My friend and I popped in for a quick cocktail. We love gin so this place was perfect for us. Our server wrote mine as a plain G&T when he took our order (even tho I ordered one of the cute, fruity drinks), but he had the drink remade right away. Sexy, relaxed atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating. The food looks great too! I would definitely come back. read more

Rude server that made several mistakes throughout our dinner. Skinny, tan, wore glasses. Spoke poorly about us after we politely asked for the right order. He was upset because of his own lack of skills, how unfortunate. read more

Had an amazing lunch here today. Everything was delicious. Service was awesome. Vibe was lovely! Salmon crudo salad was refreshing, with a good amount of salmon tartare. The filet mignon was perfectly cooked (I had asked for Medium) and the side of gnocchi was definitely one of the best I had ever eaten. Had a pour of aged Cachaça and one of their special capis ... hit the spot :) read more

Passei no Via Sete e que surpresa boa! Comi um pirarucu com legumes grelhados que tava absurdo de bom -- sério, uma das melhores comidas que já provei no Rio Pedi também um frozen de maracujá com manga e vodka que tava perfeito, super refrescante e no ponto. E o atendimento então? Rodolfo mandou muito bem, super rápido, gente boa e super atencioso. Lugar que dá vontade de voltar fácil! read more

While vacationing in Ipanema, we wanted to eat someone on the fancier side and came to Via Sete. Like most Brazilian places there's outdoor seating but unlike most Brazilian places, there was a lot of indoor seating as well. In drinks, they offer options with Caju fruit (where the top stem looking part is roasted to make cashews, the fruit is very juicy but hard to export so I have never seen it in the US). The bartender also accommodated to make a virgin, off menu lychee drink for me. All the risotto dishes were divine, you can't go wrong with the octopus risotto or seafood risotto. I got the eggplant lasagna which in theory sounded fun but my eggplant was undercooked and there wasn't enough sauce to supplement the dryness. read more

I visited Via Sete in August. I was looking for a Brazilian restaurant for lunch and Via Sete was located across the street from the stores I'd been shopping in. A random choice turned out to be a great one. I sat on the patio which is open to the outside but because I was next to the tree, I felt protected from people walking by. I went classic with my food and drink orders. A roasted eggplant appetizer, picanha steak with potatoes and a couple of caipirinhas. This was my favorite meal. The steak was cooked perfectly and flavorful. The potatoes and crunchy fried onions were perfect accompaniments. The woman host was so great. She spoke English so we talked quite a bit. Everyone else on the staff was super nice too. I had a great experience. Yelp #23 2022 read more

This place is amazing, the atmosphere is sexy and quaint food is by far the best in the area~ Our server Lujan is amazing - very helpful and knows the menu and thankfully speaks English! This place is so good we went 2 days in a row! We had the Octopus Carpaccio divine, the Seafood pico de gallo-mayo dish reminds of a remixed shrimp scampi- is mouth watering, comes with toasted baguettes on the side a must try! I found it really hard to find a good salad, so the salad options on the menu again surprisingly delicious, I had the salmon vege bowl minus the salmon and sub tofu with a cauliflower base again OMG delicious the dressing is a Beetroot -tahini sauce *and note I am not a beetroot fan* but AGaIN so good. for my entree I had the Filet mignon, and pasta dish, now this is an odd pairing for me, but if you are craving red meat and pasta this is your plate...my friends had the Chorizo which is basically a Rib eye steak - really good, and grilled chicken breast with baked potato... this is a must stop place can't rave about it enough! love love love read more

They are located in the Ipanema area not far from the beach. This was recommended by our tour guide. They are in a great safe location and the setting was beautiful. I didn't have any problem getting a table at approx 1pm. The restaurant has a upstairs and downstairs, it does look small from the outside. The staff were bilingual and gave us some great recommendations for lunch. The food came out in a timely manner. I really enjoyed my meal and appetizer. All the food was seasoned to perfection! Good selection of drinks. Give them a try while visiting! Good shopping in this area also. read more

Great set up Modern restaurant Great service Tasty drinks Terrible food !!!! I was disappointed read more

