    My cousin and I decided to eat at Galeto Sat's because Anthony Bourdain highly recommended it. Long…read morestory short, totally worth it. If you're in Rio go get yourself some chicken. It is VERY popular and I'm sure being recommended by Bourdain has a lot to do with it. The first time we tried to eat there the wait was over an hour long. We went sometime after 1AM and there was still a decent wait, maybe close to 30 minutes. The place is pretty small and cramped, but that gives it some charm. Somehow that makes the food taste even better. We ordered a little bit of everything and it was all amazing. Chicken, steak, fries, garlic bread, polenta. It was all cooked and seasoned to perfection. Everything we ordered was delicious Service was fair and prices are reasonable. Do yourself a favor and visit Galeto Sat's!

    Anthony Bourdain has dined here for one of his shows. That along with a few food blogs from the…read moreStates and Brazil recommending it means it was on my list of places to eat at. It's a solid restaurant that serves up pretty good chicken. In fact I ate here twice in a week, the first time to try it out and the second time because it was late at night and they are open until 5AM. Both times I was here it was timed right and I didn't have to wait for a table. The employees were accommodating to a tourist like myself who has a limited Portuguese vocabulary. They also have English language menus although I do like to navigate a menu in another language just to see what I can recognize. Both times I had the chicken with the garlic and pepper sauce as well as pão de alho. The chicken was perfect, juicy and very flavorful. And plenty of garlic. The garlic bread was delicious and had plenty of garlic. I love garlic so it was great for me but I can see some people saying it may be too much garlic. Batatas fritas were good as well. There was more I wanted to try but I will definitely be back the next time I am in Rio de Janeiro. This place has been around for decades so it should still be around on my next visit.

    My boyfriend and I wanted to dress up and go out for a nice dinner while visiting Rio and we were…read morereally excited about this place! This place was nice but if you're a foreigner - I would suggest visiting Churrascaria Palace near Copacabana instead. We loved it so much we went twice during our one week stay in Rio. The service was 100x better, many more cuts of steak coming around, amazing salad bar, and the ambience was just as nice. Also more foreigner friendly. **Knocking four stars off service specifically for the two hostesses up front (Jan 27 '26). Upon entering, they immediately gave each other a weird look making us feel weird, uncomfortable, and not welcome. They looked me up and down and exchanged judgmental looks upon entering and once again as we were leaving after our meal. As a classy restaurant, I expect a warm welcome from a hostess who carries that same classy standard in her demeanor and behavior.

    I did a lot of research when picking a churrascaria to go to in Rio, and ultimately settled on…read moreAssador over Fogo / Churrascaria Palace. I kept my expectations tempered, as people online said that in the end the best quality meat will not be at a churrascaria, so you're going more for the AYCE experience rather than the actual best cuts of meat. Overall, I had a great time - the restaurant was beautiful even at night (I heard in the day, there's a stunning view of Sugarloaf Mountain). The meats were free flowing - it might have helped that the table was close to the kitchen, so servers would come very quickly. It was pretty much exactly the experience I was looking for. They provide cards so that you can ask which cut of meat it is if it's not clear (and if you can't speak Portuguese). I was able to try a bunch of different cuts until I was fully stuffed. I will say I never requested a specific cut, and have heard that it might take some time if you are just looking for specific items.
