It was entirely by chance that I found Canastra, and I'm VERY glad I did! It turned out to be an…read moreentirely delightful venue :-) The wine list is compact, with some exceptionally priced, very nice bottles on it. They even have several good by-the-glass options. Their menu is tapas-style, with a number of small sharing plates; it contains dishes like goats cheese with onion marmalade, marinated octopus, paté de campagne, and burrata of buffalo mozzarella. All the dishes on the menu are accompanied by delicious warm baguette, and the prices are all extremely reasonable ((R$19 - R$25 each). Our server was very friendly and attentive; we left quite satisfied and very full :-) Tip: If you're a fan of oysters, then Tuesday is a great night to come to Canastra! On Tuesdays they have reasonable priced raw oysters that you can order by the half dozen :-)

Gringo trap. Food was mediocre and the proportion was small compared to how much it costed. It's…read moreexpensive here and the meat cuttings weren't that great unfortunately. I ended up spending $300 reals for one item, two small sausages and a few of the little Coxinha. Compare this to something local, I was able to get a bigger portion that was able to feed 4 people with the same price. The service was although decent though, they were able to get to my table quickly. I did show up on a time where it wasn't lively as it was shown on social media so service was fine. Although the atmosphere was great I did like the environment I was in. This restaurant takes advantage of being a corner staple in front of ipanama beach.

This spot quickly became a staple for me while I was in Rio…read more From the moment I walked in, the customer service stood out. The energy, the attentiveness, everything just felt right. And the food? Top tier. My personal favorite was the Truta Grelhada, perfectly cooked and full of flavor every single time. I also have to shout out Fernando, easily one of the coolest, most genuine waiters I've come across. He really made my birthday experience special and went above and beyond to make it memorable. And you honestly can't beat the location...right across from Ipanema Beach, which just adds to the whole vibe. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Rio. Highly recommend checking this place out!

Delirium Café is the beer bar the Río really needs. There are plenty of cocktail bars but this is a…read morefantastic option for wonderful beer. You'll find many imports from Belgium, Germany, and the US along with some Brazilian brews. Don't get too excited before ordering. You'll find they don't have many beers on the menu for whatever reason. It's pretty disappointing but a replacement beer will still be good. The burgers are their main entrée. They're actually very good, and the vegetarian one would be a good choice for anyone! Indoor and outdoor seating is available. Staff doesn't speak much English but does accept credit cards.

Delirium Tremens is on tap, which is good because it's the name sake. I like dark stouts and though they have a few on the menu they don't always stock them. Food is decent and I tried the bacon burger which was filling. It comes with a side of fries. It gets crowded but they've expanded the seating outside which spills out onto the road which is nice for the smokers. The inside is narrow and has only one bathroom for each (male and female). Service was friendly and it's a fun place to hangout at.

It's a shame cause last year at least the service used to still be good, now not only the food has declined in quality but also their customer service. So we spent our money elsewhere.

Another friend ordered their fish and chips, which was not what I expected - big portion of fish fingers and a whole load of wedges being passed off as fries. All in, it was good. Dessert was nothing to shout about though - we shared a brownie and were not at all impressed. They also have a beer menu (font and back page of an A4 sheet) which offers beers in pints and half pints. Tips : do select a more strategically located table, where you know the wait staff can see you, otherwise forgot about being served. Food comes fairly quickly so that was nice. Also, I went on a Saturday at about 7.30-8pm and stayed till about 10.30pm. When I went, it was crowded but I was still able to find a table - the crowd seem to start at about 8.30pm or so. When we left, there were quite a number of people outside waiting for a table.

4 stars here just for the beer. If I were rating just on food, I would give it a 3 because the…read moreburger was average in my opinion. For beers though, they have a great selection, including plenty of stouts and American IPAs/APAs. We came as a big group of Yelpers, so I'll give the wait staff a little credit for trying to take all of our orders and not getting mine exactly right (I'll also take into account my poor Portuguese). On the bright side, they actually fixed our order and didn't charge us, so I can't mark them down for that. There is one big projector screen in the back that would be nice to watch sporting events, but I don't think it would be sufficient for everyone in the restaurant to just watch from that screen. Overall though, if you're in the mood for good beer, check this place out.
