Baleia Rios — Restaurant in Região Geográfica Imediata do Rio de Janeiro

Absolutely incredible and a must visit when in RIO! Wow! This restaurant is right next to Assador which I didn’t realize when I booked, so it shares an amazing view (Aterro do Flamengo). Definitely request to sit outside so you can enjoy the amazing view. The service is fantastic and they really make sure you are catered to. I was with someone who spoke Portuguese so that made it easier but speaking English is limited with the staff. I loved that they had the menu on an iPad which translated into English and also showcased the dietary restrictions as I can’t have dairy. This was extremely helpful and I think all restaurants should have this as it’s so much easier for guests. We ordered an array of appetizers (sliced pata negra, shrimp with garlic..) and octopus to share for the main which tasted delicious. The lobster bruschetta is a MUST order, it was simply divine. I’ve never had bruschetta like that so it was a fantastic surprise. Pairing the dishes with a bottle of white wine from Chile, was the icing on the cake. 100% I will come here again when I’m back in RIO, it was just that good. Highly recommend and definitely...

The restaurant positions itself as a seafood restaurant. But there are only four seafood dishes. The staff is very incompetent. I ask them where the seafood restaurant is, they take me to another part of the building of the same restaurant, the menu there is slightly different, but there are no seafood on the menu at all, I go to the staff again, say where this seafood restaurant is, they take me to where they brought me from. But there are only four seafood dishes in the place where they brought me. The restaurant is not what it seems to you. And the staff is very strange. In the end, I did not wait for someone to give me an answer to the question, and went to...

O Baleia Rio’s é um restaurante de culinária mediterrânea com uma localização privilegiada, debruçado sobre a Baía de Guanabara, proporcionando vista panorâmica do Pão de Açúcar, Corcovado e Niterói — especialmente bonita na varanda ao entardecer . O ambiente é moderno e acolhedor, com decoração que remete ao mar, usando tons de azul e mobiliário com cordas náuticas que reforçam o clima praiano-elegante do Aterro .

O menu, assinado pelo chef Bruno Barros, traz pratos sofisticados como croquetas de jamón ou de bacalhau (R$68 – 6 unidades), bruschetta de lagosta (R$140) e vieira em texturas (R$160), ideais para compartilhar . Entre os pratos principais, o Filé à Rossini com foie gras (R$210) e o Peixe do Dia Crostato (R$220/kg) são destaques, além de risotos e massas criativas como papardelle ao ragu de pato ou espaghetini com salsa de trufa (R$88‑124) .
