The atmosphere is nice, and food is up to the best standards. In particular, the picaña is delicious. However, price are substantiallly above average, while service is poor, when compared to other places in Rio. In fact, waiters are not attentive and definitely not gentle. Overall, this places is too expensive for what it offers , and there are way... More

Didn,t eat just a few cold choppys (draught beer) had to stop here as this is where the girl from Ipanema was penned. Good atmosphere, food looked good but just eaten, excellent place to sit & watch the creatures of the night.

Really fun restaurant with many interesting people and celebrity guests. Lovely food and nice service. Entertainment on the street. It was here that "The Girl from Ipanema" was born. Worth a visit.

We found this place by just walking by and we were lured in by lively, noisy atmosphere and crowded tables. We popped in and stayed. Cold beer and attentive service! Meats were overdone a bit but the sides were delicious! This dining experience was good,excellent for the service and atmosphere and the colorfulness of the experience.

We ate there last night (25th May) Before the end of our meal a taxi jumped a red light and a car swerved and ploughed through the restaurant demolishing a large part. Luckily it was late and no one was sitting near where it hit. We were closest only 10 feet away. Waiter told us that it was the 6th... More

There's nothing special about this place, except for the fact that it was where Tom Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes sat and watched the famous girl from Ipanema go by, inspiring the song of the same name.

I first visited this place back in 2005 and I remember it was very good, certainly touristy but nevertheless the food was very good. 8 years later and they have let it slip. The caipirinhas we ordered came out from behind the bar so quickly there was no way they were made fresh, telling of this was the discoloured inside... More
