Wife and I came in as part of a tour group, be aware drinks are $$$. Pay special attention if they put down a shot glass and they pour Port wine that you didn’t ask for you will pay for it. Only pay for drinks you requested. From experience, after a long discussion they refunded the $$ if you didn’t drink the port. As for food all I can say is, if you love salt seasoning good luck. Even some of the food in the salad bar had salt. Service staff were pleasant. We were told by hotel and tour guide this was best. If that’s the best, they haven’t tasted really good Brazilian grill food. It was an insult to grilled food.

The price was definitely worth it with this incredible buffet. There was a great variety of meats that just kept coming, so we could taste a little bit of everything. Everything was well seasoned and delicious. The staff was always attentive and kind. Additionally, the desserts were so good!

Salad 🥗 bar was excellent. Fruit 🍎 salad was tasty and the best. I liked the the variety of BBQ 🍗 meat 🍖 options they serve. We tried the Chicken 🐓 lamb 🐑 fish 🐟 meats and they were very good. The host and staff are very nice and the service was excellent. Don’t forget to try this dessert combination - vanilla ice cream 🍨 with cinnamon sugar powdered fried banana 🍌

Can only leave positive words about this place.
Came here over lunch and had a really great time. The buffet was very fresh and of very good quality. The meat cuts that were served as all-you-can-eat were all very well cooked, of high-quality meat, and brought to us very frequently. Wine was good too and so was the service of the very attentive waiters. In the end, could you even take home our small cup for the port wine which was a nice personal touch.

So far the best one I’ve had in Brasíl most of the one I went to didn’t season the meat well. This place did.
My only issue was them rarely coming to me but noticed them serving other table frequently. Won’t make any assumption I’ll try again in few days.

An all-you-can-eat restaurant. The "Rodizio Pizza" version (49R$) includes pizza and pasta, and the "Rodizio Sushi" version includes sushi, pizza, pasta, and perhaps a piece of cake (99R$). Regardless of the list of people, a tip was added to the bill.
In general, an interesting option if you want to try different flavors, including savory pizza, but also sweet pizza with chocolate. I tried the white chocolate pizza without having to buy the whole thing and it was a nice experience.
However, the quality of the pizza is average - the dough is average, and the choice of flavors is usually limited: sauce + cheese + one ingredient (either chicken, or shrimp, or vegetable). Therefore, if you appreciate the good quality of a good pizza dough, then look for another place.
Acceptable value for money.
The place was clean and friendly staff.

Food is okay. But I found it bit weird that the deserts are charged extra. Being from US, buffets means all included. I was caught by surprise that I have to pay for desert by weight.
I guess language barrier can be problem if you are foreigner and can’t read the signs if there is any.
But being a tourist place and having so many foreigners, putting some English signs can really help some customers.

A small buffet with a very small selection of food and only two meat choices, neither of which was good. There is no carved meat station like you get at other buffet restaurants unfortunately. The restaurant had a particular smell that I can only describe as a dirty restaurant smell.
Staff were not very friendly or welcoming and when we went to the cashier to pay, she just rudely waved us away to her colleague without even looking at us.

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)

Wanted to try Amazon food. I recommend the chef menu which is 3 small dishes. Food came out fast. I also had a fruit drink. If you’re curious to try another cuisine this is a decent spot. Prices reasonable.

They only have two fruit flavours for the acaii and you have to pay extra per topping even when ordering the biggest bowl size.

Ordered the traditional feijoada, descent, not bad but nothing to rave about. The bean soup was solid I liked it. My favorite part was the spicy chili pepper oil, just a little bit of oil goes a long way and mixing that in with the beans and rice is very tasty. Owner is also very nice.
Allen Lin - 2 months ago
Good place to eat topical Feijoada. For around 140 Reals you can have as much as you want. The meat is very good, but you can also choose from pig ears or feet. We tried the ears too, but it wasn’t ours, but that’s just personal taste. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and looks very modern. The service was always nice and attentive.

On point, authentic Feijoada. Beans and rice with all the beef, pork, and mystery (ears, tail, feet) bits you want to expect for the real deal.
Be prepared to need a nap after this meal! It’s delicious!
Desert samples may not have an overdone presentation but are nonetheless delectable. And the Cassava fries are arguably the best fry ever!

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.

A fancier dining experience in Rio. Was recommended specials which weren’t on the menu. Ravioli filled with ricotta & lemon was pretty phenomenal - light and well-balanced for a pasta dish. Fish was alright although presentation intriguing. Service was inconsistent ie wine pour was splashed on tablecloth & we had to ask twice to see the menu.

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. - 10 months ago
If you like boring, bland, tasteless Brazilian food like dry, stale, crumbly white bread, hot dogs or even sawdust (farofa) for breakfast, you might not like this place. But if you like your food to have flavor, this might become your favorite restaurant.
And they actually have waiters that speak the universal language of English. In a tourist zone! Who would have THUNK it!
If only they could do something about the inconsiderate dog owners/sidewalk diners that don't (or can't) control their pets....

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.

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.
Patricia Acioli - 4 years ago
Typical lanchonete with sandwiches and juices. I've been there for breakfast and I ordered egg whites with hearts of palm and turkey (cold cuts). The service is pretty average, but they're not there to please you, they're just there to bring your meal to the table. I recommend if you are nearby and just want to grab a bite to eat. Because I live right across the street it's convenient. It's not AMAZING, but lanchonete suits its purpose. Reason for 4 stars? It's open 24/7.

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.

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 >

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.
