If you are looking for a kilo place to get lunch, this would be a good option. Their pricing per…read morekilo is a little on the higher end, but they have a good variety of food. There is a grill section for meats and also offer chicken and fish on their hot buffet area. A large salad bar area as well. The only downfall is that the seating is limited considering the large groups that go for lunch there. Usually you see big groups celebrating birthdays, taking advantage of the long tables ideal for groups of 10 or more. The waiters and managers do try to assist if you have a big group, so let them know as you enter and they can try to reserve you a table while you are getting food. If you are interested in trying this place out during peak lunch hours, aim to reach there before 12noon or perhaps after 1pm.

As a traveler from the states I wasnt crazy about this place. It was edible but I wont ever go…read moreback. The flavors lacked for me. And maybe its cause im used to certain seasonings being from the states. But I feel like ive had better Brazilian experiences in the U.S. would I go a 2nd time? No. But would i go and relive my first visit eating there? Yes! It was a real authentic Brazilian experience and I wouldnt ever take back experiencing that! Also... maybe its just a thing U.S people arent used to...? but you really have to ask for your meal check otherwise youll be waiting around for longer when your ready to leave. But I think this has to be a cultural thing cause it happened everywhere in brazil. But just ask and they will cash you out. Nobody was ever rude to me for when I said I was ready to pay.

This is a per kilo restaurant (buffet and they weigh your plate). There was some great options and we came at the end of lunch time. Extremely varied, local vegan dishes and the nicest falafels and bean patties! Highly recommended for a good and discreet meal!

I came here for lunch on Friday, and I have to say it is leagues above most per kilo buffet places…read moreI have experienced here in Brazil. In other places, the meat especially can be quite dry and usually has been sitting out for a while. Here, they keep the platters small and are continually restocking them, so the food you get is very fresh. On Fridays at lunch, they serve a free small caipirinha at the door :P The building is a beautiful old historic downtown Rio building. I don't want to pretend to know exactly how old it is, but it is very elegant and well-restored. You can also sit outside on the street if you would like to. In addition to having a great atmosphere and really good food, this places has really good prices as well. You can expect to pay between R$15 and R$25 for your plate, depending on how hungry you are.

in a small alley off of a busy street, this place is a great getaway for lunch! highly recommended…read more it's a buffet and you pay by weight. there's also freebies (i think daily) sometimes it's caipirinhas (!!) but when I went, it was creamy lentil soup (SO GOOD). free really nice (dark roast - at least when i went) coffee and tea they have outdoor seating and 2 floors of indoor seating. you can also get food in a takeaway box. If you choose to do a takeaway box and think you're getting away with a lower weight, you're not because they'll just put your box on a plate when weighing. if eating in, you pay after you eat nice fresh salad options, great seafood options (octopus, fish, crab) and great meat options (grilled chicken, perfectly cooked medium well steaks. there's definitely something for everyone! buffets usually aren't my thing because i think they tend to focus on quantity over quality, but this buffet is an exception! also wide variety of drink selection we were a group of 4 and each plates turned out to be $R18-22 (~$7 USD with a ~3 exchange rate) friendly and beautiful staff!
