The burrata with that homemade crostini was seriously good&mdash;so creamy and fresh. Mushroom risotto was tasty too, though I wish the portion was a bit bigger.

Been here a few times before heading to Maracan&atilde;. The beef rib pie never disappoints. Gets super crowded on game days, but that&#39;s expected. Staff still managed to be helpful.

Been coming here for over 8 years&mdash;the shrimp dishes are consistently excellent, and the service stays friendly. Prices are reasonable for the quality and portion sizes.

Buffet had a solid mix of salads and meats, price felt fair for what you get. Service was friendly too.

Been coming here for a while now, mostly for the weekday lunch. Portions are solid and the food&#39;s always consistent. That iced tea with red orange though, that&#39;s the reason I keep ordering it. Nice to have a spot you can count on without thinking too much about it.

Small spot in Leblon, good vibe for a Tuesday night. Had the skewers, pretty tasty. Not a fancy place but does the job. Fine if you&#39;re in the area and wanna grab a beer.

Stopped by for a quick bite and honestly the cod fritters are the reason to come. Crispy outside, soft inside, just salty enough. Had one with a cold draft beer and that combo hit the spot. Place gets busy around lunch but it&#39;s worth squeezing in. Nothing fancy, just solid food done right.

The food was creative and the place has a nice vibe. We were a big group and the staff stayed friendly the whole night. A bit pricey, but I left satisfied.

Fresh salad bowls, made my own with what I wanted. Ingredients were fresh and service was quick. Good spot for a workday lunch, nothing fancy but it works.

The duck was really good &mdash; crispy skin, juicy inside. We waited about 45 minutes but honestly it was fine. Also tried the duck ravioli, which I wasn&#39;t expecting much from but it ended up being pretty solid. Place was a bit cramped though, tables are close together. Not the most comfortable seating but the food made up for it.

The chicken croquettes were tasty and the draft beer was ice cold. Prices felt fair for what you got. Pork rinds and farofa needed more salt though.

Great vibe with the live band playing. Brahma on tap hit the spot. Prices are a bit steep but you&#39;re paying for the atmosphere, I guess.

The shrimp soup here is the real deal. Big bowl, loaded with shrimp, and the price was fair for what you got. I left full, which doesn&#39;t happen often. Place was packed, but that&#39;s a good sign. If you&#39;re in Rio and want something authentic without breaking the bank, this is it. Just go early to beat the rush.

Stopped by for lunch near the VLT station, pretty quiet spot. Got the eggplant gratin, tasted like something homemade. Solid choice if you&#39;re around and want a chill break. Nothing fancy but it hit the spot.

Decent spot. I came back a few times while I was in the area. Staff handled a mix-up with my order pretty fast, even though my Portuguese is shaky. Portions are generous, which I appreciated. Food was fine, nothing mind-blowing, but it did the job. Maybe a bit busy around lunch, but that&#39;s on me for the timing.

The live music really sets the vibe here. It gets packed on weekends, but the staff still manages to stay friendly. Good spot if you don&#39;t mind the crowd. 🎶

The grilled chicken with farofa and vinaigrette hit the spot&mdash;simple but tasty. Wish they had a better wine option though, beer felt like the only real choice here. Solid spot for a casual, cheap meal. 🍗

The lomo saltado here was legit &mdash; really well seasoned and the portion was huge. Friendly service too. Just wish they had a bit more seating, place got packed fast.

Came for the view and honestly stayed for the whole vibe. Ocean right there, food simple but done right. Staff spoke English which made things easy for us. Good spot if you&#39;re hanging with friends and want something chill. Just wish they had a bit more dessert options 😅

Had dinner here with friends and the service was super attentive without being pushy. Our waiter even helped us pick dishes when we couldn&#39;t decide. Place got a bit loud later but still a solid spot for hanging out 😊

Nice fresh ingredients in the salads, exactly what I look for. Portions are decent and the fish tasted really fresh. Right by the beach, so the vibe helps.

Steak was solid, cooked exactly as asked. Crowded as always, but that&rsquo;s expected. My wine pairing worked well with the ribeye, though I wish they had a couple more options by the glass. Service kept up fine despite the rush. A bit loud for my taste, but I&rsquo;d still come back for the meat. 🥩

The seafood was really fresh &mdash; oysters and grilled fish were the highlights. I also liked the tiradito with herbs, that one surprised me. Cocada for dessert was a nice way to end. Service was friendly and the seating comfortable, so I didn&rsquo;t feel rushed. Just a heads up, it can get a bit noisy when it fills up. But overall a pleasant spot.

The rooftop view is fantastic, but service was pretty slow even for simple orders. Food was decent though, I&#39;d come back just for the scenery.

The Canastra cheese cream appetizer was really good, and the sweet potato gnocchi with gorgonzola and filet mignon came in a big portion, full of flavor. The receptionist and the chef were both friendly and made me feel comfortable. I just wish the place wasn&#39;t so busy when I went, but it was a nice meal overall.

Great spot to check out Brazilian wines. Owner really knows their stuff and helped me pick something I actually liked. Nice to see bottles from different regions in one place.

The place has a nice vibe and the menu is pretty big. I went for the pasta instead of pizza and honestly it was solid. Salads looked fresh too. Prices are fair for what you get. Space is clean, which I always notice. Just wish they had a bit more seating, got a little cramped around lunchtime.

The breakfast buffet here runs R$91, which feels fair for what you get. Lots of Brazilian staples, fresh fruit, and they&#39;ll make you an omelet or tapioca on the spot. I went heavy on the tapioca with cheese, paired it with a decent house coffee. The view from the top is the real draw, makes the whole thing feel slower, more relaxed. Service was fine, nothing special, but I wasn&#39;t in a rush.

The AC in there was a lifesaver after walking around in that heat. Waiters were on top of things, friendly without hovering. I had the cod and it was cooked right, flaky and moist. Salmon was solid too. Dessert though, kinda meh, nothing special. Stick to the mains and you&#39;re good.

Been coming here for a while now. The vegetarian options are solid and the price is fair. Still one of my go-to spots when I want something healthy.
