France has Cassoulet. Brazil double dog dares with Fejoada (fay-zzzhwa-dah)…read more I asked the hotel receptionist where to go for Fejoada. She pointed me to Bolinha. It is the weekend and the ubiquitous Brazilian dish is their signature buffet. So everything came to the table! The 10 cuts of meat include bacon, pork chop, oxtail, pig ear, beef tongue, linguica, brisket, ham hock, and pork knuckles. The broth is brimming with collagen--so they offer salsa, hot sauce, and fresh orange slices to resuscitate your palette. Thicken the broth with toasted nut flour if you wish. There's fried sweet banana and yucca, pork rinds and crispy bacon on the side, perfect rice and shredded collard greens. Assuage your guilt with shots of house caipirinha. Think a sweeter margarita on the rocks... The very patient and sweet maitre'd offered me dessert. He's thinks he is so funny! While I have no reference to compare this example to others as it was my first taste of Fejoada, the standard is set immensely high. Not cheap at R150 total bill ($40). But this memory has been seared indelibly into my food coma'd brain. And now I understand why they have such a light dinner. Time for a siesta to recover. !!!

I went on a Friday night and had to wait about 45 minutes as the place was jam packed with people lined outside the door. You know it's a good spot when locals are willing to wait. Lucky for me, I was in no rush. Put your name on the list and wait it out. The prices are ridiculously reasonable so I tried: - Tonkatsu ramen (15 reals) - Pork gyoza (10 reals) This is a great spot if you're craving ramen. Delicious, authentic and cheap.

Upon walking in, the establishment is bright and smartly decorated. Behind the bar, you can see the ramen chefs working their magic into each bowl. The ramen itself is decently priced (definitely cheaper than the US!), though I was a little disappointed that their tonkotsu ramen wasn't really made from tonkotsu broth, but rather, it was salt or soy based. That being said, it was more than enough to satisfy my ramen craving.

Everything from kimchee to tofu and more. The spacious restaurant is equipped with BBQ tables - the kind that allow you to cook your meat tabletop and while we opted for the already prepared galbi, next time I'l order the meat to cook ourselves. The Doenjang Jjigae soup we ordered was also good and paired nicely with the soju and beer (sadly they don't have Korean beer). I'll certainly be back.

Missing the broth-y delight…read more Kei is a nice looking restaurant in a mall. We got here soon after opening at 6pm and service was friendly and quick. The doses of sakê were huge! The (Nabeyaki) Udon had a bunch of quality and tasty ingredients but ... So. Little. Broth!!! You tell me, what's an Udon without some quality broth-slurping after finishing the chopstick part? Yeah, I don't know either. Don't get me wrong, it was tasty, but without the brothy delight. Also, we found it odd that we had to pay for the 2 tiny starters that were placed on our table. Had we known these unrequested appetizers were *not* on the house (like a miso soup in most sushi places) we would have gladly payed a bit more and ordered something we would have actually enjoyed; like an edamame or a gyoza.

Loved the unique take on some of the dishes. For example, feijoada in spheres. They integrated many uniquely Brazilian ingredients and flavors. There was a good variety of dishes and ingredients.

First off, this is legit Thai. The dishes are authentic and delicious. They have wonderful cocktails. They have lots of vegetarian options!!! We frequented this restaurant several time during our stay in Brasil. The food was always delicious, though the service would range from fabulous to nonexistent. A few times my veggie tom kha soup had to be sent back because it arrived with chicken in it. (And trust me, we ordered in Portuguese.) However, despite the occasional mistakes, and the occasional rude server, we still loved the restaurant. They have great lunch specials as well! A must try if you love Thai.

I am big fan of Thai food and was really looking forward to those bold flavors. The experience was nice but nothing special. My husband and I decided to go back this weekend so I could determine if maybe it was just the chef that night that didn't deliver what was expected. Honestly the environment is so relaxing it's hard not to want to dine here. We tried to order the lamb curry and they "were out". We thought okay this is opportunity to order some completely different plates. We ordered the duck curry and efu noodles. The food arrived and the curry looked and smelled delicious, as soon as we took our first bite we both agreed it was lacking that tangy kick , it had the spice but nothing else, barely even any flavor. We were surprised because it smelled so good! We asked for lime and salt to add ourselves which made it much better. The noodles were so so and overall I was a disappointed and we probably won't be coming back but I will say the restaurant is beautiful, relaxing, and romantic and the staff is very warm and helpful. They just need to get a chef that contributes to the wonderful setup they have there.
