Customer Reviews
Nice and cozy place. Service was great and food arrived very fast. I personally loved the bife ancho, provoleta and cheese puree. Loved these, however the parmigiana was not that good, it seemed overcooked and very crunchy. The menu is very simple, which I found amazing and they have many wine options. Also, as an opportunity area, the bathrooms need more cleaning.
Great place to eat good meat with the right ambiance and that bistro feeling.
Really lovely meal! The Ribeye was the best we’ve ever had. A very nice atmosphere and friendly service. We read a few comments about the staff not speaking English, but what do you expect if you’re in Brazil..?! It’s easy to muddle through the language barrier, and if you get stuck, simply use google translate. Very good value as well. Would recommend!!!
Really good food! We ordered different things on the menu, that we shared between two people. The only minus is, that they don’t know a single word of English. We asked the waiter if we could get two glasses of red wine instead of buying a whole bottle. We even used google translate, so he would understand, but he said that we needed to buy a whole bottle. Later in the evening we saw another table in the restaurant order two glasses of wine… A bit of a tourist scam!
