We had a lousy experience at the Quiosque MPB tonight. Service was ok, Caipirinhas were even good. But the advertised live music only started at around 9pm, 40 mins after our arrival. And it turned out to be just plain bad. We were there with some native Cariocas who know MPB music and they confirmed that the musicians were just horrible. The food was a good match to that: It was our worst food in Rio. We were eager to get to this quiosque because of all the good reviews but it was not worth it. We...
