Don Mariano is a decent value for money dinner spot for Itaim. The neighborhood is notoriously…read morepricey, but you can fill yourself up on the Spanish tortillas here for a reasonable price. As far as empanadas go, while the fillings are tasty, the portions are small, and I have to eat a bunch to get full. The menu is pretty long, and the place seems to have a bit of an identity crisis in terms of decor, but the waiters can usually make good recommendations. We've particularly enjoyed shrimp entrees and I seem to remember a good looking rack of lamb or ribs.

Located right at ther corner of the quaint street of Lupércio and the bustle of Ministro Rocha…read moreAzvedo is Aragon (formerly there was another restaurant called Lupércio at this same corner) - the restaurant is brightly decorated, with Iberian / Mediterranean whites and a feel of lightness. Lunch on a Thursday was an easy affair - there were tables available and the service was good, a bit pushy at times to order soon but overall good service - there is an elaborate menu with a lot of options and a weekday lunch menu with 3 alternatives each served with a side of salad (under R$ 50). The food is fresh and well made and quite delicious and just remembering the quality of my seafood rice makes me upgrade my ranking from 3 to 4 stars ! It's not a busy place and a good place to hang with some friends and have some good food - recommended.

Spanish ham and cheese came with a little side of green olives and was tasty, although not cheap at R$74. Pan tomate was a little bit strange -- or at least not what I'm used to. It came on a thick cut baguette and had a generous sprinkling of browned (and cooled) minced garlic on top. Anyway, it was fine. The Pulpo came on a bed of sliced potatoes and was generously seasoned with paprika, salt and olive oil. The salt had just been sprinkled over the top so it required some redistribution. Flavor was great, although the octopus itself was a bit on the chewy side. Red sangria was AWESOME! It comes in a big pitcher with plenty of chopped fruit. I may have had too much fun picking out the juicy bits from my sangria glass and spilling drops of red wine all over myself. Whoops. As a sidenote, the bathrooms are ALL the way in the back behind the retaining wall, which is not obvious when you walk in. All in all, a good meal!

I fully appreciated the blanket and heaters that were brought over as it was a chilly evening, yet we were still "indoors" but not. Service was impeccable, with every member of the staff ensuring our experience was top notch and food met our expectations. I chose the slowly roasted beef ribs rice and was not expecting savory goodness that arrived! The beef ribs melted in my mouth and the rice was so incredibly flavorful - I would order this over and over again! Of all the restaurants I've been to, Figueira Rubaiyat has by far the one of the most extensive wine list I've seen, featuring many different wines from around the world, including Brazil of course! There is also a gift shop that should not be missed because of the very unique items that are found here - and a place I'll need to visit next time I'm in the area again! The entire experience is one that should not be missed. Every detail and every bite was absolute perfection!

Their famed "baby beef" was amazingly tender and flavorful. All sides were delectable and their service is always top notch. While considered very expensive from a local perspective, A Figueira Rubaiyat offers great value for those coming from abroad and thinking in dollar terms. We paid roughly $75 per person (R$ 360 in local currency, no alcohol, no dessert, only water, bread service, one entrée, and one side). You can't go wrong with A Figueira Rubaiyat!

Don't get me wrong, ambience is pretty chill and awesome, huge windows that can be opened, tables on deck, service is pretty spot on pushing booze to the gills. Food: + Spanish smoked sausage: eh, slightly spice, thing diagonal cuts served with a oil aioli. + Fried calamari: depressing frozen squid. Seriously, how dare a tapa house use frozen? Not saying to be snotty, but the whole concept of tapas in Spain is to use whatever is in season or something to be brought back to life, like croquetas or mixing whatever leftover the kitchen has with some mashed potatoes then frying it or covering with cheese and roasting it.

Já pedi pratos q adorei(croquete Jamon) e outros nem tanto(polvo com batatas e páprica). O churros tb vale a pena provar. Tb tem a vantagem de ser encostado em outros bares interessantes como por exemplo o Astor. Se vc quiser, dá para ir em um e depois no outro.
