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

Of course I fell into the tourist trap, when I was super hungry and without the phone to check the reviews. I took the fish grilled in the coal, which took to prepare 30 mins (but to be fair, waitres warned me it will take 20 mins). But when I got it, it was really undercooked and bit smelly. And after I got it back finally cooked, it was the worst fish in my life - it had the taste of frozen, cheapest fish, which you would get in some school canteen. After the first bite, I ate rather just the potatoes. And to put cherry on it, it was for R$200.. The most expensive and the worst dish I had in Rio during 5 days. Furthermore, it was smelly like canalization all around (but probably not the mistake of the restaurant). My mistake, I came to such obvious place (it was almost empty and the other restaurants around were busy:D), but yeah,...

Great atmosphere a little off from the hustle and bustle. However, despite it not being as busy as the kiosks along the copcacabana beach. they took almost 20 minutes to take hour order and it had been 45 minutes by the time we got our food.

The food was bland and could have used more salt. The 40 dollar picanha on the rechargeable was not worth the cost. Actually none of it was. I spent the same amount at Aprizavel and got way better food.

The order and payment receipt system is antiquated and likely led to the challenges.

I was dealing with an angry wife and a starving toddler. I was excited to go and had convinced my wife.

Update: we got food...

I really didn't like this restaurant. It's the first time I felt like I wanted to get up and leave immediately after sitting down. I knew it was going to be a bad decision but my wife insisted we stay. This probably isn't a fair review because I didn't want to eat there in the first place. After looking at the menu I knew it wouldn't be a good experience. I just told the waiter I wanted steak and fries and he brought me 10 small pieces of steak and enough fries to feed literally, not exaggerating 20 people.

Just a really...
