This is a fantastic restaurant! The food is top notch and the waiters are super friendly. The steak is perfectly cooked. We went there two consecutive nights. It’s in a great location and has a wonderful ambience. And that’s the case regardless if you sit inside or out (though outside is better for people-watching). I highly recommend! The food is excellent, very wisely chosen and also very fresh. As a starter, i would recommend the palm hearts - there was an explosive mix of different tastes and textures which blow my mind. As a main dish I had the beef tartare and it was absolutely delicious - small pieces of meat, combined with onion, tomatoes, some spices and the egg sauce made my day. On top of that, the people were very nice and friendly, which made the entire experience a top rated one for me. Great food! Everything we had was amazing with such unique flavors. The staff spoke English which was great for us, however I must say that the wine was slightly expensive per glass (but that shouldn’t take away from the experience at all!!). If/when I come back to Rio I would come back

Muito bom! Nice place to get some drinks and dinner. There's a wide variety of wines and beers to choose from, and people are really friendly and kind. I recommend some Feta na chapa tapas, raviolis, and tagliata ao poivre 🫰

Could not recommend this place more, service was excellent, the bartenders drinks were delicious and unique and the food was outstanding, we shared some tapas and had the ravioli and seafood pasta (temporary) which was amazing. Not a budget place but very good prices for the quality of the food you get. Some speak English so very good for tourists! Absolutely recommend!!
