The service was not special. More attention was being paid to a large group sat nearby. We were actually not within the confines of the restaurant being sat in the vestibule.
The food and drinks were expensive compared with another costelaria located a few kms away towards Lagoa. R$ 500.00
The t-bone steak I ordered was cooked to near perfection. 9/10 for this. My companions shared a different cut. They were disappointed. Their feelings were that the meat had been reheated from a previous day, lacked taste and seasoning. One was also disappointed with the potato mayonnaise accompliment. My accompliment was Batata Rustica. Basically chips with skins on , fried and served in a small wire basket. The portion was small. Definitely not good value. 30 reais if my memory serves me right. For this price you would normally receive 400/500g. Not here! Conclusion. Not the best value for money but certainly I would return...
Read moreConducting food reviews for tourists So... after hearing lots about the place, I've decided to give it a try. I came for lunch, the place looks cool, it's located in the open mall, which overall gives a modern feeling, when I was seated, I couldn't avoid thinking that the owner couldn't think about his clients when it's a hot day, few fans can definitely help. Moving on.... after ordering my meal (ribs and a steak) I had to wait for over 45(!) min till the food actually arrived, the restaurant was empty at that time...just wondering, is that the level of service which you guys are showing? Such a shame. The food itself is pretty good to be honest, maybe a bit greasy to some. Overall, I enjoyed the food, but the service was a nightmare.
Will try to stop by again in the near future so check if any...
Read moreNice place and food. The attendand was really nice and pacient. But the price is too high.
I know that barbecue restaurants are pricey, but I kinda thought I was being fooled there. Usually they charge for a meal with side dishes but this charges for them separately. It's good since you can choose was goes with your main dish, but in the end it was a lot more expensive.
The portion was really small and not THAT tasty. It was ok at best. Nothing special.
And they charge me for the coffee! The traditional "cafezinho" after the meal. No "thanks for spending a lot of money here". Don't get me wrong. I'm used to go to pricey places, but here I felt like it...
