I was there a month ago for dinner and it was very good, however was told the chef had just left and they were awaiting a new one. The service was the best I have had in Rio. However going back this week the menu had changed and was less interesting, (although the ceviche was very good), mains were expensive and small, and the service was all over the place. Also the excellent executive lunch menu had gone (despite still being on the website). It’s a shame as it was one of my preferred restaurants in Rio. However with the new setup there is much better value for money in Rio. Still a really nice dining space so hopefully they can sort it out. The waiter was kind and patient while selecting wines. They did have a sommelier on staff.. pretty cool. The meal was just a couple bites… ha.. but the culinary experience was nice. A small quaint space in copacabana and did not visit rooftop due to it being closed. This dining establishment truly deserves all the praise it can get. From the moment you step inside, you are welcomed as if you are the only guest in the entire restaurant. The ambiance of the dining space is simply stunning, especially if you are fortunate enough to be seated next to the breathtaking vertical garden. Their dinner menu is exceptionally good value at $52, which includes the tip, and offers three courses along with an amuse-bouche. Each dish is impeccably presented, and the quality of the food is undeniably excellent. It might just be one of the finest dining experiences you can have in Rio. There's honestly nothing to complain about.

The highlight is definitely the service - 5 stars. We did the 3 courses experience - starter, main and dessert. The food was good, not outstanding. Our favorite was the couvert, which included goat cheese. Drinks were tasty, I had the coffee bourbon one. Environment is also nice - comfortable chairs, well selected music.

Fresh ingredients and tastefully prepared. It's about as good as you'll get in Copacabana. For dinner there is a choice between a 3 or 5 course tasting menu, or al la carte. The tasting menu let's you choose your dishes and has a few that aren't on the a la carte menu so that seemed the better choice. Pork belly and taglatelle were good and the salmon starter was great. We also had breakfast and the dishes, while small, are really good. The le croque monsieur was great!
