The menu is diverse and caters to different tastes. Stand out dishes: I enjoyed the lavender lemonade. Seitan baits with korean sauce had perfect crunch and it was my first time trying out seitan. Tofu with sesame crust with black rice. It was my first time having black rice but it paired really well with smoky tofu. The texture was great! Compared to the above dishes, i felt aromatic Burmese rice didn't stand out as much. Same with the batata rustica. These classic dishes were good however the menu has so many other interesting choices that might be fun to explore and taste great!

Pretty good system - There's an entrance fee. You then receive a card which you must present to any server to order food and drinks.

Best cocktail bar we've visited in Rio…read more All the cocktails we had were really good. TLV2 was our favorite if you want a more fruity acidic drink with a nice foam. Trans-siberian express was the best if you're looking for a creamy chocolatey drink. Waiter spoke flawless English and they had English menus. No AC. They have an outside area in the shade. It's actually a pretty good spot. There might be mosquitoes at night, but they offer repellent.

This place gets full on a Saturday night so we made sure we grabbed a table before it became impossible. We ordered a good mix of things to taste them all the cheese and meat plate came with a variety of each (3) though they didn't explain what exactly was on it. They ranged from harder to softer cheese each quite distinct. It was accompanied by some bread that also had good flavor to it. We tried each of the 6 different types of bruschetta: goat cheese with fig and honey, classic with tomato and basil, mushroom with melted Brie, shredded duck, gorgonzola with arugula and nuts. They had a bean one but later told us they were out so we doubled up on the classic. All were impressively good with decent bread. I would say there are better then Prima. The bolinhos arancini we tried were also decent, one with shrimp another with meat and the third with mushroom. The caipirinhas here are good too and they have my favorite cachaça, Leblon.

Three stars only because of lack of availability of items on the menu (as we only discovered once…read morewe tried to order them). The items we were able to order, however, were delicious. The place does seem to be targeted toward those wanting cocktails and tapas, but they have some entree type choices too. I didn't get to order a cocktail though because they had Jeffrey, one of my favorite beers here. The place is clearly popular among locals and there is always a crowd, inside and out. As I mentioned earlier, if the place had everything they listed, or at least if the waiter told us what wasn't available, I would have given the place 4 stars.

I went with a party of 15 or so and everyone was very happy with their meal.

The food is wonderful. The filler mignon was perfectly cooked. The gnocchi was perfectly cooked. Every sauce was decadent. Even the seemingly simple falafel and humus plate was nearly next level. You'd be hard pressed to find food this good at this price. The drinks are also good, but there needs to be coordination in flavor between the kitchen and bar. The drinks and food don't compliment one another, but individually they're great. If they can bridge the gap they're a next level establishment. Until then they're "only" great. Service staff is attentive and helpful. They do speak English and accept credit card. You don't need reservations if you arrive as they open or shortly after.

Vim num sábado à tarde e me ofereceram o cardápio de Brunch. Escolhi o pão de queijo com linguiça + arroz jamabalaya + pão com ovo, bacon, queijo e curry. Tudo muito gostoso. O mais sem graça era o pão com ovo, mas ainda assim gostoso. Curto muito o ambiente, o estilo, as comidinhas. É um ambiente pequeno, então não comporta bem grupos muito grandes. Mas pra grupinhos menores é simplesmente perfeito pra petisquetes e bebidinhas. À noite sempre tem uma espera, mas o staff é super educado e atencioso, e você pode esperar lá fora saboreando os drinks e comidinhas. Super recomendo.

We stopped at Meza Bar for a few cocktails, and we ended up trying almost the entire 'Caips' cocktail menu. Between the four of us, we had five out of the six cocktail offerings! The best part about all of this was that if you're not wanting alcohol in your beverage, you have the option of having coconut water or soda water instead! For the alcohol options, you can choose cachaça but also Ciroc/Ketel One/Smirnoff vodka or sake. I wish we could have stayed here longer. Our server spoke English and gave us some great recommendations for our drinks! I HIGHLY recommend coming here for drinks if you're around Botafogo!
