I went to this restaurant the first time probably 25 years ago! The food is still amazing and it was a lovely surprise to see Rodrigo, the chef, the owner, there! I even bought a book about the history of the restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant and try to arrive early because it can get really busy!
An authentic Northeastern Brazilian experience. The house caldo is rich, gelatinous and delicious; the mandioca was soft and buttery and all the pesticos were on point. Wished we could fit dessert but we were happily full of food.
Um restaurante animado, colorido, vivo, a cara do melhor do Brasil! O melhor, claro, é a típica comida sertaneja, saborosa!!
provavelmente um dos lugares que mais frequentei durante toda minha vida, já foi melhor, confesso, mas ainda é bom pra cacete.
