Description: The Carretão is much more than a steak house. Located in Ipanema, it is a reference in barbeque carvery and gastronomy, which combines quality, variety and service. The carefully selected ingredients are the raw material of Carretão's success. The irresistible menu gathers meats of all kinds, hot food, salads, antipasti and buffet of Japanese food. In addition, the staff of gourmets, maitres and waiters is always ready to offer you the best service. This makes our personalized service a unique differential. It is no wonder that those who go to the Carretão are always smiling.

We ate at this Brazilian steakhouse twice because the food was so good. The first time we came it was 9pm and we noticed that there were not many options for the buffet but there was enough meat to make us happy! The second time it was 100x better. There were an unlimited amount of options. The meal and drinks are pricey, however, it is well worth it.

One of the best places in Rio, this restaurant is very upscale with excellent food choices and service. Steps away between Impanema and Copacobana it is a traveller's paradise if you are looking for a great place with local flair and bilingual speaking staff. The cold bar is delicious and includes multiple salad choices as well as soup. The meats were delicious and well cooked with minimal season for picky eaters with diet restrictions. Overall on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being superior, definitely a 15.

After a few visits .. I got to take my dad to Rio and he love it! He literally said "ate so much and so good and he could die right there of satisfaction" well I didn't like he saying that but it's awesome that he had so much fun eating.
Great experience, fun service and not to pushy, lots of options .. And the banana it's to die for!
