TOtally worth experience if you are into food. But get your wallet prepared: it is expensive. But i must say: every penny is worth it!

Very upscale restaurant. Dress up. The menu is Portuguese. Try any of the codfish variations. Food is a little heavy in the Summer. The Portuguese desserts are sweet and egg based. Once in a lifetime experience. Expensive.

Mi experiencia personal en Rio de Janeiro fue que todos los restaurantes mas recomendados fueron malos, caros y pesima atencion (parecian haciendonos un favor), mientras los botecos de barrio, los pequeños bares con ofrecimiento de comida y donde habian personas de la vecindad fueron excelentes y amables.

This was recommended to us as an old Rio classic restaurant serving the highest quality Portuguese cuisine. Old, yes. Classic-I hope not. The interior is filled with 1950's kitsch art (the kind sold along the fences in Piccadilly in London ("calendar" art). The Portuguese specialities which were supposedly the attraction were dried out and tired. (Perhaps leftovers from lunch?) Service... More

I am a well travelled foodie who was excited to visit this restaurant (which the new York times claims is "impeccable") while in Brazil. My experience was anything but impeccable...while the food was ok it was not worth it's price tag but most importantly our all male waitstaff ignored us throughout our meal as we watched other tables able to...

Great example of how to do portugese cuisine. Nice area of Rio. Love the antique style furniture. Had good attention from the waitstaff.

From the outside the restaurant does not impress. As you get inside you find a very cozy saloon and you notice they take care of all details in the decoration. Although dishes are expensive they are of decent size portions and tasty. Service was very attentive and all waiters, maitre and sommelier very polite. Wines are a rip off. In... More
