Decent place for lunch in downtown Rio. Stumbled across it while exploring a nearby church. Was quite packed when we walked in. Got roasted chicken, rice and beans along with spicy shrimp ceviche and caprese salad. Chicken was kind of stale but the beans were good. Ceviche and salad were alright, small portion. Drinks were good. Overall Aok experience. read more

This place had potential but it was a little sloppy with a few things. First, the setting is modern, packed tight but good use of space with a open feeling on the second floor with lots of light. The menu is straight forward; only a couple entrees with a collection of sauces and side dishes. They also offer 3 burgers (classic- beef, chicken, or pork). We tried all three. They were average in taste, nothing terribly special about them. The chicken burger is not a chicken fillet, but a chicken sausage put into a patty. The variety of toppings (caramelized onions, melted cheese, lettuce, tomato) all added to a good flavor but made the bun slip off and make it difficult to hold together. The bread was possibly the best tasting, crusted with sesame seeds. The fresh juice, tasted like it was considerably watered down. The beer we ordered was not available and replaced by a more expensive beer. The worst part, and possibly not the fault of our waiter (order was added electronically) was the amount of time our burgers took to come. All ordered at the same time, for the same table; all came 15 minutes or more between each. The first was the chicken. Maybe it was sitting on the counter and accidentally ordered for someone else or was sent back, but it came quickly and hot. The classic burger took a while longer and maybe it was also the order of fries. I was nearly half done with my meal before my friends burger came out. And lastly we were waiting for the pork burger which we had to ask the waiter to check on. I was done with my meal before the last burger came. It shouldn't take half an hour to get a burger at 2pm after lunch rush hour. read more

After a stop at O Museu do Amanha we were hungry and stumbled past this place. From the outside it looks nicer than the average restos around Rio but upon checking the menu it seemed like the average fair. The decor and vibe made us stick around to try it so we just ordered the tapioca deidos w carne seca and caitipury. Adaramos! So we ordered the pasteis w Camarão. They came to the table a bit over fried and then something that never happens in Brazil, for me, occurred: the manager saw the plate and politely asked to take it back and brought us new ones a few minutes later. GREAT service and something we'd love to see more of. We will definitely be back for a bigger meal. Also, they are open on weekends now after a year or so of doing weekdays only. So, we would highly suggest a stop here to coincide with any visit to MAR or MdA or praça maua. read more

Had the hamburgher, which was ok, and fries, which were good, but from the look of other dishes in the restaurant, I think I could've chosen better. The interior is really cool, very urban and hip. And the prices are very reasonable, for Brasil. Probably one of the coolest lunch places in the Centro. Doesn't work on the weekends though. read more

On the up side, great burguers and good decoration, on the down side, tiny restrooms and realky bad really loud live music. The guy wouldn't really turn it down even after we asked. read more

First of all, my boyfriend and I work on a cruise ship and we have been to several ports in Brazil, as well as having been in Rio a few times. This place is expensive for Brazil. The food wasn't bad, but not worth the price. The lady was nice and spoke some English. This isn't a dinner place, though. She told me they had a dinner menu but it's just 3 dishes written on the wall. We didn't have any, just deciding on a few appetizers instead, so I can't review the entrees. The reason I gave it such a low rating was that they charged us a cover charge. There was no warning, nothing that told us we would be charged just for sitting down. That, in addition to having spent what I would normally spend on dinner but only having 2 appetizers and 1 drink, made me pretty upset. It is only 8pm, I might expect it from a bar after 10pm but not a restaurant! Also, we are New Yorkers so I am used to spending more than average on a meal if it is worth it, but this was not! Don't bother, the Florida bar is only a block away and is cheaper and has better food! read more
