Went with a group of six for a company dinner and had a fantastic meal! It's expensive for Brazil but reasonably priced by US standards. Make sure you make reservations though as the restaurant was full even on a Monday night! We ordered: - Special Appetizer plate (RS $50): assorted appetizers such as roasted eggplant, fish ceviche, garlic shrimp, tomato with mozzarella, etc. Tasty and a large size -- recommended! 4/5 - Cheese Bread (RS $20): cheesy but a bit hard and dense. Sorry but the ones at Fogo de Chao are much better. 2/5 - Shrimp with cream cheese pastry (I think they call it camarones Catupiry on the menu - RS $27 for 4): so light and fluffy! The cream cheese was a unique addition and we really enjoyed these. 4.5/5 - Fish moqueca (RS $219 for 2 people): first time trying this local dish. It was served with a smaller pot of banana moqueca and sides of white rice, farofa, beans, yucca fries and this paste made from mixing farofa with the moqueca sauce. That paste was delicious! The moqueca was good too but not amazing for someone trying it for the first time. 3.5/5 - Beef with milky rice (carne de sol de serta- RS $95): this sounded weird but the server recommended it when we asked for a meat dish for the person in our group who didn't eat shellfish. It's basically shredded beef on top of white rice, with a cheesy sauce baked on top. It tasted a lot better than it sounded and was the favorite dish of a couple of the guests. 4/5 - Fisherman's Platter with Fish and Lobster (RS $321 for 2): large enough to feed 4 if you get another dish. Lobster, calamari, shrimp and fish roasted in a delicious garlic sauce. The seafood was very slightly over cooked but still yummy. 4/5 Cocktails were solid -- I loved my Opera Caipi-- and service was good too. English was enough to understand but not fluent, and very helpful in making reservations. We had a TON of leftovers but were so stuffed at the end. Would not hesitate recommending this for visitors to Vitoria! read more

See all

I heard great things about this restaurant. I was not impressed at all. Ready made food sounds like.

This is the 2nd time i have visited one of these restaurants. This one left me feeling not impressed. The service was less then exceptional. And the food was just ok. This restaurant seemed more apt to over achieving because we are Americans. It really took away for the nice elegant dinner we had hoped for. The food was not nearly as good as the one we visited in São Paulo, and the drinks seemed watered down. I would not attended this specific restaurant again. read more

I went back to this place to try something else. It was my second time here within a week, and this time it was a disaster, very disappointing, unacceptable. It's so weird, how come a place can have such discrepancy in terms of quality in such a short time? We ordered the fillet with funghi, an expensive dish and, supposedly, with prime quality. The waiter warned us the dish would take time to come, but it would be worthwhile. Indeed, it took a while, a long while, much longer than we had been told - about an hour. And when the food finally came, I could not believe it. The meat was overcooked (we had ordered medium) and the rice undercooked. To top it off, the whole meal WAS NOT HOT - what???? - So, it took them an hour to bring our food, and they serve us COLD overcooked steaks? Unacceptable! Then it comes the waiter who, very apologetically, brings in the manager. Manager takes the food away and promises it will not take long, and that the second time everything will be done as it should be. I pointed out ALL the issues, I even asked how come they would be able to bring the meal back in a short time if, according to the waiter, that dish needed time for preparation, but the manager said that they would speed it up and guaranteed that they would make it up to us. Half an hour goes by, and when they bring in the the food, another disappointment, and now with more frustration. This time, the fillet was cooked medium, but the rice and the baked potatoes were both unacceptably COLD - seriously???? We asked for the check. The waiter just apologized for the mishaps, brought us the check in full and even reminded us that the tip had not been added yet - really??? The manager never showed up again. This is bad quality of service and bad customer service, very bad. This kind of experience is unacceptable, especially in a place like that. read more
