I walked over here from my hotel just to try the moqueca…read more I was seated near the back of the restaurant and the staff was really selling their more expensive dishes. When I asked how big the moqueca was he used his fingers to say it was a small dish. Of course that was untrue as the dishes delivered was more than 2x what he showed and came with a bunch of sides like a gravy, rice and something else. No explanation given of what they were as he just served everything to me. Given all that I read about moqueca I had high expectations about the dish. However the fish was over cooked and very dry eventhough it was covered in a sauce. The shrimps were better and overall it was a very filling plate. The overcooked fish was a letdown for me. I had a lot of leftovers and asked it to be packed up to go (which I was charged R12 extra for). I struck up a Google Translate conversation with a nurse seated next to me so that was a different way to pass the time as solo diners. I ended up giving my to go bag to share with her family since my hotel had no kitchen facilities. Tab was settled at the table with little explanation of the charges. 10% service charge was added automatically. Overall a very expensive dinner for an average tasting meal at best. I won't be coming back.

Everytime ive been there its been relatively empty (but then again, I went early for Brazilian standards). And the quiet environment was actually very nice. Ive had a risotto dish and also their pasta with shrimp. The pasta was delicious! Freshly made and delicate. There could have been more shrimp on the plate ;) The risotto was a daily special and wasn't bad either. Friends have had their lamb dish and also salmon. All dishes were plated well and made the meal appealing. We've also had the desserts. The chocolate soufflé takes 15 mins, but if you are a chocolate lover, it is GOOD. Hot, and a HUGE bowl (I would say you can share this) except that I personally dont think they serve enough ice cream. its a nice size soufflé, but just one tiny scoop of ice cream. And the richness of that chocolate, I needed more ice cream! The profiteroles are also good. Pastry filled with cream ice cream and a hefty drizzle of chocolate sauce. If you are interested in an italian meal, check this place out. its a hotel restaurant, but food is good, view is great and desserts amazing! :)

If you are a foreigner or tourist, I recommend you go to Gaja d'Oro instead…read more Much better food, better service, similar Portuguese high end menu and in a far superior location. Rancho Portuguese is directly across from a well lit gas station on a double lane highway. I used to come to Rancho Portuguese often. Been more than 10 times. But sadly one day I realized they prefer Brazilian clientele and hate serving foreigners or gringos. You experience these sort of ignorant Cariocas here and there when you spend a lot of time in Rio. So after waiting over an hour for food and watching my glass sit empty for 20 minutes while also observing him attentively serve every Brazilian, seeing their food arrive, etc....I asked to cancel my order. Instead of apologizing or even making an attempt to fix the problem, his cocky response was to smile broadly, give me a sarcastic thumbs up, insult me ​​in Portuguese while thinking I don't understand him, and mockingly wave at me as I walked out of the restaurant. So now I go to Gaja D'Oro. It is in a beautiful building by the beach, offers much better service, a similar high end Portuguese menu, and I have never been offended to my face after being a loyal customer who spent more than 500 reals per person every time I went.

The decor is nice and the atmosphere is a modern, classy restaurant with a glassed-in, open- kitchen design where you can see the chefs at work at the fiery grill. The menu offers a number of classic appetizers, salads, and of course number of steak options with different sized portions. I tried the salmon bruschetta, which had an artesian smoked salmon with tiny lemon wedges, dill, and smothered in cream cheese. It was quite tasty and came with 4 full loaded slices which was filling enough for a meal. The beef ancho was a little fatty but I guess it was the simplest cut. The "a ponto" was a little too red and raw for me but is the highly suggested as the best way to cook it. I would come back to try a different cut of meat and try a few more of their side dishes. Overall service was good and food was great.

Or touristy, but I liked it more than my wife.

A longtime establishment, you are greated by white coated waiters and seated a cloth covered tables, an upscale experience. The sardines were excellent. Being fresh prepared, they do not have the same oily/fishiness that many Americans expect. I can't say enough for the garlic butter sauce the fish was prepared in. Definitely one you want to savor. Presentation of the food is supurb, they pull the meat straight from the display, cook it and then bring it back to your table. I didn't get any but the prawns are huge, order sparingly. If there is a downside, they are one of the more expensive places I ate in Rio. However, you get the full dining experience here and it is much more affordable than the states.
