wonderful cafe and crepe, and the gentlemen were so fun and lively! Outstanding service, and a…read more great find

We've been here multiple times and have loved the food. They used to have a big dessert case taking…read moreup a lot of their inside dining area, but they've reconstructed and now there's more seating inside and plenty well arranged tables on the outside. Today we tried a number of galettes and the risotto. I don't know if it was because I just hiked Vista Chinesa, but it was even more delicious than I remembered. I ordered the first speciality galette on the menu. It had honey, Brie, figs, and ham which was an awesome combination. I devoured it! If you like the honey, Brie and fig combo (often found on bruschetta) this is the galette for you! Amelie has great crepes and a galette is like an open face crepe. It comes with a side salad which is a tightly wrapped lettuce leaf with pesto and mayonnaise dressing drizzled on it. The risotto with filé mignon and mushrooms was also quite delicious. Can't go wrong with either dish. Service was good and food was excellent. Gavea shopping definitely had the best restaurants in the mall

My co-workers and I went to check this place out for lunch. Its a small location, there are…read moreprobably 8-12 tables. Some tables have four chairs to a table - which can seem tight, but then again these crepes are meant to be eaten by hand, so you don't need much space. I can see it getting a bit tight if it gets crowded. We joined two tables together for the three of us. Their prices for their savory treats vary from i think R$13 - R$17 reais. All depended if they were traditional or more elaborate items. I tried one which had canadian bacon, pineapple, cheese, mushrooms (basically i was trying to get a taste of an american Hawaiian pizza here in Brazil). My co-workers ordered a Portuguesa and Pepperoni. They really are not served like a traditional crepe, as they are served in a cone shape. So, they actually look like an open REAL thin crust pizza. All of our 'crepes' were fresh and warm, with a crispy crust. I personally would have liked a bit more cheese but overall it was decent. I cant say they are filling...but i guess that's the reason they have a wide variety of sweet dessert crepes for you to have. We each ordered a dessert option - i went for milk chocolate & strawberries. It wasn't overly sweet, but was messy :) Chocolate oozing. I did feel like mine wasn't as "fresh", as it didn't feel hot off the stove. but there were many people by the time we ordered the dessert options. Dessert ranged from R$12-R$15 i think. Would I go back for lunch there? probably not. cause i know i will get hungry real quick. I'd go there for dessert or if I want a quick snack. Service was decent. Would have preferred if the waitress provided more enthusiastic suggestions when we asked what Crepe we should try..but overall it was quick service. Besides the crepes, they also serve some pasta dishes with mini salads.

I have traveled to many places and have found this place to make a great tuna fish sandwich. You…read moremay ask why I ate a tuna fish here and I'll tell you exactly this, I couldn't read a thing on the menu. Plus, as a pescatarian, you can't go wrong with it. Also, they make amazing fruit juice drinks that are fresh and sold daily. The staff is friendly and help as they can be without knowing very little English. I've been here twice on my stay. I'd come back. Restrooms are tolerable.

This is one of the many corner juice bars that you will find in Rio. This one in particular I liked…read morebecause of the large variety of fresh juices, delicious burgers, and selection of pastries. The service was really fast, so it's perfect for on-the-go meals. You should really try a different fruit juice every time you go to Big Bi! They have many of the local fruits, like the maracuja (relative to passion fruit). On the negative side, burgers do not come with fries. Very few juice bars will have fries for the same price or will offer fries for this price and charge less with no fries. I would walk around and compare. SOME ADVICE (for Big Bi and other juice bars in Rio): [ ] Read the menu that I posted in the pictures BEFORE traveling to Rio. I did not do this and it was frustrating to order and most of the time it was a guess. Pastry names would be ideal. Employees at Big Bi and other juice bars spoke little Spanish or English and knowing what you are ordering before traveling to Rio will make your like and their life a whole lot easier! [ ] Use credit card. Most USA banks have a 3% foreign fee per transaction. So you only loose 3 cents per dollar vs. the average 20 cents that are lost when exchanging money. I used my credit card wherever offered (~50% of businesses accepted Visa) and saved a lot compared to my friends. [ ] Based on the prices at Big Bi, budget how much you will spend on outside food. Keep in mind that corner juice bars are probably the most affordable meals in Rio so this is a minimum. That's it! Hope you like this place as much as we did!
