My friend and I popped in for a quick cocktail. We love gin so this place was perfect for us. Our server wrote mine as a plain G&T when he took our order (even tho I ordered one of the cute, fruity drinks), but he had the drink remade right away. Sexy, relaxed atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating. The food looks great too! I would definitely come back.

The vibrant flavors of Brazilian cuisine danced on the palate. Each dish was a work of art, carefully crafted and beautifully presented. The attentive staff anticipated every need, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. From the freshest ingredients to the impeccable service, the dining experience was truly exceptional. Only photo i took was the Glilled Palmito, but Memories of the exquisite seafood stir-fry still linger, a testament to the chef's skill. A return visit is definitely in order, to further explore the menu and savor the ambiance. Next time, more photos will be taken to capture the culinary artistry. This restaurant is highly recommended for anyone seeking an unforgettable Brazilian dining experience.

Natural food. Very good quality on everything. Food, wine, cocktails. This is also the restaurant to get healthy food, vegetarian, low carb and more. Very friendly and serviceminded staff. Wonderful atmosphere. Not too loud. My favorite Rio place for having the perfect lunches/ brunches.

So tasty, had the beef tartare which was super fresh. Have a huge healthy menu (or not so if you’re looking!) And you cannot miss out on the grilled banana, so tasty, and not too heavy. Excellent service, very friendly waiters, will be coming back often!
