    Bacon eggs and waffles
    Ikenna A.

    There was a bit of a wait so I was expecting good food. And good food is what O got. The chicken was well seasoned and the waffles were the perfect sweetness. The eggs were super fluffy and buttery. It was totally worth the 20 minute wait.

    It's a cute American style spot hence the gringo name. The waffles were fresh and a lot of the items are made to order which is really nice. The fruits are very fresh along with the waffles which were really good! Simple and cute.

    Beautiful Brazil! Cute cozy quaint little cafe on a cobblestone street! Bursting with flavor and vibrant colors! Can't wait to taste the food

    Country Style Breakfast
    Zayda M.

    Went to Gringo Cafe to eat some American breakfast as I was feeling homesick. The waffles were so crispy and fluffy. The bacon was cooked to perfection. Only thing was that the hash browns could have been a little bit more cooked and brown. Service was very friendly, although at the end it was very hard to flag down our waiter to pay. Still loved the overall atmosphere of the place. Would choose Gringo Cafe over iHOP.

    Breakfast

    Excellent breakfast and atmosphere for gringos. If you can make it here and looking for a more US style type breakfast this is your spot.

    Mojito was amazing
    Teryl R.

    Stumble across this gem! My boyfriend got the chicken and waffles with a side of eggs with a mojito, and I order the country side with a margarita. Both dishes were excellent. Great customer service from our waiter. Also a bilingual location for locals and tourist. Would definitely recommend and come back

    Eggs Benedict with bacon

    Tried this place because the name sounded too good to pass up. Despite the name - it was actually a great breakfast. Lots of egg and omelet options. Really friendly staff, they even offered to give us suggestions of places to go visit. I recommend it if you want some good gringo breakfast in rio

    Mac and Cheese.
    Camille M.

    Went here once for dinner and once for brunch. This was highly recommended from TripAdvisor - so we decided to check it out! They have indoor and outdoor seating - fully equipped with a big fan mister. Love their decor & atmosphere - reminded me of home. For dinner - they weren't busy at all so we were seated immediately. We went right after the sunset at Ipanema. Our waiter spoke English so communication wasn't an issue. I ordered the Mac N Cheese - I was super excited because it's Mac N Cheese! I was super disappointed though. It was super bland -_- If they added more shredded Parmesan - it would be better for the flavor. I was really sad about it, actually. Sooo - I decided to not do a review until I gave it another try. For brunch - they were busy and they put our name on a whiteboard but only told us 5 mins until we would be seated - legit. I ordered a Iced Mocha - which was pretty sweet and yummy. For Brunch, I ordered the Eggs Benedict (Vegetariano) which was a remix with Cheddar Cheese. It came with the Eggs Benedict and that's it. Perfect for me but there was no sides - FYI. I finished it & it was so delicious! If you pay with a card - they bring the machine to your table and process the transaction. Their employees are super friendly & always had a smile on their face. I say, give them a try!

    Turkey burger

    Gringo Café was a pleasant surprise to an afternoon lunch. We showed up just before noon and the American diner was already in full action. All the indoor/outdoor tables were taken and guests were enjoying their share of waffles and pancakes and omelets - not to mention flutes of mimosas. Brazilians and tourists alike seem to flock to this cafe and on weekends, it's not odd to end up on the waiting list. For brunch or lunch, it's spot on and the service is impressive. I even think the staff speaks English, which is generally rare. Whether you're looking for a turkey burger (which I had and loved), a Cesar salad, vegetarian chili (another great pick), hash browns, biscuits and other beloved American staples, you can count on Gringo Café to satisfy your cravings.

    Pros: big patty, fresh, someone speaks English Cons: Disappointing, over-salted, soggy…read more Let me explain. This place has a reputation of being the best burger in Brazil because of some associated chef's legacy and three different meats put into their signature patty. It didn't feel that gourmet to me, just a typical pub burger. I made my own burger medium with the signature patty, lettuce, tomato, Brazilian cheese, and pickles on a sweet potato bun. As well as fries. The burger came to me wrapped up in a bag with my fries; I was perplexed to find the bun already soggy, as I ate it in the restaurant a minute after they made it. The toppings were fine, nothing special except the cheese, but the burger was definitely rare and very over-seasoned. I'm not sure if this is a Brazilian thing, the under-doneness, but eating raw meat in a country you aren't from isn't the best idea. However, the fries were done properly-hard to mess those up. The tables had a couple of sauces; a ketchup that tasted like bbq sauce and a sweet chili sauce. Very random. Would I come here again? Most likely not. The price of the burger is a bit high and it just wasn't that memorable.

    We heard this was The burger place to go for quality burgers in Rio, but we found that was not…read moretrue. It was a bit pricier than most other places we ate during our stay and the burger was very underwhelming. It was a bit bland and the cheese and condiments they had didn't do much to help with the flavor. Not a place to go if you're on a budget, there are better places to dine while in Rio.
