On the food we tried Cassava crisp , lord all mighty was this good, great combo w the meat & the cassava.

This place seems to be very popular, we tried to come back another day but the wait was too long & we just didn't have the time to spare otherwise we would have waited. Nice looking place inside, we sat outside where they have a nice set up service is great they are very attentive, prices are reasonable & the food was delicious for sure worth the try.

Honorable mentions: Shredded Beef Rice- was delicious. Rice cooked to perfection and the beef had amazing flavor. Joaquina's picadinho- beef was a salty for my taste but flavors were delicious. Tapioca Shrimp- these were sooo good appetizers. Good size shrimps and the flavors were delicious. Pasteis (shrimp)- delicious! Came with 2 smaller empanada-type pastries. We wanted to order Pork Rinds and Mini Shrimp Burgers but ran out early that day. We ate around 8 pm so go earlier if you want to try. Definitely a great culinary experience.

My cousin and I decided to eat at Galeto Sat's because Anthony Bourdain highly recommended it. Long…read morestory short, totally worth it. If you're in Rio go get yourself some chicken. It is VERY popular and I'm sure being recommended by Bourdain has a lot to do with it. The first time we tried to eat there the wait was over an hour long. We went sometime after 1AM and there was still a decent wait, maybe close to 30 minutes. The place is pretty small and cramped, but that gives it some charm. Somehow that makes the food taste even better. We ordered a little bit of everything and it was all amazing. Chicken, steak, fries, garlic bread, polenta. It was all cooked and seasoned to perfection. Everything we ordered was delicious Service was fair and prices are reasonable. Do yourself a favor and visit Galeto Sat's!

The fries were served hot but did not have any seasoning. The rice was ok. The service lacked somewhat but could be due to a language barrier.

I was a bit nervous about venturing into a favela (chalk it up to being mentally stuck in the era…read moreof "City of God"), but when a carioca casually asked if I'd seen the view from Babilonia yet, I realized my perception of the favelas was probably not accurate. I'm glad my misconception was corrected, because Bar do David was 101% worth the trip - it *doesn't* have a view, but we did have one of the best meals of our trip. Our favorite was the ribs with pineapple salsa, which were perfectly charred and fell off the bone. We also had a completely beautiful seafood salad and some croquettes with carne seca, plus a couple very tasty drinks. I can't recommend it enough!

Quite surprised to see that they have a food truck, swimming pool, spa the lounge with killer views.
