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.

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!

Open bar, our last chance for caipirinha they were good is taste & decent w the alcohol. Food buffet style we had pasta, chicken, rice salad, cheese bread so many good choices. Also tried fruits, cookies & cake all very very good, specially the cookies. Good service at the bar, they walk around collecting dishes, keep everything clean. Nice lounge to relax at before take off assuming u have the time it's a great way to pass the time before your flight.

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!
