All in all, great food and reasonable price in a very expensive neighborhood.

The wait time was very short -- only about five minutes -- but it was a Wednesday and not a holiday, so I imagine weekends can get much busier. I'd definitely recommend arriving early or making a reservation if you plan to visit on a Saturday or Sunday. The food was excellent. We ordered the Pesto e Burrata, which was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. We also tried the Picadinho Tapajós, and it was one of the highlights: the beans were perfectly cooked, the farofa mix was amazing, and it came with a beautifully prepared egg and fried banana. Such a comforting and authentic Brazilian combination that I'm sure everyone will enjoy. For drinks, the strawberry caipirinha was spot on -- refreshing and perfectly balanced in sweetness. The passion fruit caipirinha also tasted great, although it could have had just a touch more sugar. We also tried the Limoncello Spritz, which wasn't really our favorite, but it may appeal to a different taste. The real star of this place is the view. It's absolutely impeccable -- honestly, there are very few places in Rio (or even in the world) with a setting this beautiful. Having lunch with a direct view of Sugarloaf Mountain feels priceless. Prices were a bit above average, but considering the location, atmosphere, and unforgettable scenery, it was 100% worth it. Highly recommend!

Learned that they do delivery too. I saw the boys get on bikes to make deliveries. Kind of amazing since traffic is so scary there :O Tried the cacau, and it was creamy, sweet, sour, and unexpected. I still don't know if I like it, but I definitely killed my curiosity. My mom loved this. Pudim de leite was quite good with a small cafezinho. Also got pizza to go. They made it for us fresh, packed in aluminum and threw in several packets of ketchup, mayo, and mustard. Despite being fresh and all, I wasn't big on the flavor.

I visited Balada Burger late at night and had an less than stellar experience. After we sat down,…read moreit took over five minutes to see a server, and we ended up having to flag him down to order. It looked like he was busy with takeout orders and appeared to be working alone. I ordered the Brooklyn burger, which comes with a fried egg and bacon on a brioche bun. I skipped the egg, but the burger itself was solid and the fries were good. If you're used to American-style seasoning, you might find the fries a little light on salt and want to add some or use ketchup. While we waited, we eventually were the only customers left and the staff started cleaning up around us, spraying and wiping tables, moving chairs from outside, and even mopping nearby. It's a pretty small space, so it felt a bit awkward trying to finish our meal with all that going on. We ended up asking for our food to go and finished it back at the hotel. On the way out, we noticed some of the staff at another nearby spot, so it seems like they might be splitting time between places, which could explain the slower service. Overall, the food was good, but the service and timing could use some improvement, especially for tourists.

They took it back and brought out the same one (still had a bite mark in it) after a couple of more minutes. The outside was cooked but the inside was still extremely raw. Do not go here.

It's a beautiful store/restaurant that specializes in Portuguese wines and foods. The interior is modern and classy, and the service was hands down the best we experienced in all of Rio. I ordered the Portuguese-style Filet Mignon, while my partner went with the seafood skewers. We also shared a bottle of red wine. Everything was absolutely excellent. The filet came with a rich Portuguese-style sauce or gravy and a side of house-made fries--such a great combination. This place was a perfect way to end our trip, and I highly recommend visiting this wonderful spot if you're in Ipanema!

I received three pieces of fried chicken two wings and a chicken breast and the rest of dried out chicken tenders. The chicken tenders were just plain nasty just over cooked and just too dry the same you could almost say about the wings and the other chicken breast.... Instead of getting my mashed potatoes I received a half filled container of undercooked french fries. The only decent thing on my order was Kentucky fried chicken original coleslaw it was a little bit on the west side but it did taste like the coleslaw you would find in the United States. I would've been happier if they had taken the time and just cook what I requested or not put in my order stating that they did not have it.... Never again at this place....
