The breaded lenguado (sole) with capers was simply awesome, so simple yet so good. Desserts were excellent too everyone in our party of nine loved the place. Very professional service and a great atmosphere.

We had a late dinner here. Staff were very welcoming and our waiter had no trouble taking our orders in English. The fish and shrimp moquesas were a highlight and the fillet mignon was nicely done. We tried a Brazilian cab sav and it paired well with our meal.

Basic Portuguese restaurant. Delicious food. A bit pricey but the bacalhau 🐟and shrimp 🦐 dishes was very good. Highly recommend if you’re looking for typical 🇵🇹Portuguese food.

Alfaia Restaurante offers a very pleasant dining experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. Service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, a solid restaurant that delivers good food, good service, and a comfortable ambiance. Definitely worth a visit and easy to recommend.

Food was very very tasty but quite oily, staff was incredibly nice and very attentive but unfortunately not speaking English, no music in the restaurant and quite calm and quiet atmosphere.

Excellent service and location. Mixed feelings about the food. The popcorn shrimp / fried shrimp was so good, fresh and flavorful. I highly recommend and the serving can be an entree if not too hungry. The linguine with garlic and mushroom though was not good though. I ordered it without cream because of the lactose but it was dry, the garlic was dried and crispy, and there was like no flavor. They should remove this from the menu or upgrade the quality immediately. Other than that, everything was great.

First dinner spot on our arrival to Rio. Lovely atmosphere but I am giving it a 4 because we were not fond of several dishes. Perhaps we ordered the wrong thing and may be missed something amazing, but I would not recommend salmon carpaccio or beef carpaccio either. Salmon tasted like it was half cooked and tasteless. We pretty much left the whole thing untouched. Beef carpaccio was lacking flavor. We loved their sea food soup, that came recommended, octopus appetiser was so- so. Moqueca De Camarão (shrimp in a special sauce on a bed of some veggy mush) was tasty.

We had a great experience. The servers were very attentive. We arrived on a Saturday around 1pm. The only down side was how long it took for our food to arrive. The reason I gave 4 stars. The food was delicious. One of the best pina colada I’ve tasted in Copacabana. I highly recommend giving this place a try.

An excellent seafood spot with fresh, flavorful dishes and a great local vibe. The food is expertly prepared, the portions are generous, and the staff is welcoming. Perfect for seafood lovers looking for an authentic and memorable dining experience!

Excellent seafoods at reasonable price! I especially like the Sopa Leão Veloso, which is a Brazilian version of French bouillabaisse. The restaurant ambience is so-so but there are sitting on the terrace, which is great on a sunny day. It can get pretty crowded on weekend lunch time. Credit card accepted but the waiters speak little English.

The food was delicious and the service was the most outstanding! It is very cute inside as well as in a great location. There is lots of stores nearby. Weigh by kilo buffet had a lot of good choices - I was a huge fan that they had beans with no meat! Great for vegetarians like me. I highly recommend.

I have never had such good service before and food from the Copacabana area in my life. Their egg bacon cheese sandwich is amazing. It cost roughly 15 to 18 real dollars. Don't forget to leave a tip!

Really simple food but tasty, for that price ok, the staff friendly and welcoming. The music outside is definitely too loud.

The IBIS front desk recommended we try this place for breakfast. We don’t speak Portuguese so it took us a few minutes to figure out how it worked. The super cool restaurant is part bakery and part restaurant. Loved watching locals visit to purchase pastries while we sampled a variety of Brazilian breakfast treats from the buffet. Table side coffee service was appreciated.

Love this place and it's been my go to place for breakfast without any second thoughts. The price is a bit above average but the quality and choice of freshly made food is off the charts, and make it all worthwhile.

Their breakfast is so delicious, and their coffee is even more! They are so helpful when it comes into service. Everything is clean and you can see the kitchen. Specially I would like to thank to Marcus for suggesting us to taste their Essipecial coffee which was awasome and one of the best coffee I have had :)

A great place for breakfast! Really enjoyed being able to come here in the mornings, easy to get a table and food paid for by weight. The espressos were cheap and price was decent - good value for money! I’m from London and was in brazil for around 3 months- this place was close to where I was staying and was in a convenient location. It was clean, great bakery for fresh bread and baked goods, toilet was clean so all round great place for a breaky.

It was a great surprise, within walking distance of home. The ambiance is modern, comfortable, and intelligent—everything you order from an individualized tablet. At the same time, all the attendants are thoughtful and ready to assist you with any help you need.

Came for dinner on a Sunday evening and was pretty underwhelmed by both the food and service. The fish had almost no flavor — the salmon and tuna tasted watery — and the rolls were just plain and lacked any real seasoning or creativity. It’s inexpensive, so if you’re looking for something quick and cheap it’s not the worst option, but if you’re hoping for a good sushi experience, I’d look elsewhere.
Emily Wolfarth - 11 months ago

First time visiting, was on list for a while. Food quality was good and the sushi was fresh. However, service was inattentive, my drink never arrived and I had to ask about it while other tables were served. The staff did remove the drink and service fee when I requested it, which I appreciated. Hoping service improves because the food has potential. Usually wait staff will check in with you, but this waitress never did. I was the first client of the day at 12:00, and it was a family and a table of two that came in after me. If it was crowded I would understand. Like I said food was great but the service needs to be improved.

We had the all you can eat / order all you want for 129R$/person and it was truly worth it. The quality of the fish was excellent, as well as the other dishes. You’ll order through a tablet and it won’t take long to come even if the restaurant was full of people. Loved this place!

Excellent experience! It's a buffet with numerous dishes and meat station where they prepare meat/salmon for you. Everything is at the same price, they just weigh your choice. We grabbed some fresh salmon from the buffet and ordered meat. The picanha was tough, but the filet mignon was incredible. Everything we tasted was fresh and delicious, pricy positions were always available. We loved the place and would recommend it to others.
