I was grateful they gave me alternatives to the red meat courses. Our favorites were the sashimi, Wagyu, and dessert. Everything was delicious, and we left full. Definitely make a reservation.

I've been a fan of the Delirium Café since 2014 and was very excited to see that Delirium Tap House…read moreopened up nearby. The Tap House is very different from the Café in several aspects: - Lots of seating, both inside and out. The patio probably has more seating than all of the Café, and there are lots of tables inside that can be pushed together, as well as a big round table. In short: this place is good for groups. You won't feel cramped. - 20 different beers on tap. Yes! They have what's available listed above the bar on a blackboard and in the menu on a printed sheet. - Food. Unlike the Café, which is mostly Brazilian and hamburgers, the food here is Asian fusion. You can find sushi, sashimi, and a bunch of other creations - but no burgers. We had the Bolinho Tai, and it was very tasty and unique. Next time I want to try the Coxinha de Pato, which I've never seen on a menu before, for that matter I've never even heard of a duck coxinha. - Liquor. They have a wide variety of liquor and specialty cocktails, a huge departure from the Café, which is beer-only. There are some things that are similar, such as the prices - it's still pretty expensive. But worth it in my opinion. The service at the Tap House is also much better than at the Café, which honestly has gotten pretty bad. Bottom line: If you're looking for a place with great beer and unique food or have more than 4 in your party, come here. If you just want a burger and some great beer, head to the Delirium Café

I stopped by Pabu Izakaya with two partners in crime for dinner. We were in the mood for some…read moreJapanese food and Pabu was recommended in my Brazil guidebook. We sat outside on the front patio. After ordering some sake and a Brazilian beer, I went with the chicken kaarage. This classic dish always delivers and it didn't disappoint at Pabu. It was served with a nice dipping sauce. While not a large portion, it was a yummy dish. Service was standard. If you're looking for some Japanese fare in Rio, check out Pabu!
