Heard about this place because a friend of mine told me that the pizza here is great!…read more This nice place in Flamengo is dedicated to Argentina, specifically to Tango. They serve empanadas, pizzas, Quilmes (argentinian beer) and the chopp is from Stella Artois (not argentinian, but good, refreshing). The empanadas are pretty good, I've tried one that comes with sausage, provolone cheese and chimichurri (a typical sauce... I'm not sure if it is from Uruguai or Argentia, though), but one is not enough to satisfy a hungry person! I did not tried the pizza, but it was looking good... they make it in a wood-burning stove.... I'll definitely coming back SOON to try that! They have individual pizzas as well as for two, and the price orbits around 20 to 40 reais (the empanadas were 7 reais). The ambient is very good, there are some tables in the street and some on the interior. If you are by Flamengo, you should definitely check this place! I'll update the review after I try the pizza hehe UPDATE: Ok, the pizza is good indeed, nice ingredients with a thin crust... but I think it's too expensive! 30 reais for an individual pizza... I think that worth it if you go with someone else and order the 2-person pizza. Otherwise... well, just order Domino's and you'll be fine

The best part is the white paper covering the tables where you can draw pictures while waiting. I spent a lot of time here when I was staying in Santa Teresa. By the end of my stay, the lady who works there (and she was ALWAYS there, though I forget her name) always knew what I wanted: sandwich de frango. Man, I miss this place.

Ribs, among other things, were ordered and what arrives at your table is not like anything ever served in the states. A massive pile of individual ribs thrown on a plate...not a rack. It has zero flavor and the quality of meat is hideous! Steak is typical dry flavorless Brazilian meat. Fried chicken was pretty good as were the pasteis and stuff but its impossible to screw that up. Don't risk your life trying to "eat where the locals eat". It's totally not worth it here.

Churrascaria Cruzeiro do Sol is a sort of basic Brazilian Steakhouse when compared to Churrascaria…read morePalace or other options. As with most other reviews mention, our stop here was for lunch on a day tour that was included in the price of the tour package. Every other group of diners also appeared to have been there in that capacity. Cruzeiro definitely felt almost like a cafeteria, with super white walls, tables, and decor. There is a swimming pool outside, that I am not sure what it's connected to, so that was odd. They did have the normal steakhouse Gauchos walking around with spokes of meats and food, and there were some side items in the middle of each table to share among the diners. Aside from the ambiance not being as upscale as other steakhouses we tried in Rio, the quality of meats also wasn't quite as top notch as the others either. Some were pretty fatty and others were sort of flavorless. I apologize sort of for comparing this to other highly acclaimed Brazilian Steakhouses, but it's hard to be impressed with Cruzeiro do Sol after trying those others. After reading other reviews, it appears that this steakhouse exists solely for the use of tours to offer a "lunch" option as part of the package. I would save your money (about $35 USD if you eat there outside of a tour) and eat elsewhere. Churrascaria Palace was only a tad bit more than that, and the ambiance and service there was ten times higher quality than that of Churrascaria Cruzeiro do Sol.
