Traditional, cosy, Portuguese and Brazilian gastronomy for a good time between friends with experienced and smiling waiters
This 1903 landmark restaurant is an oasis of calm and order, on a street of drunken disorder, with the cleanest restrooms in Lapa. An excellent assortment of Brazilian dishes, served by efficient waiters in white jackets. Croquettes de cabrito, bolinhos de Bacalho, and a tasty assortment of pastéis are offered as appetizers. The menu inludes a variety of steaks, seafood and lamb dishes. It is moderately priced, the beer is cold, the caipirinhas are strong, the atmosphere is friendly, not stuffy. In a neighborhood of loud bars, a quiet, clean place with helpful staff is greatly appreciated.
This place was recommend on Lonely Planet and through trip advisor, but it was very disappointing. I ordered the roasted piglet, instead received a fried and very dry slab of pork. Definitely not worth the price for what you are paying for. I think this place has probably seen better days. The next day I had stomach cramps most likely due to the very oily pork.
Came on a recommendation as the pork is supposed to be amazing but was disappointed. Pork was dry and sides were bland. Not worth the cost.
The lamb with broccoli rice is decent, but for $95 reais for a half portion, it's better to go down to Churrascaria Majorica and have a one of the best steaks you'll ever eat.
Traditional restaurant in Rio, serves a delicious rice with brocolli and lamb. A must-go in Lapa.
Excellent food and service. The octopus with broccoli rice is magnificent, just watch out for the fried garlic.
Really good food and service. Totally delicious.
Good food and atmosphere
