Wonderful Brazilian Steakhouse with very attentive staff in Barra Beach (about 25-30 minutes from…read moreCopacabana). The options of meat include, but are not limited to: -ribeye -chicken thighs -chick hearts -lamb -beef shoulder They also have a host of starchy Brazilian side dishes and salads. Luckily they have an iPad that has an English menu. Overall the meat was very flavorful, of course I went for all the ribeye I could eat. They have 3 meat temperature , rare, medium, done. The medium was more medium rare for us on the Northern Plain. The dessert was also delicious. I would definitely recommend and go back. Some of the waiters spoke english, but not many.

The food, the food, the food. I'm still talking about how the meats were how I didn't even have to chew because it was so tender. I wish this was a place j could visit often but since I can't make sure you try it out yourself.

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.

I came here to grab dinner and it was a great choice. The all you can eat steak is amazing, I…read morepersonally just like the picanha but there were some others that were delicious as well. 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.

Compared to the states they had different items at the bar that we usually see at fogo in the states. For one they have one or 2 extra types of smoked fish. They had different fruit offerings like dragon fruit kiwi and grapes. Didn't get the prosciutto since it did have a few fruit flies on it. There were different offerings of meat compared to the states. The beef rib is definitely better than Houston's. The best was probably the prime rib or ribeye steak. The cheese balls were definitely different they are fried. The service was very attentive even for English speakers. The picanha steak could be better. Overall excellent. The dessert was delicious.

Our server was very patient and tried his best. The food was good, with all at the table enjoyed their meal. The sides were served family style and the portions were large. The restaurant is located on third floor of a popular shopping mall. We sat in the mall area (opposed to inside the restaurant) so the noise level was a little loud, but conversation could easily happen. Will definitely dine here again.

Ordered the Ojo de Bife cut, medium rare, with 2 sides--puff potatoes and rice. Steak was very good, though not the best I've had in Rio. A little pricy for Rio at $63 US (R$ 343) with a soda and tip. They did have a nice jazz duo entertaining us during lunch on a Saturday afternoon which added to the overall pleasant experience.

I tried it and I will not return. I am still searching for the best picanha. The sausage starter was unimaginative and could be better executed. The sliced porterhouse was overcooked.

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.

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.
