BUFFET! Only reason this is just 4 stars is because the procedure is not intuitive and is a bit…read moreconfusing. Lots of employees, but only one spoke English. Not a critical issue if you study this review so you'll know what to do. You're given a plastic card upon entering and they use this to ring you up. But I can't figure out why. Don't know about the Asian food ( lots of sushi choices) but the western food is all good and the filet mignon in sauce is fantastic! We had to wait for it, though, as they had run out. Worth the wait. But you're not supposed to munch while you're waiting, because you're charged by the weight of the food. It's easiest to get a separate plate ( before weigh-in) for dessert items, then get weighed all at once. Unless you eat a ton, the price is very reasonable: For my wife, myself and my teenage son, with 3 drinks, our dinner came to R$ 101, or about $11 U.S. each! You pay at the cashier upon exiting by presenting your weight and drink receipts. They take Visa. Sodas: Pepsi and a Lemon-Lime drink. You can just say "Soda, no Pepsi" and nod left to right if you want the lemon- lime soda, and they'll get it. Also bottled water, regular or fizzy. As the girl poured the drinks over ice at our table, I probably should have left a small tip. Indoor seating, which is rare in this neighborhood. We'll be back this week during our Olympic stay!

The place is buffet style but you get charged by the weight. Picking out what to eat was difficult because we didn't understand the Portuguese descriptions and the food didn't really look like anything familiar. I tried a few items that looked semi decent but I did not enjoy any of them. Maybe just not the spot for a foreigner.

Not a loooot of options, but the food is tasty. The options from the menu in my opinion are more interesting. A nice touch is that they put together with the menu a tablet displaying pictures from the courses. They have several options, all of them very interesting! I've tried a chicken with a sweet-chilly spice, which was fantastic! There were rice and potatoes on the side (small portions, though). The price was around R$ 35, which I though to be reasonable. I think that they have live music on Thursdays nights, but not sure. On the second floor there are some karaoke rooms also. This place is very discrete, one may pass ahead and don't even notice the small entrance! But I truly indicate this great restaurant, you won't regret! Ps: just though strange that they do not display the wifi password on the walls and the waiters don't have it as well, so when we asked for the password, the waiter took our cells to the owner... weird, at least.

Yelp Review 2025 #177:…read more I was going to a more popular cafe a minute away from Casa Cave but they don't open til 11am so, I was going to pre-game here. There was a line with 5 people ahead of me but since I was dining solo, I got to skip the line and the doorman let me go in and hands me a card to take to the cashier. But not knowing Portuguese and them not knowing English, it was confusing. I got a table but it hasn't been cleaned yet but I sat my bag down while looking at the food display. I went up to the counter with the older lady cashiers and placed my order and paid. What I ordered were readily available and don't require cooking but I only received one item. So, I pulled out Google Translate to let them know I was missing parts of my order and only received one item. A few minutes later, I got everything I ordered. And you know when people are talking about you in a different language? That was the vibe I got here. Pastel de Nata: They got an award for their pastel de nata so, my expectations were pretty high. It was ok. They could've warmed it up before serving and offered sugar and cinnamon but nope. I've had better. 3/5 Passionfruit Juice: It tasted fresh. A nice balance of tart and sweet. 4/5 Bolinho de Bacalhau: Fried cod fritter. Tasty, crunchy on the outside. 3.5/5 Coxinha: I love this stuff. It's one of my favorite Brazilian food. Like a fried croquette shaped like a teardrop filled with chicken and cream cheese. 4/5 There's a review site that claims this place is cash only - not true. But I got cash with me when I went here.
