The food, the food, the food. I'm still talking about how the meats were how I didn't even have to chew because it was so tender.

Barra Brasa is, in my opinion, the churrascaria in Rio. We started coming here the first month it…read moreopen about 15 years ago. We lived in Brazil for 10 years and made this a regular spot for special occasion dining. Now we live in the US, but when we come back to Rio, we always make sure to come to this restaurant. I've been to a lot of churrascarias areas in Rio, and I haven't found anything as good as this one. First off, they have an amazing Food Bar. Loads of salad options and plenty of hot options as well on the Food Bar. Also, they have sushi, which is prepared fresh by Sushi chefs at the restaurant. And finally, the reason you came, the meat! They have a great assortment of meat varieties, cooked to perfection, all of the highest quality. This is not a place to come if you are on a tight budget. But if you come, you will have a very memorable dining experience.

Service was also very good, attentive and friendly, and the overall atmosphere was lively and pleasant. The buffet had a decent selection, though it was a bit hit or miss. Personally I skipped the sushi, as the fish looked a little darker than expected. But maybe that's the colour of raw salmon in Brazil. Cocktails were very good, though they did come with quite a bit of ice. Parking on the street is very challenging, but you mainly come here on walk, since this area is quite touristy and offers many stores nearby.

My friends and I ended up eating at Carretao after took a nice bike ride from Sao Conrado to…read moreIpanema (highly recommend, btw). So we worked up an appetite and were ready to scarf down some meat. We were seated immediately and the waiter was quick to take our drink orders. I love how casual Rio is; people dining around us were in swim trunks and bikinis. So laid back--great vibes. The meats alone were pretty great, but the salad bar/buffet was a little underwhelming. I tried some sushi but it was not good. The sides that come to the table were also sub-par. I usually find myself munching on way too much bread because of how good it is, but that wasn't the case here. I really liked the steak with cheese and of course the picanha. Carretao is a great place for rodizio and the price isn't too bad. Though if I were back in Rio they wouldn't be my first choice.

We were greeted with a grilled sausage as soon as we sat down prior to ordering. And the service was exceptional. Our beer glasses were never empty and the staff was attentive.

Impressive is the only word to describe the restaurant itself. The building is striking and has a…read moremassive interior that also feels elevated and grand. Fogo has its service down to a science and seating as well as waiter service is pretty seamless. I was surprised that attentiveness to refilling water and anything other than meat was not up to the standard that I have experienced at other Brazilian steakhouses. The meat itself was plentiful, however, more inconsistent than I would have liked. One serving of Filet Mignon was delicious, flavorful and perfectly cooked, while the next was surprisingly overly cooked (to the point of not being tasty or even chewable). Salad bar is impressive and offerings were fresh and varied. I would have liked a few more protein options in the salad bar (such as fish or shrimp). Overall, a beautiful restaurant - but consistency of food could be improved.

The options were vast, the flavor was unlike others that I've tried, and I absolutely liked the other locations. Besides the meats they brought out other rodizio options I've never had before and I genuinely enjoyed it. They also had good bottles of red wines that couldn't be resisted. The tres leches was arguably the best I've ever had. And it all turned out to be relatively inexpensive after the currency conversion.
