the perfect spot to find it. The restaurant is located in Urca, a quiet, peaceful neighborhood with a charming vibe. The space itself is small, and the dining area is upstairs with a lovely view. The staff was super friendly and helpful--probably tied for the best service we had during the whole trip. As for the Camarão na Moranga--it was absolutely delicious and did not disappoint! The portion was huge--way too much food for just the two of us. Honestly, this dish could easily serve 3 to 4 people. We left completely stuffed. If you're ever in Rio, definitely give this place a try--and if you love shrimp, this dish is a must!

It is VERY popular and I'm sure being recommended by Bourdain has a lot to do with it. The first time we tried to eat there the wait was over an hour long. We went sometime after 1AM and there was still a decent wait, maybe close to 30 minutes. The place is pretty small and cramped, but that gives it some charm. Somehow that makes the food taste even better. We ordered a little bit of everything and it was all amazing. Chicken, steak, fries, garlic bread, polenta. It was all cooked and seasoned to perfection. Everything we ordered was delicious Service was fair and prices are reasonable. Do yourself a favor and visit Galeto Sat's!

Anthony Bourdain has dined here for one of his shows. That along with a few food blogs from the…read moreStates and Brazil recommending it means it was on my list of places to eat at. It's a solid restaurant that serves up pretty good chicken. In fact I ate here twice in a week, the first time to try it out and the second time because it was late at night and they are open until 5AM. Both times I was here it was timed right and I didn't have to wait for a table. The employees were accommodating to a tourist like myself who has a limited Portuguese vocabulary. They also have English language menus although I do like to navigate a menu in another language just to see what I can recognize. Both times I had the chicken with the garlic and pepper sauce as well as pão de alho. The chicken was perfect, juicy and very flavorful. And plenty of garlic. The garlic bread was delicious and had plenty of garlic. I love garlic so it was great for me but I can see some people saying it may be too much garlic. Batatas fritas were good as well. There was more I wanted to try but I will definitely be back the next time I am in Rio de Janeiro. This place has been around for decades so it should still be around on my next visit.

Fogo has its service down to a science and seating as well as waiter service is pretty seamless. I was surprised that attentiveness to refilling water and anything other than meat was not up to the standard that I have experienced at other Brazilian steakhouses. The meat itself was plentiful, however, more inconsistent than I would have liked. One serving of Filet Mignon was delicious, flavorful and perfectly cooked, while the next was surprisingly overly cooked (to the point of not being tasty or even chewable). Salad bar is impressive and offerings were fresh and varied. I would have liked a few more protein options in the salad bar (such as fish or shrimp). Overall, a beautiful restaurant - but consistency of food could be improved.

Personally I skipped the sushi, as the fish looked a little darker than expected. But maybe that's the colour of raw salmon in Brazil. Cocktails were very good, though they did come with quite a bit of ice.
