All waiters were very friendly and it’s a better Brazilian meat buffet I had eaten. They even served prawns and chicken wings. Love their choices of drinks and desserts. They even made me felt so special

All you can eat churrascarias -22.984643°, -43.198416° The classic grill at Carretão Ipanema offers a traditional Brazilian rodízio (steakhouse) dining experience in a bustling environment and focuses mainly on tourists, sometimes at the expense of authenticity and quality. The extensive salad bar, with salads, cheeses, sushi and hot dishes, looked fresh and varied. In April 2025, friendly and accommodating staff cut make frequent rounds with different kinds of meat from large BBQ skewers. Some cuts tasted very good, but some were over-salted, dry or tough. Be picky. Drinks and desserts are not free and the total cost of a menu was R$368. Carretão Ipanema classic grill offers a traditional barbecue dining experience, but be picky.

Great service, the food was so delicious, a very good selection of meat and the buffet was so much to choose from. Pasta salad, sushi, green salads, rice and beans, vegetables and so many others like empanadas omg so delicious. And the service was really up top. We really felt very comfortable with everyone from the front all the way until pay time.. everything was excellent we will definitely come back.

Solid spot! Not the best, but definitely a good option for the price. One person is around $170. Shout out Matthias for incredible service 🙏

I was looking for a local food during my stay in Rio de Janeiro (my first time in Brazil btw) and I found this one on google maps. I had the combination of two of the best amazonas’ dishes (according to the menu) Mix avatars + manicoba. The food was really tasty. Sadly they don’t have much options on the menu. Only one dish for vegetarian. The price is a bit higher than the portion of their servings. All in all, it was a good experience.

Lovely small restaurant. Staff friendly despite the language barrier English to portuguese. We had a cheese slice and the crab. Both tasty. However the acai is a must. It is worth going just for the acai like the locals.
Scooby Todd - 6 months ago

This place is borderline scam. Prices are VERY expensive and portions are VERY small. Quality is below average (except of Acai) Acai is nice, nothing crazy and 'wow blew my mind' but its definitely the best acai I have ever tried in Rio. (it just tastes the way it should, nothing crazy) If you are for Acai, come. Otherwise dont bother with other dishes

This place is so exceptional. I've eaten here multiple times each trip to Rio (over years), usually after a day at the beach. If you are in Brazil and want to get the real acai, this is the place. Be aware it has a bitter taste, so adding the honey option helps to smooth the flavor without making it sweet. The nutrients and fiber are fantastic. Can't go wrong adding banana or granola. You can sit inside or out. The acai is cold, so it's great on a hot day, or nice to enjoy outside on an evening or cooler day. Enjoy the real taste you just won't get in other places in the world (or most of Rio)

I haven’t tried many açaís but this one was pretty good and not too sweet! Has a restaurant to sit in and a few toppings to choose from, but not that many options for on top.

Our first dinner in Rio started here. My spouse found an article on Lonely Planet of this place that serves one of Brazil's well-known dishes, feijoada. ATMOSPHERE: The no-frills space is your typical mom & pop kind of place with indoor & outdoor seating. We had a late dinner so the place was dead due to the hour and time of month we were here. Late June is Rio's off-peak tourism season, we were told. MENU: Feijoada, traditional Brazilian cuisine, desserts. BEVERAGE: Lime & Passionfruit Cocktails - A shot glass of the stuff comes with the feijoada meal. I believe it's similar to the national drink of caipirinha. Bohemian The national beer which is a smooth brew. FOOD: Fried Sausages We were served a spoonful each of diced chorizos which of course was tasty and went great with our beer. Bean Soup The smallest cup of the tastiest bean soup was consumed. I'm not a fan of black beans, which I think they were, but this was absolutely tasty and piping hot. Traditional Feijoada It's a Portuguese stew loaded with jerk meat, sausages, ribs and pork loin. We axed the pig ear, feet, tail and tongue. The pot came bubbling to the table, everything still cooking in the savory, dark brown gravy. Accompaniments were rice, fried manioc (AKA cassava which is a tree root), garlic collard greens, farofa (toasted cassava flour with the texture of bread crumbs), torresminho (pork rinds), and slices of orange which is said to aid in digestion. You just spoon each food on your plate like normal, keeping the pork rinds and manioc separate to keep their dry/crunchy textures. It was extremely hearty and tasty. We could not finish the pot nor the accompaniments which can be replenished. DESSERT: Included with the meal were three flavors of homemade compotes; pumpkin & coconut sweet chutney, banana, and milk. Not having a sweet tooth, I tried a tiny spoonful of each. They all tasted spot-on to their titles, with the milk recipe being my favorite. SERVICE: Female server took great care of us! She was very friendly and professional, even aiding us with the serving of our feijoada. Communication was a breeze. TIPS: Try to pay with cash. My credit card got compromised while in Rio and I'm not sure where it happened, so this tip appears on all my reviews where I paid with it. The surrounding neighborhood was a little shady at night, so definitely Uber/cab it. They're open from noon till midnight-ish, depending on demand. OVERALL: Quaint vibe, great food and service.

