We tried the Mississippi brown ale by Mistura Classica and it was quite tasty, not bitter but smooth, dark in color but light in flavor with a caramel finish. The one of the dishes of the day was herbed rice with pulled duck. It was quite tasty, a bit salty but flavorful. We also tried the steak tartare sandwich which came open- faced on a slice of hearty wheat bread covered in sour cream and piled high with minced meat and a cracked egg. Be forewarned that this is raw meat and a raw egg. However with the freshest ingredients this can be quite tasty. Here, they've done steak tartare right. Yet another reason to be impressed by this small unassuming German restaurant.

I'm glad my misconception was corrected, because Bar do David was 101% worth the trip - it *doesn't* have a view, but we did have one of the best meals of our trip. Our favorite was the ribs with pineapple salsa, which were perfectly charred and fell off the bone. We also had a completely beautiful seafood salad and some croquettes with carne seca, plus a couple very tasty drinks. I can't recommend it enough!

Our server was very patient and tried his best. The food was good, with all at the table enjoyed their meal. The sides were served family style and the portions were large. The restaurant is located on third floor of a popular shopping mall. We sat in the mall area (opposed to inside the restaurant) so the noise level was a little loud, but conversation could easily happen. Will definitely dine here again.

Ordered the Ojo de Bife cut, medium rare, with 2 sides--puff potatoes and rice. Steak was very good, though not the best I've had in Rio. A little pricy for Rio at $63 US (R$ 343) with a soda and tip. They did have a nice jazz duo entertaining us during lunch on a Saturday afternoon which added to the overall pleasant experience.

Too bad there were only two of us, but we're definitely coming back to try more. The dishes we got were all amazing! Everything was so flavorful. I especially loved the octopus vinaigrette and the fish with broccoli rice. Even though we read reviews about how crowded this place could get and how the indoor seating could be uncomfortable because the stools lack backrests, you can tell the food is good just by seeing how many locals come here to have a beer and some tapas. The service was good too. My husband and I don't speak Portuguese, but Google Translate did a great job! We were able to let our server know that I was expecting, so the dishes we ordered had to be fully cooked. He also recommended this hot fish dish with rice which turned out to be my favorite!!
