Came here 1/22/20 for dinner…read more I got the tartare royal and a bloody mary. It tasted really good. Bloody mary was spicy just how I like it. I loved the rock salt they put on the outside of the glass. The salmon tasted fresh and not fishy at all. We sat on the "patio" portion of the restaurant so we could people watch. Service was great and our waitress spoke english so that was helpful. If you are in the Ipanema area, its worth a stop in!

We had the trio cod appetizer which came with a sausage item that was absolutely delicious. The cod fritters/ball were fine but not amazing. We then ordered the pulpo & baked cod. Both were excellent! The baked cod was a huge portion and luckily we hadn't ordered more food and were able to finish it. Highly recommend!

On our fifth and final night in Rio, we decided to have dinner at a Portuguese restaurant called…read moreMercearia da Praça. It's a beautiful store/restaurant that specializes in Portuguese wines and foods. The interior is modern and classy, and the service was hands down the best we experienced in all of Rio. I ordered the Portuguese-style Filet Mignon, while my partner went with the seafood skewers. We also shared a bottle of red wine. Everything was absolutely excellent. The filet came with a rich Portuguese-style sauce or gravy and a side of house-made fries--such a great combination. This place was a perfect way to end our trip, and I highly recommend visiting this wonderful spot if you're in Ipanema!

Great spot for Brazilian-style dining. The meats were excellent, well cooked, flavorful, and…read moredefinitely the highlight of the experience. Service was also very good, attentive and friendly, and the overall atmosphere was lively and pleasant. The buffet had a decent selection, though it was a bit hit or miss. Personally I skipped the sushi, as the fish looked a little darker than expected. But maybe that's the colour of raw salmon in Brazil. Cocktails were very good, though they did come with quite a bit of ice. Parking on the street is very challenging, but you mainly come here on walk, since this area is quite touristy and offers many stores nearby.

My friends and I ended up eating at Carretao after took a nice bike ride from Sao Conrado to…read moreIpanema (highly recommend, btw). So we worked up an appetite and were ready to scarf down some meat. We were seated immediately and the waiter was quick to take our drink orders. I love how casual Rio is; people dining around us were in swim trunks and bikinis. So laid back--great vibes. The meats alone were pretty great, but the salad bar/buffet was a little underwhelming. I tried some sushi but it was not good. The sides that come to the table were also sub-par. I usually find myself munching on way too much bread because of how good it is, but that wasn't the case here. I really liked the steak with cheese and of course the picanha. Carretao is a great place for rodizio and the price isn't too bad. Though if I were back in Rio they wouldn't be my first choice.

The area is almost completely residential. The buffet is small and yet comprehensive, the caipirinhas are tasty and the food is delicious yet well priced.

NOTE: At the time of publishing, gloves and a mask were required while in the buffet area, only a limited number of people were allowed in the buffet area at once, and the tables were socially distanced for safety.

And the food? Top tier. My personal favorite was the Truta Grelhada, perfectly cooked and full of flavor every single time. I also have to shout out Fernando, easily one of the coolest, most genuine waiters I've come across. He really made my birthday experience special and went above and beyond to make it memorable. And you honestly can't beat the location...right across from Ipanema Beach, which just adds to the whole vibe. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Rio. Highly recommend checking this place out!