We came here for their Feijoada. It was quite the spread with a small pot of stewed meats of your choice, beans, kale, yucca fries, and other sides. I did find it quite salty though. Service was nice, but no indoor seats as it was only for reservation. If you want AC, make a reservation.
Angela T - 6 months ago

Very good traditional feijoada. Staff were friendly and very inviting. The food is a little pricey in comparison to other places but worth it.
Sara Marques - 2 months ago

Absolutely incredible food, lovely service and just a brilliant place to eat. The staff could not have been better and were accommodating of our language barrier. I have never had food better than this and it was very reasonably priced. I would wholeheartedly recommend this to everyone. It is the best.

Food was very good. I’m always skeptical of hotel restaurants but Gero proved me wrong. Great service and dishes all around. Will be back!
Gabe Kagan - 4 months ago

Fantastic ambiance and top notch service. Food leaves much to be desired. Breads were generally excellent, butter average, as are the sundried tomato and classic pesto. Appetizers, mains, and desserts were all very underwhelming. The scallop trio had one that was over-salted. The lobster pasta although al dente, had very little depth and balance in the sauce. The profiteroles were fine - the ice cream that came with it was surprisingly crystallized. Disappointing overall for a restaurant housed in Fasano. That said, kudos to the mixologist. The cocktail was EXCELLENT.
Kris S - 6 months ago

The staff really made me dined at this place. A gentleman who's I think was a waiter was super nice and spoke English well. I was impressed at how he explained and recommended dishes and wine for me. I really enjoyed the wine that he recommended. The dish was little salty with the sauce. However, it is still delicious.

High end establishment with very high end prices. The eggplant parmigiana was really very good. Small portions. Par with the course…
Carlos Augusto Lopes de Almeida - 2 years ago

Overrated. The service … waiters are constantly interrupting; it’s difficult to be left in peace. The food is over-priced and I was charged an additional random charge. The food was slow to arrive and tasted bland

Service and atmosphere was great but the food was a bit disappointing. The tabouli was way too salty, the baked kibe was dry and there was too much tahini in the babaganoush. Obviously that's my tastes but the overall experience was good and filling.
Kari Q. - 2 years ago

Got the appetizer sampler and the katfa dish along with a caprihina and a draft beer. Portions are large. The appetizer had taziki, hummus and babaganush. They were all bland but there are sauces like garlic and pepper that you can add to spice them up. The katfa dish was nice with the added fried onions a nice touch. The caprihina was perfectly balanced. The draft beer was pretty warm snd was soon flat. I would reccomend the Katfa and the caprihina. The katfa would be ok to share between to people as a small meal.

O Ipanema Café é um ponto de encontro de profissionais liberais. Não tem muita variedade, mas excelente qualidade nas poucas opções que serve. Na última vez em que lá estive, para um café de fim de tarde, encontrei três colegas engenheiros.

A Good value meal in Ipanema and nice spot to see Ipanema’s routine. I live near Copanema Mix and I have my meals there at least once a week. It’s cheap, quickly and the staff are super nice. You can have fresh juices there, meals and sandwiches. I would skip snacks, pizza and deserts. There are excellent combos for breakfast and lunch.

5 stars just for being open 24 hours, and the juices and vitaminas are great as well.

