I used to go there a few years ago and I often thought its pretty decent for Churrascaria and that is way I decide to take my friends there so they can experience BBQ brazilian style. My god, there were very limited visits by the meet guys, and the meet was tough as boot ( lamb was good but only one visit and one piece). So overall very shoddy indeed- for a bit more R$ go to Mario and enjoy decent meet or fish.Hello, We appreciate your testimony, comments and evaluation, which certainly deserves our attention! We would like to apologize for what happened in your experience at Fogo de Chão in relation to the indicated points. This is not our standard of quality and service. We will forward your message to management so that situations like this will not happen again. We are attentive to the issues raised by you and we look forward to welcoming you again so you can reevaluate. Regards, Fogo de Chão.

A great experience, steaks are ordered from the menu and sides are served rodizio style. The meats were excellent and cooked perfectly. Service was very good and their English made us feel at home. They even had English menus. Highly recommend.

From the moment we stepped into restaurant we were greeted with smiles. Gave us the best seat in the house. Good selection of meats, the buffet was good, and drinks. Would have paid double/triple in the US. The waiters were very prompted with bringing more food. Definitely worth the stopGood afternoon, dear client!Churrascaria Palace appreciates your visit and review!Hoping to welcome you next time...Best Regards, LÃdia Fernandes.

We had an amazing dinner with all the staff, special thanks to a Jonas for taking such good care of us. It was very genuine service and heartfelt. He led with his heart and his mind followed suit for an unforgettable experience. Definitely recommend for anyone in Rio...itâs worth the drive...even from Sofitel Ipanema.

Ended up going for lunch here twice during our week long vacation in Rio. It seemed always busy and lively here! Wait staff are mostly friendly and courteous. Our favorites were Picanhas(steaks) and Broccoli rice!! Brazilian sausages they bring out as appetizers in the beginning are also top notch!!

The best brazilian Barbecue! Here you choose a meat, chicken or fish, then, included in the price, you can enjoy our salads bar and the side dishes.

A fine steakhouse at Rio's downtown heart! If you are looking for a Brazilian "churrasco", "Demi-Glace Premium Grill" may be your best choice while strolling along downtown. A salad bar, grilled premium cuts, side dishes and great desserts (the "Chocolate Petit Gateau" is a must). A busy restaurant, where reservations are strongly recommended, as many office groups come here for all types of celebrations. It is noisy, but a lot of fun always. Bon Appétit!

The food was great! Huge portions of meat which was enough to split between to two persons. And good and experimental drinks. However, check your bill and sum on the card machine carefully before paying. When we paid by credit card the waiter entered a sum ten times higher than the actual sum. This may of course just have been an honest mistake, but itâs a reminder of the importance of double-checking the sum before confirming the payment. Hello, Sturla.We were pleased that you enjoyed the food.About the bill, we are sorry for the mistake.There was certainly a typo.Thank you for alerting us, as we have passed the incident and demand more attention from employees.We hope to see you again in our restaurant!

Cazota Bar is a true argentinian style restaurante. It's not the pretentious type, but more of the palermo style, laid back type place.I would like to say that I have visited Cazota restaurant 3-4 times and this review comes from those experiences. It is directed to the owner, first to congratulate him and then to request his attention to the negative. A BIG positive: Really good food! + Here you will find one of the best pieces of meat in Rio. I have been to many restaurants in the city and this is on my top 5. + Sides are very good: Usually grilled vegetables (Which is a releve when you eat a big piece of meat) + Big portions. + Authentic Chimichurri. + Price is reasonable for the quality of food. + Owner is always present (You can see they work hard - respect!)Negative: For your attention - to improve. - Unprofessional, slow, absent service.. (Understaffed) Waiters seems to be running around making drinks at the bar and taking orders. They are usually not around when you need them or too slow to attend. Not very knowledgeable about the menu and lack in recommendations.- Missing items - on multiple occasions there were missing items from the menu. - Loud music - They play live music. But the equipment and volume don't match the criteria. Always too loud and bad sound.All taken into consideration, I would still recommend this restaurant for the food! *I would have given a 4 star, but that would not call for the require attention to this details.If you want to be in the top restaurants of the city, you will have to improve.Hello, ZWe are very satisfied with your review.It is easy to see that you made a big effort to help us with great suggestions and evaluations. Thank you! And we can also presume that you liked our place, after all you have returnerd 3-4 times. Thank you again.First of all, we've got so happy that you loved the food. This is our main business. Great!Yes, we do not have the most professional service! This is not our way. We preffer to offer a close and informal service, as if you were in our backyard enjoying a babacue day with our family, being served by them. In Brasil a babecue is all about party, and this is the legitime experience we are trying to make. Far from a fancy bistrô service.Yes, sometimes there are missing itens! Our whole food is fresh and changed weekly. Nothing goes to the freezer to be harnessed in the following week. So, at the end of the week some stuff might be missing. Sorry. This is our way to avoid waste and guarantee fresh grilled barbecue. Our food is simply based on fresh grilled stuff.Yes, in some cases the music can be loud! It depends on the band but... well, its a babecue party. Our clients often came from 5-9 to have dinner quietly. This is our recomendation. From 9-12 more people come for the jazz sessions. So, we try hard to make both happy. If you just want to have a smooth dinner is better to be early.So, we will work hard in your recomendations to make it better.Hope to someday have you back for another babecue experience. And maybe we can deserve that fourth star.Thank you so much.Our goal is not to be the top restaurant of the city. Too fancy for us.We would preffer to be the most legitim and tasty barbecue party.And your recomendations will help us so much.See you soon

O ambiente é divido em área interna com ar condicionado e mesas externas. A comida é boa e bem temperada. O forte do estabelecimento fica por conta do ótimo atendimento, garçons muito simpáticos e prestativos. Fomos comemorar um aniversário e nos forneceram toda a estrutura para a comemoração.
