While I'm generally allergic to buffets, friends wanted to congregate here so I conceded. And, I…read morewas pleasantly surprised. Guests pay for the weight of the products selected. What a novel idea. Pay per kilo. I like it. It's quite clever as often I only want a snack. I wish we could pay by kilo for things at the market that are not produce. Wouldn't it be cool to pay for only the bread you would eat in one sitting? The choices are various and not all things are prepared equally. So, try to be distinguishing and sneak a bite before you buy. I kid. The cornucopia of choices will always bring me back.

And here I was worried that I could not find food to match my healthy diet. After 15 years spending…read more6 months a year in Brazil this is by far the best self serve restaurant I have ever come across. I have never seen so many great options and varieties of foods. Together with a friendly staff I wholeheartedly give it 5 stars.

I found this little gem in Leblon in 2010 on my first visit to Rio. Since then I have always…read morereturned here in subsequent visits. The food is fresh and delicious and the variety amazing. The perfect balance of healthy salads and veggies, grilled fish and chicken and meats along with Italian lasagna and local meaty stews. The desserts are too die for. A bit pricey totally worth it. Ana Maria the manager is a delightful and lovely hostess who makes you feel at home. Will always come back.

This was close to our AirBnB in rio. Its hard to review a place like this as its a "pay per kilo"…read morerestaurant. The expectations in terms of service and quality are usually low... and yet, Fellini delivers. The food feels "homely" made. The food is good, lots of variety... from meat, to sushi... although not necessarily cheap for what you get... but location, location location. Fellini's is a good place for a quick bite. If lived in the area this would be my lazy "to-go" option. I would rate this 3.5/5 if yelp allowed me to.

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.
