I love the place and the food!!The only thing is that the menu should be translated to English or even Spanish for easier ordering :)

Last night in Rio and I wanted to come check this place out. The patio was closed, but the food was amazing. Came on in a Tuesday plenty of room and service was great. Maybe avoid on busy weekend, and come during the week. The service was attentive, and I asked for recommendations. Glad I came here, will come back again when in Rio …

Excellent restaurant with wide range of options, food and drinks, including vegetarian. Weel chair accessible. The space is beautifully decorated and it is a former "cortiço" a typical popular accommodation of 19th century. Worth visiting and enjoying beers and costela dish.

Excellent place to eat - still our best meal in Rio to date! The waiter spoke excellent English (the best we’ve encountered yet in the city) and was very friendly and polite, the food was absolutely excellent and the atmosphere was great - we wish we’d eaten there for all our subsequent meals which were a disappointment in comparison! They have a lovely courtyard in the back. Highly recommend!!

Super nice place with cozy patio on the backyard. Great food, looked good and tasted delicious. Totally recommended! We had Bobó de Camarão, bolinho de feijoada and pudding (all 3 were perfect)

We walked here after visiting Escadaria Selarón which is close by. Feijoada was delicious!
