We recently spent a week in Rio (having previously lived there for two years) and decided to try this restaurant on the strength of reviews appearing on TA. We did not have a starter and went straight for the steak (picanha) and fries. Both our steaks (one supposedly rare and one medium-rare) were tough, over-cooked, and tepid. The fries appeared...

Recommended by our concierge as a good mid range burger place nearby. I learnt later that the place is part of a chain but you wouldn't realise that as it is not obvious - it has nice decor which gives it a contemporary personality and a seating area outside. I had the cheeseburger and really enjoyed it, well cooked and... More

Our tour guide recommended this place as her favorite for salads but most especially for her favorite brownie. The salad was fine as was my husband's burger without the bun. (Burgers can be had with or without.) What wins the title of best dessert ever was indeed the warm brownie topped with a scoop of excellent vanilla ice cream covered... More

The staff here was incredibly welcoming and attentive. We were welcomed with smiles when we arrived and put at a table along the sidewalk where we got some great shiek people watching in. Our waiter was super attentive and spoke English very well. He actually apologized for his limited language skills - which blew my mind because I should have... More

Contrary to what one reviewer wrote we found the service to be quite good. The hamburger was better than 90% of what you can get in the US, primarily because the quality of the meat. The French fries were so good that they got eaten first. After I left the restaurant I realized I had not taken some medication. I... More

Loved the food, loved the service, loved the atmosphere! This place was the kind of place you could sit there all afternoon and see the world go by. Really enjoyed the fresh salad, the fresh juice and the espresso .... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! The staff were freindly and welcoming.

Food, cocktails, staff are all excellent. Seems like one of the places to be seen too with a chic clientele. Reasonable prices and if you cannot be seated straight away (it is not that big), it is worth waiting!