We keep going back to this place because it has a great setting, both indoors and out. Also the food is quite good and the specials change to give it variety. The service here is quite excellent, hard to find in Rio. The staff is polite and attentive and it's very easy to navigate (they have English menus too). I had the soup of the day, a vegetable soup which wasn't too hearty or thick or too filling, but had good flavor. I also got an appetizer, a ceviche with crispy fries to scoop it out on. I also tried a strawberry and blackberry blended drink which was awesome. You can add whatever alcohol you like (cachaça or vodka) or even keep it virgin. Save room for dessert, since they have a good selection! read more

Great atmosphere clean and great food. We struggled with the language in Rio but they spoke English and the menu is in English. 15 minute cab drive from Ipanema read more

Felt like I was in a restaurant in Long Island City or downtown Brooklyn or Jersey City. Beautifully decorated restaurant in a posh area of Copacabana, it was a very enjoyable experience. Just looking around the restaurant there were a to. of tourist and they had English menus and waiters that spoke great English. I had one of their Classic burgers and my girlfriend had their Prime Rib specialty burger. Both were out of this world. They serve very thick patties. We got two burger dinners and soft drinks which summed up to 28 USD. What a steal! read more

Came here for lunch. It was very busy as expected on a Sunday so opted for the seating at the bar. The service was great and there was a English menus available which was a great bonus for me! The meal and drinks was phenomenal. I got the caipirinha and octopus meal, as a side I ordered fries. The caipirinha had muddled pineapples. The octopus had the right amount of char and the fries were the perfect balance of crispy and soft. I didn't have one waiter/waitress/bartender per se as everyone working assisted me at some point or another which I happened to love! When I am back visiting I will definitely return to this restaurant! read more

Great place, vibe and delicious food, coming from Los Angeles this place is a must while in Rio. Ordered the burrata as a starter and the salmon and my husband had the burger all were excellent. Would come again! read more

My mahi steak was woefully overcooked. As in, I used a fork and knife and plenty of muscle to saw through it. I'm not sure what went wrong - my server suggested it be prepared rare and acknowledged my acceptance of said suggestion. And though this may sound like a deal killer, I actually really enjoyed my dinner at Via Sete. Service was more attentive than any I've received in Rio. I enjoyed my mushroom soup starter. And they served our red wine at cellar temperature (cool) just like I like it. Ambiance in this restaurant is a nice mix of fancy and neighboorhoody: dim lighting nice enough for a date; bulldogs snoozing at the feet of their owners. I'd totally give Via Sete another go. read more

Very nice place to sit and relax outside but covered. The servers are very nice and quick. They have English menus. We had the on the grill with a side and salad. I had the salmon. It was good. Could have been cooked a little longer but still very great. The WiFi is fast. And fun to people watch. I would def come here again! read more

The restaurant is in a lovely location near the Ipanema beach. Perfect place to eat after a morning at the beach. They have seating outside on the patio, which is lovely and great for people watching. Hubby and me came here for lunch after a morning of doing touristy stuff. They have vegetarian options - which I expect are hard to find in Rio. We ordered caipirinhas to start. Refreshing and perfect. I ordered a spinach salad with grilled mushrooms and feta cheese. Hubby ordered the veggie burger, for which we could choose 2 sides. We chose the couscous salad and fries. The food was great - tasty, fresh and flavorful. They have generous portion sizes, but we were famished and finished our entrees. It is a lovely place to eat a leisurely meal while at Rio - great service with a winning ambiance and great food. read more

I've been wanting to go here for a while, but they always have a line. Finally managed to get a table and quickly learned why there's always a line. It's great. I'm not kidding. My group had three of us and tried something of each plate. Every one was simply delicious, and we're talking about a range of items from pasta to tuna steak to salad. I was full but wanted to keep eating. Drinks were good, about standard for Rio. Nothing to yelp about (haha). The only drawback was that the service was a bit slow, although it was busy so that happens. And the calamari was overcooked. I'll be going back - if I can get a table. read more

Delicious!!! I'm from a different state in Brazil and this was the best grilled chicken I've ever had. The caprese salad was very well seasoned and the French fries were crisp and fresh. I had the honey mustard sauce and it was perfect. The meal was a bit pricey but worth it. The portion was generous and the restaurant was cool and stylish. I'd say: go for it!! read more

