Why Travelers Love Restaurante Pérgula
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Seafood stew was very tasty and abundant. Service was attentive. Highly recommended this restaurant! We went to the Copacabana Palace Hotel for breakfast earlier today, a Sunday. It was a beautiful day, and the pool area was full. You can choose a table by the pool or inside; we chose inside because it was quite warm outside. The buffet is really nice, and we were attended to by Alex and Reginaldo, who went above and beyond. Reginaldo even shared a bit of the hotel’s history, and about the other two restaurants, which was superb. Everything we asked for was taken care of promptly. The buffet is spectacular, with high quality fresh fruits like mango, jabuticaba, and fruta-do-conde, which are rare to find. We ordered eggs Benedict and omelets, which came from the kitchen, both were delicious. Overall, it was top of the line, and I highly recommend it. It’s really worth it! I had a flat white, and my wife had a cappuccino multiple times; both were amazing. We can’t wait to go back. Five stars all the way! One note for management: Inside, the air conditioning wasn’t very strong. I didn’t want to bother the staff, but it’s something to monitor. With many people inside, it got quite warm, especially on a sunny summer day. It should be a little cooler to improve the guests’ experience. Had the best Sunday brunch here!! A plethora of food, lobsters, pancakes, oysters and beverages ! Atmosphere was nice with live music Our waiter was amazing! Book in advanced online.

While staying at Cococabana Palace Hotel in Rio de Janeiro, we had breakfast buffet at this restaurant. The selection of choices was outstanding. Very fresh fruits were delicious and tasty. Service and ambience were also great.

Luxurious experience at its best - the setting of course : Pergula is the « casual » restaurant of Copacabana Palace next to its pool. From poolside snacks to grilled meats , everything is delicious and of high quality. You get for what you pay … Service is discret and ever present.
