So this place is good but not worth the price. Kind of like rio in general these days but I digress. Being rated best meat place by veja magazine like 10 years in a row has turned this place into the quintessential American business man expense account restaurant. And management knows this. Hence the obscene prices. Have you ever paid... More

We were most unimpressed by Esplanada Grill after dining there. I'm not sure there are any positives to comment on. The tacky house music which was played in the background, the presentation of the food was very average, our dessert came out into a square bowl which looked like a thousand island dressing! The entrees were appalling, very rubbery calamari,... More

Shall you wish to eat tasty grilled meat but do not like the rodizio ambiance, try the Esplanada Grill. Good location, at a corner, close to the shopping area of Ipanema? My choice ever goes to a nice peace of rare grilled meat ao sal grosso with the delicious in house mixed salad as a side dish. My recommendation :... More

Esplanada is a good alternative to the all you can eat churrasco restaurants in Rio (Porcaos, etc..). My tips are: Do not overeat the couvert, which is composed of delicious paos de queijo (cheesy breads) plus pate, butter, etc... because the portions are very large! We ordered the picanha fatiada which at R$ 76 is relatively expensve but more than... More

Traditional steakhouse by menu (different from the buffet rotation system of major BBQ restaurants), located on a corner in the residential part of Ipanema. Perhaps a good option if you want to eat meat in a refined atmosphere, with polite and good attention. Offers good meat dishes, but the price for that is high. I don´t think it was a... More

very smart grill restaurant with smartly dressed waiters. not a holiday type place . my wife was the only woman there. lots of expense account men in twos and fours having dinner. meat and service were good, but I STRONGLY OBJECT TO THE TABLE BEING LOADED WITH BREAD AND DIPS AND CARROT BATONS AND TWO SALADS ARRIVING UNASKED AND A...

Everything is good but not wonderful. The meat is great but not fantastic. If you want a good meat try Porcao. The price is exhorbitant - R$ 150,00 per person - with no alchoolic beverage - it's not worth it. More
