 This is by far the most amazing lunch spot in downtown Rio. I have eaten here many times, and without fail, all the food is delicious. Despite being served buffet-style, each dish seems as if it was just-made fresh to order. The staff are super friendly, and the entire restaurant is extremely clean (and welcoming!). Most importantly, the price by weight is a bargain, especially considering the high quality of the food. Without doubt, I will continue dining here happily for the rest of my life. And when I die I'm sure there will be a place exactly like this one in heaven.

 From Canada. Wanted a true Rio culinary experience. So much variety! So delicious! Wonderful environment! Great introduction to Brazilian cuisine that working people enjoy every day. Highly recommended. Don’t miss this place. As close to home cooking as you’ll find in Rio. Wonderful! Obrigado Toque Carioca.

 The food was surprisingly good. I made an order on UberEats and I had vegetarian Penne caprese and two focaccias. All of them convinced me in taste. I would reorder!

 Food was tasty and delicious 🤤 and they take your order very quick, the place is big so there seems to be enough room if you need to seat.

 O atendimento foi ruim. Na verdade, um funcionário em especial(que parecia o dono do local pois não estava com o uniforme e dando algumas ordens). O queijo quente com peito de Peru é razoável, mas bem recheado. No geral, é um local 3 estrelas. Parece limpo.
