It was more expensive than most of the meals we had in Rio but it was worth it, as it was one of my favorite meals during my trip. I ordered the Arroz Carioca which was soooo good.

Outdoor seating today though was a definite plus, granted you're on a secondary road behind the main drag on Copacabana beach. We had picanha ao braseiro which is a kidney shaped steak with some fat - no complaints. It was a perfect medium with salt crystals that occasionally explodes in your mouth for that extra flavor. For 162 Brazilian Real(currency) for two people, it's a good deal. It came with diced tomatoe and onions a perfect offset. Happy I came here.

The feel is very authentic and I enjoyed pouring over the menu, however the food took over an hour to be prepared even though we were the only customers in the restaurant. I ordered their signature dish (Amazonian fish wrapped in leaves). Unfortunately, there were only a few bites of fish. The rest was kasava, which is not my favorite. The leaves didn't add much in the way of flavor. The drinks we're fine but oversweetened. There were a few bright spots. The banana veggie curry was unexpectedly good and different than anything I've tasted and they make a good ceviche.

Located in the much quieter area of Santa Teresa but near the best bar scene (if you like less club more grunge) in the city in Lapa, it is essentially the opposite of one of the big steak houses you will probably also eat at (and should by the way). We became close friends with a guy that "sort of" works there named Diego who hung out with us in Lapa afterward and showed us a side of the city that we would never had seen. Enjoy!
