We ate here 3 times during our 10 day trip to Rio! It’s just that good. Each time we went for the picanha and had some delicious caipirinhas on the side. The picanha is incredible value and comes with sides - too much for 2 people almost! Would serve 3 easily. Meat is cooked perfectly.
By far the best steak we had in Brazil!! Picanha is unforgettable!! The waiter didn’t ask how we wanted the steak but it came out perfect!
Bem cheio, mas ligeiro. Meu prato foi a picanha para 2 e não demorou nem 20 minutos, como de oraxe a bebida foi servida, a carne chegou quente e os acompanhamentos logo depois, almocei muito bem! Tudo bem quente e fresquinho, beeeem servido! Garçom bem experiente, simpático, ágil! Carne macia e saborosa, farofa com cada pedaço enorme de banana que dava água na boca. Excelente
Restaurante cheio, demoramos cerca de 1h30 para liberar as mesas num domingo no almoço, é bem lotado e as mesas são bem próximas. A comida é extremamente saborosa, facilmente a melhor picanha que eu comi, o ponto perfeito e num preço muito justo. O prato da facilmente para 3 pessoas com muita fome ou 4 pessoas pedindo uma entrada. Garçons cordiais e experiência ótima.
