The first floor is mainly for relaxing and watching soccer with a beer, there is an upstairs which has tables and is better if you're going in for a meal. When I first read the menu I wasn't sure if it was French or German, and quickly learned that the confusion stems from the fact that the chef lived in Alsace, France for 25 years (she speaks fluent French, and will probably come to your table to say hi) and that region is famous for its mix of German/French cultures. My friend and I shared the bolinho de queijo especial francês which was delicious and came with a spicy pepper jelly. We also shared the Filé Wellington, which is intended for two people but could probably serve three. The Wellington was perfectly cooked (Gordon Ramsey would be proud) to medium-rare. It had foie gras on the inside, which really added to the flavor. This dish comes with a salad, French fries, a zucchini thing (I'm sorry but I don't remember what it was called, but it was delicious!), and garlic rice. Normally I don't like rice but kept eating it this time... They also have an excellent selection of beer, including lots of Brazilian craft IPA. If you're a beer fan, you could easily stop in and just have a brew or two and relax. Overall I was very happy with the experience and will definitely go back to try some of the other menu items - the sausages sound really great, it's hard to find good German sausages around here.

Locate inside Shopping Village Mall, an upscale expanse located in the Barra da Tijuca neighborhood, it is above stores including Louis Vuitton and Gucci that guests will find a collection of Restaurants with SAL at its center, the interior featuring an open kitchen and artistic flourishes while the more popular "patio" looks out on passers-by and the entrance to a nearby movie theater. One of three locations, the other two in São Paulo, it is beginning at noon that guests are greeted at the podium branded with skull-and-cross-utensils, service of the formal yet pleasant variety and English-fluent, but at times a bit pushy as relates to recommendations. Incorporating Amazonian Ingredients and classic technique into a wide variety of plates, several featured in Fogaça book "A Hardcore Chef" it was declining SAL's Couvert that four plates were ordered, Staffs' urging that this was "too much" hardly accurate as the Appetizer consisted of three small slices of Cheese griddled and paired with halved-Grapes plus Sugar Cane Syrup. Serving a surprising amount of Wine and Spirits during Lunch-hour, a man who seemed to be the General Manager inquiring thrice if guests would like something besides Water, it was shortly after Cheese was finished that a sizable plate of Gnocchi was presented, the dish embodying Chef Fogaça's informal yet provocative approach and each Dumpling feather-light but buttery atop complex Wild Boar Ragu. Told to save room for Dessert, at least four items appealing and two requested even though the server *insisted* one would be enough, suffice it to say not a single bite went unfinished between crispy French Toast bathed in Whiskey Custard beneath Pineapple and a dainty cloud of Guava with streaks of Jam that paired nicely to Whipped Cream Cheese a la Brazil's famous Romeu e Julieta.

The filet mignon was seasoned in butter and other stuff so it wasnt my favorite. There no menu here so it's basically all you can eat steak and what they have at the salad bar. The salad bar had pork, cod and other options as well. I got th sea bass and thought it was delicious. I saw the waiter walk around with some sausage I think but he didn't come to my table. The owner of the place or manager used a translator app to ask me questions from Portuguese to English. The price is very reasonable here and the service is top notch. The only issue I had was flagging down someone to get the check since it took a while for the manager or owner to come. Their machine will show you the R price and the price in US dollars. I didn't have the option to leave tip so I don't know if that's already added in.
