Follies Bar — Restaurant in Região Geográfica Imediata do Rio de Janeiro

The food was delicious: tasty fish in an exquisite shrimp sauce. The steak was perfectly cook, the French fries hot and crispy. We received generous portions. We could have been drinking Caipirinha all night since it was so flavourful. Julio, the boss, does not speak English but did his best to make our experience extremely pleasant. The restaurant was filled with locals. Very reasonably priced. A must try...

Carne Assada gave me food poisoning. I don’t care about the slow service here but I was sick, vomit all night and my digestive system was inflamed for a week after. Do not go here. Do not go to these cheap botecos in general if you don’t want food poisoning. The owners cut corners, serve spoiled meat and leave food out. Go somewhere slightly nicer if you want to avoid food poisoning...

Conveniently located one block from the world reknown Copacabana beach, follies bar is where the locals drink beer and dine their famous brasilian dishes..even if they dont speak english...you can feel the warmth of their hospitality...Flavio..the server that yells Oi! To his regular customers such as myself during my stay is the brasilian bomb...i miss...
