We got a plate with 5 different cuts of meat and my husband and I shared it along with some beans and au gratin potatoes. Meat was tender and flavorful. The potatoes were a bit bland, but that's likely because I am used to the boxed version full of preservatives and artificial flavors. The service was great! They also had a very nice wine list. I don't remember the price, but I do remember thinking I couldn't get this type of meal, wine and service in the US for that.

I am american and don't speak Portuguese so I was a bit worried because I was on my own. but the menu had both Portuguese and English and as soon as I told the waiter I didn't speak the language he immediately called over the maitre d' who took over. the experience, from start to finish, was fantastic. well one kinda funny thing, I ordered a martini and he said they weren't sure how to make it but would try. he brought a martini glass full of sweet vermouth and a side shot of vodka. but I drank it without complaining. he was so insistent in asking if they made it correctly that I finally told him the proper mix but not to worry. but he brought another one, gratis. this was very nice, but don't people in Brazil drink martinis? anyway, on to the food with the bread they brought out a large plate of condiments, marinated garlic cloves, some grilled eggplant, salsa and a creamy blue cheese spread that was addicting. I had a salad and ribeye steak with potatoes and grilled vegetables. the steak was out of this world. perfectly cooked and HUGE. I couldn't finish it (probably because I had so much of the bread and blue cheese spread haha). I highly recommend the Flan for dessert. I took it on the waiter's suggestion and it was the best I've ever had. I guess it was a little expensive, I had salad, one of the most expensive steaks, al la carte veggies, dessert, the martini and 1/2 bottle of wine and it was more than $100 with service included. but you could certainly cut out the drinks and dessert, share the vegetables and have a reasonable dinner. this was my first Argentinian restaurant so I don't have a benchmark, but I will definitely come back to this place, especially if I'm staying close by. they have entertainment on Friday nights but I don't know how it is

Gorgeous restaurant! You wouldn't expect the stunning and breathtaking views from the exterior but…read moreonce inside, I couldn't help but marvel at the huge tree, wood beams, beautiful decor, immense wine cooler and liquor wall. I fully appreciated the blanket and heaters that were brought over as it was a chilly evening, yet we were still "indoors" but not. Service was impeccable, with every member of the staff ensuring our experience was top notch and food met our expectations. I chose the slowly roasted beef ribs rice and was not expecting savory goodness that arrived! The beef ribs melted in my mouth and the rice was so incredibly flavorful - I would order this over and over again! Of all the restaurants I've been to, Figueira Rubaiyat has by far the one of the most extensive wine list I've seen, featuring many different wines from around the world, including Brazil of course! There is also a gift shop that should not be missed because of the very unique items that are found here - and a place I'll need to visit next time I'm in the area again! The entire experience is one that should not be missed. Every detail and every bite was absolute perfection!

I was literally still dreaming about it the next day; the food was really that good. Another standout dish was the braised short rib with sticky rice, a Brazilian specialty that was mouthwateringly delicious, with the beef and rice combo melting in your mouth. The toppings and sides were excellent as well. This was at an upscale restaurant, and the bill came out to half of what we would normally pay in the states. Food like this would cost at least two to three hundred dollars in California! For the price we are paying and the quality we are receiving, this is absolutely outrageous. I'd really like to see São Paulo's state government clean up its act and do more for the city, because there's no reason it shouldn't be a top tourist destination. I'm not much of a foodie, so it's nice having friends who are. You can just trust their recommendations and go along for the ride!!
