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.

The options of meat include, but are not limited to: -ribeye -chicken thighs -chick hearts -lamb -beef shoulder They also have a host of starchy Brazilian side dishes and salads. Luckily they have an iPad that has an English menu. Overall the meat was very flavorful, of course I went for all the ribeye I could eat. They have 3 meat temperature , rare, medium, done. The medium was more medium rare for us on the Northern Plain. The dessert was also delicious. I would definitely recommend and go back. Some of the waiters spoke english, but not many.

The marbling was good and the seasoning was excellent. We had crispy shrimp (fried shrimp) as an app and they were good as well. There was a language barrier, but our server did an excellent job - he was attentive and helpful. One of our group sent her steak back for additional cooking and he asked if she wanted it sliced to cook all the way through and she agreed. When they came back her steak was sliced and cooking on a cast iron skillet - impressive. The atmosphere was loud - open room with time floors and open windows, allowing outside highway noise in. This also meant no air conditioning. UGH! Wine selection was good, drink menu was good. Will definitely go back.

With over 20 plus cuts of meats, an incredible salad bar with fresh fruit, veggies, and mediterranean offerings, it's still only just beginning! Ask for rice (they have a couple different kinds), beans, fried onions, potatoes, and other side dishes that they will being to you. The fried onions were SO good too. I loved the tenderloin and the tri-tip but again, order lots of things and find out what you love. You put your circular card on the green side when you want to be asked to try various meats on skewers, or you can out it on the red side when you need a break or you're done. They have plenty of drinks like the fresh limeade which are not included in the price of the meal and their desserts are quite impressive too. But if you want to eat dessert like a local, ask for the grilled bananas and a side of ice cream and some cinnamon. My oh my. And be careful. They will not stop sending bananas unless you finally put up the white flag. They have locations plenty in the US and other parts but they dont hold a candle to the ones in Rio. There is one in Barra with a great view of the lagoon and another in Botafogo with a marvelous view of the bay and Sugar Loaf!!!

I came here on a quiet Thursday. Unfortunate at 6:30 not many people in the restaurant. The…read morerestaurant was clean and the furniture was clean. I decided to go for the buffet. Compared to the states they had different items at the bar that we usually see at fogo in the states. For one they have one or 2 extra types of smoked fish. They had different fruit offerings like dragon fruit kiwi and grapes. Didn't get the prosciutto since it did have a few fruit flies on it. There were different offerings of meat compared to the states. The beef rib is definitely better than Houston's. The best was probably the prime rib or ribeye steak. The cheese balls were definitely different they are fried. The service was very attentive even for English speakers. The picanha steak could be better. Overall excellent. The dessert was delicious.

With excellent prices, fast service, many delicious options to choose from (including some healthy ones), this place is great. Expect to find juices, salads, oven-baked savory treats, and sandwiches. They are very well known for their açaí. What I love about their açaí is that the price is excellent and it includes fruit and granola (in some places you have to pay extra for that). It's definitely a must try. I also quite enjoy their "sanduíche montado", which was my school lunch many times, and their croissants.

Don't let the simplicity of the setting fool you: you are about to eat a feast worthy of Poseidon himself. They have a platter you can order that will literally take up the entire table. It comes as a huge cast-iron griddle that is simply overflowing with lobsters, shrimp, salmon, various white fish, octopus, squid, mussels... Basically everything delicious you could imagine. The platter fed eight of is perfectly, and came in (including drinks) at about R$60 each. Not bad! The restaurant may be a bit hard to find. It's along the side of the big fish market.

The filet mignon was seasoned in butter and other stuff so it wasnt my favorite. There no menu here so it's basically all you can eat steak and what they have at the salad bar. The salad bar had pork, cod and other options as well. I got th sea bass and thought it was delicious. I saw the waiter walk around with some sausage I think but he didn't come to my table. The owner of the place or manager used a translator app to ask me questions from Portuguese to English. The price is very reasonable here and the service is top notch. The only issue I had was flagging down someone to get the check since it took a while for the manager or owner to come. Their machine will show you the R price and the price in US dollars.