Really chill spot, I received the carne asado Plato de dia. I ordered it Togo and the waiter actually knew what I meant so that was great! They have Mexican coke but you can’t take the bottle Togo. So they gave me a little cup to take with me. Try to speak Portuguese and maybe ask for dressing with the salad.

Medium price range for açaí During my 5 times in Rio I found the price of açaí from high to low Some fancy açaí place > Corner fast food plus açaí place like big nectar > On the beach price > Zona sul super market price > Copacabana beach street cart cheapest

Epic. A must go in Ipanema. Try the chicken parmeggiana qith your 3 favorite side. You won’t regret 🙏🏼

The place is filthy and it has a dirty appearance to it. The helpers or make believe that they are waitresses have a poor look to them, their "uniform" needs a good cleaning and generally speaking it has a dirty appearance all around. I was kind enough to give it 3 stars........
Mauricio Martins - 4 years ago

Big Nectar is the least expensive most delicious restaurant in the city, and they're all across Rio. Note: If you're ordering, tell the cashier directly, bc the staff is quite exhausted. They're not trying to be rude, Big Nectar is busy from open to close everyday.

Located right at the corner of a very busy street in iPanema, 1 block from the metro and 2 blocks from the beach this juice bar gets really busy especially on the weekends. With their extensive menu, you and your buddies can munch on the local favorites like salgados, tapiocas or choose from the many exotic fruit juices. There are is really no bad outcomes here. Prices are inline with the similar places around the area. Give it a chance, you will like it.

It is not the best fillet mignon I tried but it is the best for the price. I paid 30 BRL for fillet mignon and it was in good size. I also got lemon juice and it was only 11 BRL for 500ml. Definitely recommended as a budget option.

Açai bowl was surprisingly good! We shared it between 2 as it was huge. Quick service. 600ml portion was 25BRL

Probably my favorite Portuguese restaurant now. Food absolutely delicious! So many wine options. Service outstanding! And pretty affordable prices comparing to restaurants closer to the beach. Try the bacalhau lasagna 😋 Go early, it gets packed.

One of th best meals that I had in Rio. Amazing authentic menu featuring Portuguese favorites. Great wine selection, Port and cocktail menu. The cod is the star of the show but many other options. The Seafood risotto was a favorite. Includes a high end deli style market. Be prepared Seating is limited and a lot of times a wait even on weekdays.
Chris J - 7 months ago

Traditional Portuguese food. It's just weird that there are so many wines but not a wine menu. They have a sommelier but he didn't come to our table, the waiter just recommended a wine -which is fine for me but maybe other non Portuguese speaking tourists. In any case, I would always want to check the wine menu and have a better idea of the wine I'm choosing. Food was good, not remarkable.

Visited in July 2024. Brazil. Rio de Janeiro. We chose this restaurant based on reviews because it was close by. It’s a restaurant and a grocery store, where you can buy some food and wine. The restaurant itself is pretty big with lots of seating, but the tables are pretty close together. Food: We tried two appetizers and two main courses. We had the cod mousse in a zucchini flower. It was okay, but the filling lacked flavor. You could barely taste the cod. We also had the crab croquette with a tom yum style sauce. It was a delicious dish with a vibrant sauce and a crispy croquette. For our main course, I chose the seafood skewer, because a lot of people had raved about it. The squid was completely chewy and rubbery. You might want to take the squid off the position and replace it with mussels or something else because squid is rarely cooked so that it's soft and juicy. The shrimp wasn’t peeled, which is strange. We had to dig through it with a fork because it didn’t peel well. The fish was cooked well, but the octopus was on the verge of being dry. My husband ordered grilled octopus, and his was cooked much better—it was softer and juicier. All of the dishes had some kind of flaw. Service: The waiters speak English, which is a plus. The service was really slow. We were at the restaurant for 1.5 hours. For people who just want a quick bite, that’s a lot of time. We waited 20 minutes for our dessert, which was ready. The waiters were mostly chatting with regulars, so it was hard to flag someone down. We had to ask for the bill three times. Conclusion: The menu is interesting and has a lot of things I wanted to try, but the dishes we tried were all average at best. It’s a one-time visit for us. We don’t want to go back.
