Emporium

Reviewed By Eduardo A

Emporium offers different kind of dishes: salads, soups, fish, meat, chicken, sandwiches, appetizers, etc. They also have fruit juices from Amazonia and elsewhere, beer, etc.I ordered the dorado fish with salad, rice and mashed potato one day and a pumpkin soup with coalho cheese (it is lightweight cheese produced in Northeastern Brazil) another. Both were delicious and plenty. It is a little bit pricey but the food is good.They service is also good and the place has a nice atmosphere. It is located in the most hype street of Porto Velho. Inside there is air-conditiong and outside you can enjoy live music and drink beer.They don't open for lunch, only dinner. I think they open at 18:00.

Boi na Brasa Churrascaria

Reviewed By carlosmartins68

Ambiente amplo, limpo, ótimo atendimento, opção de rodízio, marmitex ou por kg (com diferença entre o kg da linha de serviço e as carnes). Um buffet variadíssimo. Oferecem embalagens para viagem. Poucas vagas para estacionamento. Não há controle no ponto da carne. Muitas vezes oferecem carne passada do ponto. Pra picanha, isso é um crime. Aliás, na opção por kg, por varias vezes tentaram me passar contra-filé por picanha. E o filé no bacon, é recorrente pegar outra carne... não podem oferecer filé com nervo...

Reviewed By Gi2010

We went to this restaurant as locals recomended.The location is not for turists and the decoration is very basic and rustic. If you are looking for luxury dont go ,however its Very traditional and popular for locals. Try the Tambaqui na brasa( grilled Amazonian fish) or calderada de Tambaqui ( fish stew)

Casarao do Peixe

Reviewed By shine645

This is a place where you can have a big dish of tambaqui or dourado. I recommend the grilled option. It is lighter. it will come with rice, vinagrete and farofa. You can drink "paricis", a local drink with guaraná.The staff is friendly and they try to be quick to bring the dishes to the table.It is worth a visit, but take two friends. The dishes are big.

Public Haus

Reviewed By jcjury

service great, beer overpriced for Brazilian standards, the buffet was really poor, 7 sorts of salami, a lot of cheeses, 5 sort of olives, sun dried tomatoes, old bread, no greens, no salad, no options and what was on display did not look very fresh.. and for the price asked you eat better in any street food outlet. Don't understand why so many good reviews...

Recanto do Tambaqui

Reviewed By carlosmartins68

Com mais uma ampliação, aumentando o número de mesas para melhor atendimento, mantém a excelente padrão de qualidade no atendimento e nos pratos. Rodízio de peixe, normalmente servido Tambaqui de banda, sem espinhas, delicioso. Dourado frito. Caldeirada de Tambaqui. Sugiro chegar antes de meio-dia, para um melhor atendimento. Também sugiro perguntar qual cerveja está mais gelada.
