    The Romeo and Juliet
    Monique L.

    I'm an American foodie so that doesn't speak volumes at all lol but the food we had tasted out of this world. I had my birthday dinner here and it was AMAZING!! I had short rib with creamy mash potatoes and my friend had salmon with regular potatoes. Our waiter Bruno was handsome, spoke English and gave beyond great service. This place is so nice and is actually pretty big as they have downstairs too. It seems more like fine dining. EVERYTHING was SPECTACULAR and I had the best Birthday meal a girl could ask for!!!!

    Best meal I had in this city, and there's a lot of good food in town! The steak was the winner along with the house rice. Great wine selection, ambiance and service. Highly recommend!

    Food was great. Prices aren't too bad if you're comparing to US prices. They do have a cover charge per person though on top of service fees. They also charge you for to-go containers, which I've never experienced before.

    It's the best pure steakhouse we've had in Rio. Simple, high quality cuts cooked perfectly. It was expensive for the area and the reason for taking a star away. While I understand a cover charge, R$25 a person was excessive for the area.

    The complimentary staters were delicious and generous. Bread, veggies and delicious dipping sauces.

    This place is pretty inside with good food and reasonably priced compared to similar restaurants in the U.S. We came here for our last dinner on our two week South America trip since the staff at our hotel recommended it and we were not disappointed! The complimentary starters consisted of various cheese, olive oil and flavorful veggie dips served with bread crackers, bread buns and a generous amount of carrots and cucumbers. It was quite the spread! The hot pot appetizers are tasty but extremely filling even though the portions are small. Sharing one is enough for two people if you're ordering an entrée that also comes with a side. By the time my grouper entrée and side of polenta arrived I was stuffed from the starters and hot pot already. We were originally going to share one hot pot but the only reason we ordered two was because our waiter was pushy about ordering one per person and somehow convinced us to. This is my only complaint about this place. Ideally I would have gotten one of the steaks. I sampled some from my boyfriend since he said it was one of the best steaks he's had at a restaurant. And I definitely have to agree with him on this one! Overall, the food is delicious, the service is attentive, and the menu is in English and they have English speaking staff. This is quite helpful if you don't speak Portuguese! If I'm ever back in Rio I would definitely try to eat here again.

    Tender and tasty!

    My first time in Rio and I wanted a good meal including steak!! Also wanted to try a traditional caipirinha! Was not disappointed, the atmosphere was casual but stylish. Really nice decor and the bar was fully stocked. Even though I speak no Portuguese whatsoever, the staff were extremely friendly and went out of their way to welcome me! The caipirinha was amazing and the steak was cooked perfectly as you can see below. No need for fancy sauces or seasoning,, this meat stands on its own and the Giuseppe potatoes were the perfect compliment. Also dessert was amazing with an egg and ice cream mixed treat!

    High-end steakhouse with a classy atmosphere but still open and casual. We had an early dinner at Giuseppe Grill Leblon, and we had a great time! The pork sausage starter was really good, same for the Porterhouse Steak we shared. Highly recommended!

This Brazilian restaurant was recommended in my guidebook for its buffet so we decided to give things a try. Upon walking in, I was impressed with the aesthetics of this restaurant. It's a large restaurant with nice, wooden booths and the decor is similarly impressive. The World Cup was going on while we were there and they had the game playing on a projector. Now let's get to the good stuff. This is a large buffet with a ton of options. We're talking all different types of meats, sides, appetizers, desserts . . . I would guess that there were at least 100 items to choose from. For someone who loves variety, I was in heaven. With the variety, the quality was there too. One of my favorites was the churrascaria-style meats that are carved in front of you at the buffet. To wash it all down, I ordered two fresh juices. This is truly a feast and one of my favorite dining experiences I had in Brazil.

    Buffets are super popular in Brazil. We came to this one in Ipanema for lunch. Given Rio's…read moreperpetual sunniness this is probably not a place I'd choose again for a daytime meal given how dark the interior was. Food-wise there was a lot of selection ranging from rice and beans to many types of meat, salads and sushi. You can pay by weight or choose the all you can eat option for a flat rate.

No smile, no friendly greeting - instead a face that said "did you walk into the right place?". As I asked the host & server about the menu, they somewhat ignored my questions and brushed me off with their chins high to the sky. As if I couldn't afford the place and I was wasting their time or they didn't want my business. Let me state, I was dressed somewhat casual in shorts, t-shirt and sneakers, but heck - I was on vacation in Rio alone! Luckily the meal I had to follow made up for the snotty staff I had encountered. I asked the server for his recommendation on the house's most popular steak... I went with the Picanha Bordon per his recommendation and few sides. The sides were good, but not worth the price. $R 48 for grilled heart of palm? Again, tasty but that's a bit steep. The steak on the other hand is a top 3 contender for the best steak I've ever had in my life. And that's a statement coming from a carnivore who eats steak several times a week and has dined at many supreme steak houses around the Americas. The steak was so good that my mouth is watering as I write this review. The entree was $R 139 and worth every penny. After a few great caipirinhas, salad, an entree, sides and gratuity my bill came to around $R 300. Pricey, but that steak... so worth it!

While in Brazil, you learn quickly that the locals love steak and I love steak so figured this would be a fun trip. We decided to come to Carretao which is a rodizio style Brazilian restaurant. Once seated inside the weight staff try the very best to explain to us how everything works. You're given a disc which is right on one side and green on the other side as long as the green side is showing the staff will continuously bring different cuts of delicious meats to your table and slice you off some samples. There was an open salad bar, which was loaded with fresh salads and little appetizers, but the main attraction was the never ending Daisy chain of meats. I was in heaven, and I enjoyed every moment of it. My only complaint about this restaurant was that I definitely bought my appetite and after sometime, I noticed that the staff stopped coming to the table with the prime cuts of meat, but would only come with the less desirable cuts this didn't bother me too much because I definitely ate more than my fair share lol. I would absolutely come here again. The price was amazing. The staff was friendly and at the end of dinner we got some delicious dessert shots, which were quite a treat.
