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.

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!

About 250 feet from the front door of the hotel (go right then right again) is the restaurant. Clean, lots of windows to the street, friendly and attentive service. We ordered the feijoada and two Chopps pilsners. The meal included a green salad that was a cross between romaine and seaweed. Yum. Also rice, corn meal, and fried pork belly. Oh, and a shot of alcohol that was quite similar to the kind of margarita you'd get from someone who adores tequila. Delicious!! With tax and tip, the meal was 108 reals, or about $27...for two.
