The menu is diverse and caters to different tastes. Stand out dishes: I enjoyed the lavender lemonade. Seitan baits with korean sauce had perfect crunch and it was my first time trying out seitan. Tofu with sesame crust with black rice. It was my first time having black rice but it paired really well with smoky tofu. The texture was great! Compared to the above dishes, i felt aromatic Burmese rice didn't stand out as much. Same with the batata rustica. These classic dishes were good however the menu has so many other interesting choices that might be fun to explore and taste great!

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!

This is a prefix for $198R. It includes bread, appetizer, entree and dessert. Definitely go hungry. The menu, predominantly in Portuguese, doesn't pose a language barrier thanks to the fantastic English-speaking staff. The flaky, lemony fish of the day and irresistible bread make for a memorable dining experience. The fish was like butter. Don't miss the exquisite ceviche appetizer. The wood-fired oven adds charm. The restaurant's quaint interior, adorned with quirky decorations and curated bookshelves, creates a cozy atmosphere.

A great spot to grab a bite to eat if you're by Copacabana beach. Very affordable and very filling…read more I ordered the chicken without any sides as I was headed to the beach of course, but it was still enough to fill me! They have an open storefront so you'll easily get a nice breeze when its hot in the day time, or looking to cool off in the evening. Seating is at a u-shaped counter, if you'd like to people watch, sit inside rather than having your back turned to the outside.

The burgers are pretty good, and that's coming from a meat eater! You order a burger based on a menu of toppings but then get to pick what kind of patty you'd like. There are four to pick from with the soy bacon being my favorite over the also good Indian one. When I visited they were out of many items on the menu which isn't a good look but that didn't stop me from getting what I hoped to order. Prices are a steal for what you get. Credit cards accepted and the owner speaks English. I'd visit again but try something else. There are better veggie burgers, but it's still a good choice if you're craving one.

As a meat eater, the vegan burgers could give some of my favorite non-veg burger places a run for their money. The fries were shoestring, my favorite kind. Service was fast and great.

Chef Roberta Sudbrack, a former Latin America's Best Female Chef award winner is always mentioned…read moreas one of the top chefs in Rio and her restaurant is considered among the best in the city. They don't take reservations so I decided to try my luck by showing up at opening on a Wednesday. The is no signage so I actually walked past it before realizing my error. Inside is a cozy little restaurant and the staff is very welcoming. There are menus in English which is useful for reading the descriptions of each dish. There was so much that piqued my interest and I wanted to try but alas I was dining alone this time and had no one to share with so I had to limit my choices. I really wanted to try the homemade bread with the homemade butter but I thought it might be too much so I settled on the "Organic cauliflower cooked in a clay oven" with tahini hummus, a Sud's classic. 5/5 The cauliflower was perfectly charred and the hummus was good. Another hard decision was trying to decide on what main course I wanted. There was the brisket, filet, pork tenderloin, Angus ribs, and slow roasted duck all seemed like good choices but I ended up going with the "Slowly roasted lamb in our clay oven" with roasted potatoes, carrots and organic leaves. 5/5 The first couple of bites it didn't have a strong lamb taste to it, but then there it was very subtle along with all of the seasoning used. I'm not a fan of greens but they were OK along with the roasted potatoes and carrots which were so well done. So finally the last difficult decision of the night was dessert. There were so many great sounding desserts that you knew dessert wasn't some afterthought. But I am a chocoholic at heart so when a dish is named ad described like this on a menu I have no choice but to order it. "Wet chocolate cake, the legend! | Chef's Sudbrack signature | sour cream and hot chocolate sauce | This one doesn't even need to be explained, it's legend!" I know why this is legendary I'm still thinking about it all this time later. It has to be one of the top 3 pieces of chocolate cake I've ever eaten. The cake was great but then you have a hot chocolate sauce to add on top and it is life changing!?! I don't want to sound hyperbolic but a 10/5. This was an higher priced meal, but the food, quality, experience, and service make it worth it. Plus a meal as good as this would cost double back home. I would love to come back sometime for another visit so I can try more. I would even come back just for the cake.

Fantastic meal, probably the best one I have had on my 11 visits to Rio…read more Started out ordering the homemade baked bread which was absolutely delicious (the dough and outstanding crust), especially when paired with the rich butter from Minas Gerais which has outstanding flavor and texture more similar to a fine cheese.. For the main course I ordered the highly recommended filet, cooked a perfect medium rare, that comes with bearnaise sauce on the side and delicious Sudbrack fries. Washed the food down with a good glass of red house wine and finished this great meal with 2 outstanding desserts that my friend and I shared--the chocolate cake with gelato (looks like a brownie but remarkably light) and a lemon merengue tart. All this great food came to R$300 each (roughly $62 US per person as of this writing at 4.9 R$ to USD)--a bargain compared to what I would pay for a comparable meal in Miami at Thomas Keller's Bouchon Bistro--just as good but nearly half the price!!....BTW, they do sell loafs of their bread to take home. Run, don't walk, here...or take Uber. Muito bom!
