Outdoor seating today though was a definite plus, granted you're on a secondary road behind the main drag on Copacabana beach. We had picanha ao braseiro which is a kidney shaped steak with some fat - no complaints. It was a perfect medium with salt crystals that occasionally explodes in your mouth for that extra flavor. For 162 Brazilian Real(currency) for two people, it's a good deal. It came with diced tomatoe and onions a perfect offset. Happy I came here.

They didn't really speak English but it wasn't difficult to order. We got the steak and chicken. They came with some kind of vinegar infused veggies, rice, powdered stuff, and fries.

It is an incredible vibe because it is unexpected that so much elegance and sophistication would exist in such spot. The food is superb. The kitchen crew is amazing and stylish. Such elegant dishes and professional demeanor from all staff surprised me. I have enjoyed my visit and my wonderful meal so much. I suggest the beef ribs, the quindim ice-cream, and the salads.
