Restaurante e Bar Garota da Urca — Restaurant in Região Geográfica Imediata do Rio de Janeiro

All in all a bad experience. I walked in and politely asked for a table in the best Portoghese I can, while looking at a perfect table for 2 by the front of the restaurant with a view. The waiter saw me and told me that I need to be 2 people to sit there (I was alone), so he proceeded to point me out a 4 man table in the back of the restaurant were unfortunately there wasn't any circulating air, so it was a very hot experience all together. I ordered quite quickly but what I didn't know was that I was in for a 1 hour and 20 minute wait to get my pizza that I ordered (I ordered a pizza as on the outside of the building there is written pizzaria and I thought that they would clearly know how to make it given that they advertise their establishment as a bar and pizzeria) . About 1 hour in I signaled the waiter that after a few attempts saw me and signaled from a far that the food was on its way. 20 minutes later the pizza finally came. I started eating as I was starving given that I have watched people getting in after me already eating for quite some time. I very soon discovered that I was eating (for the most part) raw pizza dough, at that point I didn't care and continued eating as I was seriously starving and didn't want to wait another hour for a new one to be made; all in all I just wanted to eat and end the horrible experience as soon as possible! I ordered a new Tonic water to wash down the dough topped with cheese and sausages, and it was there it really hit me how long I had been waiting when my previously (almost) room temperature Tonic water with close to no gas in it was exchanged with a new and cold one with ice cubes and condense on the outside of the glass. Half way though my dough I stopped eating as my stomach started rumbling, so I proceeded to ask for the bill. When the guy came I told him about the dough and before I could finish the sentence he mentioned himself that it was raw. He then directly after handed me the bill (so no sorry or similar) so I could pay in full the meal; he had even applied quite conveniently a service fee on everything. I didn't want to make a scene so I paid as fast as I could and left the building to get food elsewhere. Thinking back I should have had a talk with the manager and have argued about the experience recieved in general and not having even paid the extra tip that I was automatically asked to help further fuel this monkey business. So why not 1 star, honestly I don't know, maybe because I'm a nice person, maybe out of pity, or maybe because the location seems good. All in all I can tell you this; I'm defiantly not going there again and I would suggest you to do the same as this morning I'm feeling the consequences of having eaten that half-raw pizza dough. I have attached a photo of the bottom of the pizza, as you can see it would sometimes stick to the plate and tear when picking it up with the fork.

All in all a horrible experience and I will not set foot in there again that is for sure. There is a subway further down the road and I bet they will do a better job for half the price, a total rip off I'd say that you...

My Cape to Rio dining experience at Restaurante e Bar Garota da Urca in Rio de Janeiro was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we stepped in, I knew I was in for a treat.

First and foremost, the location is unparalleled. Nestled in the heart of Urca, the restaurant offers breathtaking views of Rio de Janeiro's iconic landscape. Whether you choose to sit indoors or on the terrace, the ambiance is vibrant and inviting, providing the perfect backdrop for a memorable meal.

The menu at Garota da Urca is a culinary masterpiece. The fusion of flavors and the creative presentation of each dish showcase the chef's dedication to the art of gastronomy. From their signature Pizzas to traditional Brazilian dishes to international delights, every option on the menu is a testament to the restaurant's commitment to excellence.

The staff at Garota da Urca are true professionals. Their warmth, attentiveness, and extensive knowledge of the menu added to the overall dining experience. Our server was not only friendly but also provided valuable recommendations, ensuring that our choices perfectly complemented each other.

The drink selection was impressive, featuring a diverse array of cocktails, wines, and spirits. The menu did not offer Brandy or Coke, so we flabbergasted our server Joao by mixing Cognac and Pepsi adding an extra layer of enjoyment to our evening.

The attention to detail in the decor and the overall ambiance of the restaurant is commendable. It reflects a perfect blend of sophistication and comfort, creating an atmosphere that suits both casual outings and special celebrations.

In conclusion, Restaurante e Bar Garota da Urca is a culinary gem that exceeded my expectations in every aspect.

I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience in this vibrant city. Five stars...

Recentemente tive a oportunidade de jantar no Garota da Urca no Rio de Janeiro, e devo dizer que minha experiência foi um pouco confusa. Este restaurante, conhecido por suas vistas deslumbrantes da Baía de Guanabara, é um local popular tanto para moradores quanto para turistas. No entanto, a comida me deixou com alguns sentimentos contraditórios.

Vamos começar com os aspectos positivos. A localização é simplesmente imbatível. O Garota da Urca fica bem à beira-mar, oferecendo vistas panorâmicas da baía e do icônico Pão de Açúcar. Quer esteja aqui para almoçar ou jantar, não pode deixar de ficar cativado pela paisagem pitoresca. É o local perfeito para tomar um drink e mergulhar no clima carioca.

O ambiente do restaurante também merece elogios. O interior é aconchegante e elegante, com um toque de charme vintage. A música ao vivo, com músicas clássicas brasileiras, contribui para a atmosfera geral e proporciona uma experiência gastronômica agradável.

No entanto, quando se trata de comida, as coisas pioram um pouco. Eu tinha grandes esperanças na culinária brasileira, mas o Garota da Urca ficou aquém das expectativas. O cardápio oferece uma variedade de pratos tradicionais, incluindo feijoada e moqueca, mas a execução deixou a desejar. Os sabores eram decentes, mas não excelentes, e os tamanhos das porções eram um pouco menores pelo preço.

O serviço, por outro lado, foi amigável e atencioso. A equipe parecia genuinamente interessada em tornar nossa experiência gastronômica agradável e ficou feliz em fornecer recomendações e responder a perguntas sobre o menu.

Resumindo, o Garota da Urca é um restaurante que brilha pela localização e ambiente. As vistas são de tirar o fôlego e a atmosfera é encantadora. No entanto, se você está procurando uma experiência culinária extraordinária, talvez queira gerenciar suas expectativas. Embora a comida seja decente, ela não faz jus à reputação do restaurante. Vale a pena visitar apenas pelas vistas e pela atmosfera, mas considere explorar outras opções gastronômicas no Rio para uma refeição...
