Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff and lot of seafood options. Didn’t have trouble connecting in English as well. It is rare to find service like this these days. It was all good but the basque cheesecake with hot guava sauce is a step forward for humanity. Unbelievably delicious. Loved this place for our first night in Rio. At the Copacabana beach. 1 block away behind the blue note. Good delicious food, good portions and great service. 👍🏾 we shared a bunch of half portions dishes, great seafood. We ordered all seafood & it was very tasty.

A delightful and charming Portuguese restaurant offering an array of traditional Brazilian and Portuguese dishes. The bolinho de bacalhau and garlic prawns were the perfect starters. The Bacalhau Gomes de Sá and Moqueca de Peixe we shared were tasty and cooked to perfection. It's so refreshing to experience a dining team that seamlessly combines silver service with an intimate and cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended – you must go there!
