Terra Brasilis

October 18, 2025

A full taste of Brazil in one meal Terra Brasilis in Urca is one of those places where you can sit by the sea and feel like you’re experiencing all of Brazil in a single meal. The menu brings together dishes from several states, so you get a mix of flavors and cooking styles from across the country. It’s a good place to understand how different the food is from region to region — from hearty northern stews to lighter coastal dishes. We got a table right on the beach, which made the setting hard to beat. The sound of the waves and the view of Sugarloaf Mountain give the meal a special feel without being overly formal. We ordered a few starters and two mains to share between three people, and that was plenty. Portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable, especially considering the location. The place has live music most of the time, which adds to the atmosphere, though it can get a bit loud. Sitting toward the back helps if you want a more relaxed conversation. The staff are friendly and keep things moving even when it’s busy. After eating, it’s easy to take a short walk through Urca, one of Rio’s most peaceful neighborhoods. You can stop for a drink nearby and look out at the view of Corcovado and Sugarloaf — both visible from just a few steps away. Terra Brasilis is a great option if you want to try food from all over Brazil without traveling far, enjoy a good meal by the beach, and see one of Rio’s classic views all in one outing.

This place is very beautiful and the food was really good. Only down side was 1 1/2 hour wait to get a table. Maybe with a reservation well in advance this can be avoided no idea. Still worth the time!

Beautiful spot! Really enjoyed the location and restaurant itself. So pretty… with Sugarloaf mountain and beach view… they even opened the rooftop which was nice. Took long for waiters to come by the table… normally not a problems… it’s a popular spot… however 3 tables that sat down after us all had drinks and appetizers a before we finally had to flag down the waiter. Food was not the best. We ordered filet mignon and sirloin, along with some starters. Everything came out lukewarm and steaks were tough. Such a disappointment because everything looks better than it actually was. As of now… we are still waiting for our waiter to return to either get dessert or pay our bill…. Still just sitting here… lol. It’s funny at this point.

Went here to get dinner on our vacation, the food is great but the service is impeccable ! Really enjoyed our meal here and would definitely recommend . The only qualm that I have is, I wish the portion size was slightly larger
