Marine Restô

July 5, 2025

I thought the food was not as hyped. The oysters were fresh, so was the salad (lacked a bit of crunch, could use more of the Brazilian nuts). The bread was nice and warm, served with olive oil and butter. The fish stew was strong with a good base of fish stock. With a pinch of salt, it was nice. The chicken actually saved the day. My expectations were very high of this restaurant. It was sadly not met. It's probably not value for money either, but for hotel guests, they work it works I guess. Our waiter was well spoken and had good understanding of the menu and guided us well. He continued to check with us on food and services. It was nice of him. One key point to mention that while we were not hotel guests but first in line for a couple table, the girl as the host didn't put us at the nicer table that we requested but sat someone else (appeared to be hotel guest and from a western country). Such profiling and discriminatory behavior should be avoided (I hope she had better reasons for it). The expectations were not met, but overall experience was OK.

Visited in July 2024 Brazil. Rio de Janeiro. This restaurant is tucked away inside a hotel, which made finding it a bit of a challenge initially. But once we did, we were struck by its grand size and beautiful interior. We snagged a table on the terrace, which offered a stunning view, and settled in to enjoy the ambiance. The food: This place specializes in grilled Mediterranean fare, and we went for seafood. We ordered grilled shrimp and lobster, accompanied by a grilled heart of palm. The seafood was cooked to perfection—juicy, perfectly charred, tender inside, and seasoned just right. We were thoroughly impressed. The heart of palm, however, fell a little flat compared to other versions we've had before. Portions were generous. We also sampled two desserts—one coconut and one featuring cashew fruit. They came with a fun show using liquid nitrogen. The coconut dessert with condensed milk was a real hit, but the cashew fruit was a miss. The mousse inside had a strange texture and flavor, and the cashew fruit itself is an acquired taste. Service: Service was excellent, with some servers speaking English, which made us feel comfortable. It felt like a place geared towards international travelers, as it's located within a hotel. The wait for our food was reasonable. Overall: We loved this restaurant. The atmosphere inside was charming, and we especially enjoyed our evening on the terrace with live music. It was a truly delightful, relaxing, and delicious experience. We'll definitely be back! Thanks for a memorable evening!

I was here a year ago and had to visit again as the experience was so good. Still OUTSTANDING in every aspect. The service especially from Stephanie, the hostess at the front desk. We were welcomed and our Resi was adjusted to arriving earlier and sitting outside. Great staff, service and value for money food! Well done Mr Netto Moreira on an establishment well managed. Regards from 🇨🇦

I would rate the overall experience a 4.5 however google maps only allows full stars. The location and venue is the best in rio, beautiful view, decor and ambiance. We were so pleased to walk in and find out they were open for service on Christmas Day. We got sat outside with a live performer. Now about the food, we loved the picanha and the rice it came with. We ordered a side of vinegrette which was a pretty big serving for two, was pretty standard but still yummy. For entrees we ordered the crudo, now this is a personal taste. I like my crudo sauce to not be so sweet but more sour. The fish itself was fresh and my sister enjoyed the dish but i would rate it a 6.7/10 due to the sauce. The goat salad was good, just wish the chunks of caramelised nuts were smaller since I unexpectedly bit hard into a big piece without knowing what it was. Lastly we also got the yellow potato starter dish, it tasted like a very gummy potato pure which I enjoyed very much with out meat, the only thing that threw us off were the slices of cucumber inside the potato puree. Overall had a great dinner these are just the small comments I had about the food. Drinks on the other hand were perfect!! We love ourselves a few cheeky cocktails and they delivered with their signature cocktails!! They even made us a special coconut and tequila drinks that was like a dessert in liquid form. Thank you for the staff and cooks working on Christmas night. We are so grateful!!

The care and service was excellent. Each dish was delicious. They had live music and dim lighting. Highly recommend. And try the dessert that looks like a cashew!
