    Great spot for Brazilian-style dining. The meats were excellent, well cooked, flavorful, and…read moredefinitely the highlight of the experience. 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.

    My friends and I ended up eating at Carretao after took a nice bike ride from Sao Conrado to…read moreIpanema (highly recommend, btw). 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.

    Heard a lot about this place and the burgers were quite tasty. There's only three choices: regular,…read moremixed with bacon and a double patty, which makes the menu simple. They have a selection of Brooklyn beers which is nice if you're tired of Heineken. The fries were pretty crispy which was a nice since it can be harder to find. Their custom BBQ sauce was pretty good and that's probably what makes this burger special. The spicy sauce had a kick to it but not spicy enough for hot sauce lovers. This place is tiny! One big table inside, a few patio tables outside and the smallest of awnings if it rains. There were about 3 ladies who were busing the tables, they did not assist anyone is setting up a table or grabbing chairs and instead kept folding them away the closer it crept to 11pm, their closing time. They were already putting up the roll down doors over the place as they took the last order of the night. No need to stay open a little later since business is good even in the rain. Ps. officina del gelato is opening right next store!

    So we decided to try this burger place this past weekend. It was a cloudy Saturday evening (around…read more6:30pm) so it wasn't busy. we actually missed the crowd (which was good, cause we got to get a table inside for the 7 of us. If you plan to go with a big group, there is seating outside (just hope for good weather). Inside, there are only seats for 10 people max (and its tight). so the burger: like Beco do Hamburger, they have two types of burgers: Hells Burger (made of beef rib meat patty) and Fifty-Fifty (half beef rib and half smoked bacon patty). I had the Fifty-Fifty and it was good. Had a bacon crust and a good serving, with melted cheese on top. if you are a fan of lettuce, tomato, pickles and onions and other garnish on your burger, this isn't the place for you. their burgers are simple and straight forward. They have two types of sauces ( Voodoo Barbecue and So Hot Its stupid), we didn't really see a big difference between the two sauces, and their Hot sauce, isn't really spicy (according to my spicy food addict friends). Their fries are traditional simple fries (on the thicker end, not skinny ones like McDonalds) but good. They had a special 2 for 1 beer special for the Brooklyn Stouts. Overall it was a good experience. If I am in the area and craving a burger, I'd probably stop by. But, is it a top favorite? I'd say I prefer the Beco do Hamburger ones better. But, go to Hells and give them a try!

    Ordered a beef dish that came with pork sausage slices, rice and fries. It was alright-- less…read moreflavor/taste than I had hoped for; especially after the waiter hyped the dish up. Food was fairly priced and beer was cheap. I saw a gentleman at another table order a fish. The waiter came and de-boned the the fish and it looked delicious! I would recommend trying that. The service was good. They were able to communicate with us without a problem even though none of us spoke portuguese. The restaurant is a little crammed, but manageable.

    Here is my two cents on the food and a little bit of chatter. What is a surprise I had when…read moresearching through a various menus on different restaurants ,I came across barbecue pork ribs and they also serve fresh squeezed orange juice. It was a rainy and miserable day in Rio de Janeiro and I did not feel like trogging through the wetness . I got my food via Uber Eats It was delivered hot and on time. The pork ribs were in between baby back ribs and slab ribs everything's different in Brazil. The pork was & tasted so good.It fell off the bone and easy enough for two. So in a sauce nothing like we have here in United States no mustard sauce and no tomato-based sauce something in between they call barbecue sauce..Along with french fries , portions are big enough for two people. The fresh squeezed orange juice which is found at most restaurants , I come to find out that very few actually will deliver them. Instead of having the national dish I got a bean soup black bean soup that is quite tasty though I needed to do doctored it up at having a little bit of kept hot sauce. I also had a pastel which is quite common having cheese but this one had cheese and onions very tasty. Along with the meal they serve small chunks of fried pork belly or bacon as we would call it but the pork belly was cut up and fried in about half inch cube squares. FYI..... be aware that any delivery no matter what the distance they say it will be about one hour before you actually get it. But most food will arrive at a hot reasonable temperature. When you come up with ice cream gelato or other cold things then you're just taking a chance on it being melted upon the arrival..On Uber you are able to track and know the driver, plus car- license plate , motor bike or bicycle definitely a good place to check in taste of food
