You will absolutely enjoy going there with a group of friends to enjoy fruity bubbles made of the Brazilian Miolo, which has an accessible yet classy taste. Also, at Zee you are at the right place to celebrate a special, or even romantic, occasion and treat yourselves with, for example, exclusive French or Italian champagnes. It looks like the wine list is compiled with great care so you can easily find a wine or champagne of your liking. Zee offers tasty and exclusive appetizers to accompany your drinks. I can definitely recommend the italian bruschetta, the crusted cheese with pepper jelly or the mini hamburgers. If you have any trouble choosing the right champagne or appetizers, just ask one of the waiters for professional advise on their products!

The food is on the pricier end, and what was ordered for the event, it wasnt that amazing. They have an oyster plate, which i've heard was decent. Yesterday's event, we had their bruschetta, calamari, shrimp and beef with onion and mushroom dish. I cant say that they were the best ive had...but its possibly cause i do feel the food is slightly on the pricier side for the serving sizes. Overall, i do feel the location is ok.

I think if you want some bubbly and somewhere different, sure go for it...but its not a place that is always on the top of my list....

We wanted to go on a food adventure, so we used Trip Advisor to find us a good restaurant in the Rio area. We found Zot and then proceeded to order about seven different dishes to share between four people. (Hey, we wanted to try as much as we can; that's what a true food adventure is!) Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, was cooked and seasoned to perfection. The chef here really knows how to cook meat, whether it's beef, duck, chicken, or fish. You're guaranteed to have a tender melt-in-your-mouth bite every time. And speaking of the chef, he is amazing and super friendly and will make the effort to come out and greet his diners. (He speaks pretty good English, too -- bonus!) Their menu changes every so often, so you may not have the same food if you end up returning. The lesson here is that, no matter what you order, you can't really go wrong. My favorites of the night, though, were the ceviche, tapioca cubes, duck, and Argentinian dessert.

Its a small little place that people go mainly for wine and they do have a variety both in choices as well as price range. Food wise, I love their ceviche and since its appetiser size, this has been somewhat of a standard order. However, its inconsistent. The first time I had it, it was absolute fabulous! The second time, not so much. Ordered it again after that and it was OK... I need to manage my expectations :p Had their food/sampler platters before but there were nothing to shout about. Their gnocchi was OK. Their bolinho with duck was recommended but I did not find it interesting at all. No offence, but I do not think people here do duck very well (except for that one that I had in Ipanema... forgot the name of the restaurant, MUST go back!). Like I said, I have not been back there in a while, but from my previous visits, I do remember that I love their desserts! :-) ice cream/ chocolate cake with pepper :) There were not that many dessert items on their menu, but I remember loving them all... Oh, and there was once that I went and there was a lady signing back up by keyboards :) Wonder if they still do that.....

The restaurant is so well-designed, the perfect balance of classy and sexy. Lots of black, mirrors, and dim lighting, combined with floor-to-ceiling windows and greenery.

I had the caipichamp (a champagne cocktail with pineapple and lemon grass) and LOVED it. We also had the passion fruit caipirinha and lychee caipisake (like a capirinha but made with sake). The food was better than I expected given descriptions of this place as an "Asian lounge" (which tends to make me think of overpriced and uncreative Asian fusion). We had the octopus sashimi, salmon tataki (both were very fresh), scallop sushi, and crab dumplings (enjoyed these - very creative, with a coconut-based filling).

Although this small airport SDU at Bossa Nova mall isn't far from our airport. But it doesn't seem to be walkable. So we took Uber. The view out to the Enseada da Gloria is beautiful, especially at sunset. The restaurant is huge, with many sections. We got there at 6:50, must be too early, the restaurant was empty. We sat near the bar, as the sun went down. The service is good. We've The ox rib and spicy tuna. The big chunk of ox rib is tender but salty.

The rice they used is better than the side, the mushroom rice.

My husband had the fish and plantain moqueca, and the fish was so tender that it just melted in your mouth. Both were delicious! The main difference was that my sauce contained cashews and the cashew flavor was quite strong according to my husband. So if you're allergic to nuts, make sure you ask for an English menu to double-check the ingredients. They also asked if we had any food restrictions when they seated us which was nice. We tried three different mocktails. I forgot the names but one was pineapple & passion fruit, another was coconut, and I forgot what the last one was. They were all good! The chocolate cake with chocolate syrup was delish (10/10). Sweet but not overly sweet and it was so moist, warm, and rich. I just wish I had more room to eat more!!!

The drinks were phenomenal. I had a passion fruit caipirinha, and it was fresh, vibrant, and packed with real fruit -- you could see the seeds and citrus in the glass. It was refreshing but also very strong (Rio does not hold back ). If you appreciate a properly made caipirinha with a serious pour, you'll love it. We also tried another cocktail with a beautiful frothy top that was just as impressive -- both drinks were visually stunning and well balanced. For food, since it was my first meal in Brazil, I kept it simple. I ordered a traditional plate with rice, steak in gravy, crispy potatoes, farofa, and a fried egg on top. The flavors were on the milder side, but the portion was generous and extremely filling. It felt comforting and authentic -- a classic Brazilian plate done in a straightforward way.
