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. The guy helping us scooped food onto our plates. It was an odd but interesting experience. Overall we loved the meat here, and the service was also great! Not to mention it was super affordable! Highly recommend this place!

My wife had shrimp tossed in pasta, and I had a crusted filet of fish over risotto, and both were excellent. Service is prompt and cordial. Very little English spoken, but the menus have English translations. Wine & beer served. Of the two (this one and Bartholomeu), we preferred the latter -- but if you have two nights in town I would definitely suggest trying them both; can't go wrong with either one. Brazilians dine relatively late, so if you arrive at either one in the 6:00-to-7:00 range there is no need for reservations.

We then had some cheese balls as another appetizer, and then the crusted fish and squid risotto for dinner all of which was excellent.

It's an AYCE buffet with churrascaria and the set price is R$268 (~$50 USD) plus 13% service charge. It includes the salad bar with vegetables, salads, soup, seafood, sushi, and churrascaria (meat, seafood, sides). The best options for the churrascaria were the ribeye steak, salmon with passion fruit sauce, and the lamb. I did appreciate that if you request a churrascaria item, they do bring it to you. You can also request sauces as well, the chimichurri sauce was good. I think the buffet was good value since you get a large selection of food and the quality was pretty good.

The salad bar was huge and with everything looking so good it was hard not to taste a bit of everything. The service was excellent. The staff was always making sure that I had what I liked. My favorite cut of beef was the skirt steak. It had a great flavor and was very tender. I would return.
