    Absolutely amazing dining experience. The flavors, service and food are all exceptional. My husband had the 7 course meal and could barely finish. Desserts were so flavorful. I could eat here everyday of vacation. At least I know I'm getting exceptional value for the money.

    This was another dessert they gave me they liked me so much they gave me two desserts that made me feel special

    This restaurant was at the Sheraton where we stayed on the 26 floor absolutely the best food I had while I was in Brazil and the best service by Junior I have the sampler seven course meal

    We came here on our wedding night, and it was absolute perfection! The food was too die for, the wine was scrumptious, and the service was beyond amazing. Plus, we got a custom cake on top of the courses to celebrate our wedding. View was beautiful too. And SO affordable by US standards! If you come to Rio, do not miss eating dinner here!

    To die for!!!

    I can't say enough. I repeat I can not say enough to describe the food, service, ambiance, views..its the combination. So its upscale, but not intimidating. Not trendy, but not stuffy. I'm wearing a descent Jean's and tshirt combo so Brooklynites welcomed. Mariana and Ramon were excellent hosts. Our waiter was amazing (forgot his name pardon). We had the Sea Bass (not too salty) and the Piglet. Portions are medium to small but the presentation and taste truly make up for it. For dessert we had the Opera Pie which I can't describe with any human language. As we left Marianna presented us with a small token of their hospitality, a box of dessert cookies. If you're in Rio you need to stop by, even if you're not staying in the Sheraton hotel (which we are). I actually just finished this meal.

    Wonderful service and amazing food. Everything on the menu is truly delicious. The tasting menu is allot if food! Much larger portions than I've had doing tasting menus in NYC. Everything was delicious.

    Amazing and surprising find atop the Sheraton Grand Rio in Leblon. There are two chefs and menus representing French and Latin American themes. Highly recommend the salad with the egg and the filet. The desserts were to die for. Service was impeccable and the price was right. This place richly deserves the Michelin star that seems to be coming its way.

    Fancy place

    If you are looking for a place to have a great food with good service and a spectacular view this is it. Can't miss it.

    Great neighborhood in ipanema for bars and restaurants. Try this restaurant with Brazilian cuisine…read moreand pasta plates. Great prices and very authentic mix. Huge selection of wines mostly Argentinean/Chilean and European only two braiZilian wines on the. Lower price spectrum but good. We tried the picadilho de Rea. Minced sirloin and grains which was delicious. Also tried the ribs with a tangy BBQ sauce and guava dipping sauce. The petite gateau desert was the best molten chocolate ice cream we've had in a while. Great neighborhood to pre/post drink in area bars.

    A friend enthusiastically told me about Cavist and I decided I must try it…read more FOOD- I tried the executive menu and was very impressed. Three courses for R$44. I ordered-- Entrée- green salad, which had tomato, carrot, hard bolded egg, corn and a tasty, light dressing. Main dish- grilled fish with herbs and butter with broccoli rice. Dessert- chocolate mousse with condensed milk on top. --everything was delicious and I was very satisfied. Here is the kicker, they have a wine cellar! In the back of the restaurant, there are over 2,000 labels with wines from every region. The wine advisor nudged us into ordering a half bottle of a French red wine. Usually fish doesn't go with red wine, but she was right, this paired just fine with my fish (I am not a fan of white wine). It was priced at R$36, but they gave it to us at a discounted rate of R$20. The patio upstairs was not open while I was there for lunch, but I have walked by in the evening and it always seems lively. The ambiance was great. Nice big windows and a good crowd. I definitely recommend this place.

    Probably my favorite restaurant in all of Rio…read more I go to Chez Claude quite a lot, and I have never had a bad or even average experience. The menu is quite varied, but also incredibly consistent. And that is likely because Claude takes care of his staff. The guy who makes the Carbonara has been doing so since I first ate here 5 years ago, whereas other restaurants seem to have a different chef every month, no consistency and are out of business in 12-24 months. Not this place. This place has not one weak dish. Not one weak spot. An excellent restaurant. Provavelmente meu restaurante favorito em todo o Rio. Vou ao Chez Claude com bastante frequência e nunca tive uma experiência ruim, nem mesmo mediana. O cardápio é bem variado, mas também incrivelmente consistente. E isso provavelmente acontece porque o Claude cuida bem da sua equipe. O cara que faz a carbonara está lá desde a primeira vez que comi lá, há 5 anos, enquanto outros restaurantes parecem ter um chef diferente a cada mês, sem nenhuma consistência, e fecham em 12 a 24 meses. Mas não este lugar. Este lugar não tem um prato ruim sequer. Nenhum ponto fraco. Um restaurante excelente.

    This was the best meal I had in Rio. Absolutely exceptional. I had the duck, and it did not…read moredisappoint! Their very cool experience of getting to see the chef cook your meal in front of you really made this dining experience one of a kind. Our service was great and I like the intimacy that the restaurant ambiance had to offer.