Been to the one in Ipanema (this one) and also the one down town. Yes, there is always a line. Key : GO EARLY! :) I tend to always order the same thing though - their lamb burger. Firstly because there are not many lamb dishes around in Rio, and secondly, and I say this with a hint of reservation, the burger is generally good :) I say with a hint of reservation as it is not very consistent :( sad thing though as when you go expecting so much out of it, it comes out to be disappointing. But it must mean something that I still keep going back and still giving it a chance that it would turn out as amazing as I remembered it the first time I tasted it - and that was exactly what happened at their centro branch last week. They served me a really really good lamb burger :) Other things I tired on their menu - hot dog (which was ... well... decent. I guess it just did not correspond with the price that you are paying for it), their mushroom pasta (I had better). Dessert - brownie is gooooooooooddddd :) read more

Another little gem in Ipanema, what a great neighborhood! As everywhere else, we had to give your name to be put on a waiting list but we went for some shopping in the street and our table was quickly ready. We sat outside on the terrace, it was nice. We first ordered some appetizers to share and we LOVED it. We had some sesame calamaris and incredible palm tree hearts freshly baked with a nice sauce. I went for the grilled salmon with vegetables and tabuleh as main dish and I had a blast. In short, food was awesome. Prices are a bit high but it's worth the money. Regarding the atmosphere, it was packed with different nationalities attending the Olympic Games, not sure it reflects the daily reality. Another successful evening during our Brazilian trip! read more

Good food! Very good food. Service was attentive and no mistakes for our 8 person. group. I had the Pincanya mushroom burger and it was fantastic. Cooked perfectly even though they never asked how I wanted it. It came with a choice of salad or fries, I chose salad. Wide range of drink choices. I recommend this place. read more

I like the outdoor seating. The food is good but not too much different from the food in US. A good place for quick lunch

Vía Sete was recommended by more than one person. This Saturday night it was rainy so we decided to walk only 5 minutes to the restaurant. I wish I would have stayed closer to where I was staying. The food was not described correctly, everything was smoked and there was a hair in one of the plates. It was one of the worst experiences I've had. I hope you improve your service, good, and menu. read more

Very slow service, vibe is pretentious, food overpriced and really not that good. Wouldn't go back. If you only have few meals in Rio, go and try something authentic. Here you will only find lame burgers and fries that taste like Mac Donald's only 10x the price. Not advised!!! read more

If you're looking for a lively place in the heart of Ipanema to enjoy good food, drink and people watch. This is it. Energetic atmosphere. Great outdoor seating. Gourmet burgers and steaks. They have a variety of fruity versions of the caiparinha. Try the frutas vermelhas - red fruit combination or my favorite the abacaxi - pineapple. Your straw will have a spoon at the en so you can enjoy the fruit. I had the Kobe burger medium that came with fries. read more

One of our best meals in Brasil (and we've checked out some of the big name places both in Rio and SP, including DOM, Mr Lam, the Sofitel res). We split the combo with the traditional Brazilian meat + couscous/Moorish salad and the empanada/deep friend dumpling starter for lunch. Everything was comfortable and delicious. It gave us that sensation that comfort food leaves you with - you feel relaxed and a little happier than when you came in. Recommended. read more

Staff was nice and welcoming but the steak was overlooked even though we ordered medium-rare. Reasonably priced for this area. Nice setting. Nice terrace. read more

The manager here runs a tight ship and I love it. I had ordered the steak Moulin Rouge burger (which was fantastic) and was told they did not have grilled mushrooms which was fine. Still, our server offered me a side for free! When I received my plate I was surprised to find only the steak patty minus the buns. After the initial confusion passed the manager himself was quick to rectify this problem and continued to constantly check up on my table up until we left. About half the staff speaks good english and the rest at least know useful phrases so it was easy to navigate the menu. The manager constantly moved around the restaurant making sure everyone is good to go and that his staff is on point. The result is some of the most attentive and friendly service in Ipanema! There's mostly burgers on the menu but unlike many other brazilian burger spots these one's were really flavorful and on point. I would definitely go again although at R$45 for a burger it's a little more on the pricey side. PS. try the brownie desert it is the 30x better version of a BJ's pazookie and will make you happy in pants read more
