If tourists could find this gem, it would be among the best meat places in Rio. Not sexy, not fancy, just good food and service. I will be honest, it helps to be a local as foreign language will be tough to navigate here. If you do brave the experience will be well worth it. Make sure that you insist... More

You will always eat well here. The meat cut is perfect, the codfish barbecue awesome, any type of fried potatoes which are breathtaking. There are no salad bar, but it really doesn't matter. Be early because if not there will be a Q.

I had great expectation but I found average good quality food. But, again, nothing out of this world.

We just eat here at saturday night the 24 of november. The entrance of the restaurant and the reviews looks nice to us so we give it a chance. However the service of the waiters was bad and very brutal and even unfriendly. We are just finished in 30 minutes, while the waiter uncomfortable was waiting with our voucher .... More

I believe the very first Churrascaria in Rio, if not Brasil. Not usually on the tourist trail but from the old school. You sellect your raw meat and they cook it to perfection. Served by professional waiters, in whites and bow tie, nothing is too much trouble. Not cheap but good value for money and an unforgettable experience! Give it... More

Old churrascaria , service is good, wines from south America AND some from Europe. But meat was hard. No waiter speaks english, altough they have a short menu written in english.

This restaurant is one of those gems that probably only locals know. As you may read from other reviews, this is that kind of restaurant that everyone goes since they were kids with their parents... and I am no different. I go there oftenly (and have always gone) with my family, and this is the BEST meat in Rio! Only... More

When we arrived there there were about four waiters, leading us to the table, giving us menus and putting bread, bruschetta, olives etc etc on the table. We asked if that is included, if everyone got that but nobody replied us. It was all quite hectic until we found out this was a big appetizer-combo they wanted to sell us.... More

If you do not enjoy the "Rodizio" System (where they bring meat on a spit to all the tables), this is the place to go. Best cut of meat is the "Ponta da Picanha" – juicy, tender & tasty.

Last week I had a pleasant dinner at Majorica. Majorica, for those who know a bit about Rio is a famous Steakhouse in town. And indeed it is, one of the best ones for me, and I will explain why: 1) Majorica is very well located, in the heart of the traditional neighborhood of Flamengo. 2) The service is impeccable....
