France has Cassoulet. Brazil double dog dares with Fejoada (fay-zzzhwa-dah)…read more I asked the hotel receptionist where to go for Fejoada. She pointed me to Bolinha. It is the weekend and the ubiquitous Brazilian dish is their signature buffet. So everything came to the table! The 10 cuts of meat include bacon, pork chop, oxtail, pig ear, beef tongue, linguica, brisket, ham hock, and pork knuckles. The broth is brimming with collagen--so they offer salsa, hot sauce, and fresh orange slices to resuscitate your palette. Thicken the broth with toasted nut flour if you wish. There's fried sweet banana and yucca, pork rinds and crispy bacon on the side, perfect rice and shredded collard greens. Assuage your guilt with shots of house caipirinha. Think a sweeter margarita on the rocks... The very patient and sweet maitre'd offered me dessert. He's thinks he is so funny! While I have no reference to compare this example to others as it was my first taste of Fejoada, the standard is set immensely high. Not cheap at R150 total bill ($40). But this memory has been seared indelibly into my food coma'd brain. And now I understand why they have such a light dinner. Time for a siesta to recover. !!! Bring a translator (Google translate is pretty good) if you don't speak Portuguese. Inhouse WiFi available.

Walked from our hotel to this restaurant. We were seated immediately but it took a long time to get…read more a waiter to take our order , waitstaff would dissapear or would be with other patrons . Extensive menu which is nice , they have everything from salads , açaí bowls, chicken and fish etc . The coconuts are amazing , try the pineapple coconut , and also heard it's great when you add alcohol . My only complaint was there chicken dishes weren't that great. I felt adventurous and got the curry chicken with spinach and mashed potatoes , and it arrived to the table looking like straight puke , literally . I couldn't even tell my potatoes from spinach. I couldn't eat it , it took too long to get our food so I just gave it back . My recommendation is play it safe ordering food, no curry chicken or sweet and sour or anything like that , that's more from the states . I will say the desserts are great ! I would return , and would just play safe with salad !

Upon walking in, the establishment is bright and smartly decorated. Behind the bar, you can see the ramen chefs working their magic into each bowl. The ramen itself is decently priced (definitely cheaper than the US!), though I was a little disappointed that their tonkotsu ramen wasn't really made from tonkotsu broth, but rather, it was salt or soy based. That being said, it was more than enough to satisfy my ramen craving.

From…read morethe square, down the road with the oriental lights across the bridge, then a little further on the right side is Aska. Note the "oh, this is gonna be good" vibe when you enter for the first time. It's been a family-run Liberdade staple for many years and is usually packed with locals at most times of the day. At lunch there may be a wait, however the Maitre-D flips tables fast. Aska serves up big bowls of delicious Ramen and Beef/vegetarian gyozi. Food comes fast, and udon noodle refills are often necessary. Chimchi, cold pickled vegetable salad is also tasty. Goes along well with an agua com gas or Guarana Antarctica. Prices are reasonable for what you get. "Ressaca? Que ressaca??" - Brazilian you

Olive Garden at the airport! I haven't been to Olive Garden in ages, so it was nice to find a…read morelittle bit of home in Brazil. The decor looked similar to the Olive Gardens back home in terms of the seating and plates and menus and stuff. Food was similar, too. I was able to request an English menu, so that was nice because I don't know Portuguese. However, I wanted the unlimited soup and salad meal, and the server didn't really offer that to me. After requesting a soup and then a salad, I sat for a long time with my empty dishes... and no one ever came by again to ask if I wanted anything else. Did they not expect me to order any more food? I guess I'm a piggy that wanted more, and I really had to go bug someone to get another soup. All-in-all, it was okay, but not a fabulous experience. One of my soups was lukewarm and not piping hot, so that wasn't great, either. But beggars can't be choosers for a taste of home.

The waiter brought our bill and after we mentioned that the chicken was undercooked, the waiter left and came back and removed it from the bill without us asking to do so. He then proceeded to tear up the old receipt and crumple it up and leave it on the table. Luckily the waiter had a frown on his face the whole time from the moment we sat down to the time we left. Breadsticks were amazing! Come for the breadsticks, salad, and the music.
