Food looked pretty good, interesting, some of it had been sitting there for a long time. There is so many tables in the lounge area that were dirty, people that were working there were standing around and not cleaning up. I WOULD go back to say hi to Patrick.

A newly built lounge in GIG which is part of the stat allowance lounges popping up across many…read moreairports. Good alcohol selection , decent food options and plus point is showers are available. Showers however do not have any area to put your luggage and seemed a little odd compared to lounge showers across other airports. When I visited it wasn't too crowded. Good seating options but I didn't see any quite area. Couple of kids running all over the lounge and making themselves announced. Lounges should have an adult only area in my personal opinion for travellers who want to just relax. The staff is very nice and the bartender can make some decent local cocktails. Multiple ports available to plug in and charge with no converter needed. USB plugins also available. Overall a good lounge. Can be better with quiet area and maybe more comfortable seating to stretch legs. Showers can be improved with a wooden bench or seating space inside.

This is a very pleasant Admirals Club at the Rio airport. It's on the smaller side, but it did not…read moreseem very busy. The interior was clean and contemporary, but this club has not yet received the makeover that AA is planning for all its clubs. Staff were quite welcoming and friendly, and there were staff cleaning up and regularly collecting used plates and glasses. There were several small buffets of hot and cold dishes. The best part of clubs outside the U.S. is the open bar which features plenty of self service booze. They made a boarding announcement in the club which gave us just the right amount of time to walk to the gate and arrive just as boarding began. Definitely visit this club if you're eligible and flying out of Rio!

We stopped by because we had an extra hour to kill (overestimated time and traffic). They have a nice layout with some tasty food to eat, wifi and it priority pass compatible. It's not anything exceptional as far as lounges go but it's one of the few that exist.

Spent many nights of the Rio olympics celebrating with friends in the Bartman. This place rocks.read more

The entrance is unassuming, but once you are in there, it's a big restaurant with tons of tables in the back. They have huge portions, great traditional dishes (think large steaks) and some fun twist (huge plate of spicy chicken wings). If you are in the area, come by this spot and you won't be disappointing!

We found this place from Tam Airline lounge, rated topped and was opened back in the 1800. When we…read morearrived, the entrance looked like a very small informal coffee shop, but when we decided to walk in, the back was a humongous restaurant packed with locals, the portions were large and we had their prime filet Mignon, almost the size of your plate, everything was excellent. The server seemed like they've been working there all their lives, service was superb. You should try their delicia lamas desert, it's surprisingly good with their natural matte drinks. I highly recommend

The restaurant is so well-designed, the perfect balance of classy and sexy. Lots of black, mirrors, and dim lighting, combined with floor-to-ceiling windows and greenery. The entrance has a fish pond with carp.The open kitchen allows you to see the chefs at work. We enjoyed first sitting on the open-air deck and taking photos. I had the caipichamp (a champagne cocktail with pineapple and lemon grass) and LOVED it. We also had the passion fruit caipirinha and lychee caipisake (like a capirinha but made with sake). The food was better than I expected given descriptions of this place as an "Asian lounge" (which tends to make me think of overpriced and uncreative Asian fusion). We had the octopus sashimi, salmon tataki (both were very fresh), scallop sushi, and crab dumplings (enjoyed these - very creative, with a coconut-based filling).

My total dissatisfaction at the end of the three hour torture was met with another manager lie: manager claimed to adjust R$1000 bill but instead pulled a Marie Antoinette and offered cake to diabetic me. Obnoxious management and thoroughly disappointing food served with incompetence.
