“ I was there in December, it was the fourth time going there. It’s the first place I go when I get to Rio. The first time was wonderful, as was the second one. But I was so disappointed last two times. The customer service got awful, the food doesn’t have the same quality, and flavor. The restroom, which is next to the kitchen, was disgusting, water and urine all over the place. I saw some cockroaches while eating outside, but I guess there is nothing they can do to prevent it. If you are going for a drink, go for it! Their caipirinha and caipirosca are the best so far! Pick a seriguela one and you enjoy yourself! Food used to be delicious, but last time it was greasy and indigestible, and they didn’t have half of the menu. You can do better, guys! Hope to check this place again, and see some positive changes next time I’m there. ”
“ Good place and service. Offering a delicious vegetarian feijoada! ”
“ Lovely spot with seating on leafy wide sidewalk or inside. Excellent service, relatively cheap prices and delicious food. I had the pumpkin ginger shrimp soup. A revelation. Also had the classic aipim and carne de sol- delish Will return. ”
