Quite surprised to see that they have a food truck, swimming pool, spa the lounge with killer views. I couldn't believe the size of the passion fruit so of course I had to have a passion fruit Caipirinha. The FIRST one was so good I had to have another, and I think I had one more, lol. I WOULD recommend, I will, go back!

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.

The drinks were fantastic, the bartender was superb and the vibe was super warm. If I lived in Rio I think I would be a regular coming to this car. If I ever come back to Rio I will definitely come to this bar.

I have been to about three nightlife places during my visit to Brazil. This one is by far the best…read moreone! I absolutely love the ambiance. It's a pretty wide open space with lots of seating space as well as places for your group of friends to hangout. My favorite part are of course the large swings! I'd recommend stopping by if you're a visit. The locals already know about it!

If you want somewhere to sit and watch the sunset, this is your place. Right by the lagoon,…read morePalaphita Kitch has sort of a Balinese vibe, with bamboo furniture and sofas facing the water. It's a pretty romantic spot so you see a lot of couples as well as groups of friends. It's nice to just sit and watch people running/cycling by. We just ordered some cocktails but they do have a food menu with snacks. The second time we visited we tried to order food but the waitress seemed to forget and we just gave up. So I wouldn't say the service was particularly great but I would still visit again and again for the atmosphere. Plus, the toilets are pretty cool! The ladies toilet has this giant wooden throne around it!

I wish I would have found this place sooner! They are not being pretentious when they say they…read more"have the best coffee in Brazil"and it isn't too expensive. The owner, Florioano, is so friendly and helped me pick out a ground coffee called Caffe Lorenzon Grano Gourmet. It smells like heaven! Seriously! You know how there is a little hole in the back of coffee bags so you can squeeze it and smell the coffee beans? I couldn't stop squeezing it; I was practically drooling in the store. (And I tried the coffee this morning...I can confirm that it also tastes like heaven!) Now lets move on to the real reason I came to the store in the first place...cachaça! Florianio really knows his stuff. He gave me a better lesson on cachaça than I got at an actual alambique (where cachaça is made). Maybe I am exaggerating a little, but he was so nice and so knowledgable! He explained all the different brands of cachaça made in Rio and the varieties of barrels that it is fermented in and why the color of the cachaça can be white or gold etc. He likes what he does and it shows. I hope to go back and learn more about cachaça with him! I ended up buying a small travel-size bottle of 'Menina do Rio' for now but plan on going back to spend a little more a nice bottle. They don't have live music right now and he is not sure when they will start that back up again. When he does, I will be sure to go! But before then, I will be back to buy more coffee (or just smell it, haha) and to get some cachaça!

They have a system where you order food and drinks using a prepaid cash card. I think they are still testing out various methods of how they provide their services, as my mother in law has said that the payment system changes each time she visits. We ordered the fish and chips and it was delicious! The fish was fried to perfection and super crispy. Unfortunately, they do not provide lemons or tartar sauce so make sure to ask for extra mayonnaise and limes when ordering. They do not have a tap beer menu so you will have to walk up to the bar and see their selection. Strangely, you are not able to order directly at the bar and you have to go back to your table and order through the waitress. Paradise Garage has a great stage for live performances. It's elevated, well lit and they have a great sound system. My only complaint about the live performances is the lighting- there are two flashing strobes on the stage facing the audience and it makes it very unpleasant to watch the performances. It ends up hurting your eyes. The band Little Mou that I saw live was amazing, if you get a chance, go see them! Português não é minha primeira língua e estou usando o google translate: Este local de música / pub / loja de auto apenas abriu há alguns meses e é um ótimo lugar para desfrutar de música ao vivo, boa comida e cerveja. O espaço é bonito, espaçoso, e bem pensado. Eles têm um sistema onde você pedir comida e bebidas utilizando um cartão pré-pago de dinheiro. Eu acho que eles ainda estão testando vários métodos de como eles prestam seus serviços, como minha mãe diz que o sistema de pagamento muda cada vez que ela visita. Nós pedidos o peixe e fritas e foi delicioso! O peixe foi frito com perfeição e super crocante. Infelizmente, eles não fornecer limões ou molho tártaro por isso certifique-se de pedir maionese extra e limes ao encomendar. Eles não têm um tap cerveja menu para que você terá a pé até o bar e ver sua seleção. Estranhamente, não são capazes de ordem directamente no bar e você tem que voltar para a sua mesa e ordem através da garçonete. Paradise Garage tem um grande palco para apresentações ao vivo. É elevado, bem iluminado e têm um excelente sistema de som. A minha única reclamação sobre as actuações ao vivo é a iluminação - há duas flashes piscando no palco de frente para o público e torna muito desagradável para assistir as performances. Isso acaba machucando seus olhos. A banda Little Mou que eu vi ao vivo foi incrível, se você tiver uma chance, vá vê-los!
