Outdoor seating today though was a definite plus, granted you're on a secondary road behind the main drag on Copacabana beach. We had picanha ao braseiro which is a kidney shaped steak with some fat - no complaints. It was a perfect medium with salt crystals that occasionally explodes in your mouth for that extra flavor. For 162 Brazilian Real(currency) for two people, it's a good deal. It came with diced tomatoe and onions a perfect offset. Happy I came here. Apologies for the pics - wasn't expecting to review the place.

They didn't really speak English but it wasn't difficult to order. We got the steak and chicken. They came with some kind of vinegar infused veggies, rice, powdered stuff, and fries. The guy helping us scooped food onto our plates. It was an odd but interesting experience. Overall we loved the meat here, and the service was also great! Not to mention it was super affordable! Highly recommend this place!

I loved the rock salt they put on the outside of the glass. The salmon tasted fresh and not fishy at all. We sat on the "patio" portion of the restaurant so we could people watch. Service was great and our waitress spoke english so that was helpful. If you are in the Ipanema area, its worth a stop in!

The caldinho de feijão, essentially a cup of black bean "soup", was served with chicharrones and was so flavorful, I could have had a whole bowl of it. The highlight for me was definitely the empada de palmito, like a mini pot pie of palm hearts, it was so creamy, smooth and the pastry melts in your mouth. Of course can't pass on a caipirinha de maracujá (passion fruit), this one was probably the freshest of the whole trip!

If you like a little spice with some of your food, be sure to discard the tobasco sauce and ask for the molho pimenta especial. Be sparing with how much you use, it can get pretty ridiculous. The service was great and the staff was friendly. I don't think they speak much English, descriptive hand gestures and menu props are welcome and likely offensive. I'm stopping here again before I leave. Our meal for two came out to around R$100 for four drinks and feijoada to share. Portion sizes are large.

I was alone and quite hungry. I had no idea what to order so I order feijoada even though the menu said it was for 2 persons. I have no regrets! It was the BEST feijoada I had!!! Every piece of the dish was FRESH, HOT, and very flavorful. The pork and beef was cooked just right. Not too salty or overcooked. The male waiter couldn't speak English but he was so kind to help set my plate even though I knew how to eat it. Everywhere else I had feijoada or rice and beans with beef and farofa was gross in comparison. The restaurant I first had feijoada, the meat (pork/beef) was ultra salty and overcooked. The meal just tasted ok. I ate about 3 rounds and packed the rest as take-away. I like that the waiter packed each pot into a separate box. They did charge for the bigger boxes (2). I ended up splitting the leftover into 2 meals. Therefore I feel the dish would be a lot of 2 people, if they are not big eaters. I think 3 people is just right. I will definitely come back here for just feijoada.
