We really enjoyed our time at this restaurant near post 4/5 in copacabana. We probably would not have ventured off to this street if our hotel had not recommended it to us but we are so glad we did ! Our server Juan Pedro was stoic but wonderful ! No detail was left un touched ! He was highly attentive and polite and happy to help us navigate our terrible attempts at Portuguese. We recieved 5 star service and enjoyed delicious food and atmosphere.

Pargo had more bones, as we were advised, but very fresh and well prepared. Excellent flan dessert (pudim de leche). Excellent caipivodkas, too. There's a reason they've been in...
Read moreOutstanding seafood! We came here to European dinner time (6pm) on a Monday. We directly good seated and could order the first drinks. The Menu is huge. We decided to stay with a lot of little appetisers to get a little overview about the different seafoods. We had crab, shrimp, squid, cod fish, and some vegetables on the side. Everything was outstanding. My personal favourite were the fried crab claws - absolutely stunning. The food was super fresh and came fast. I guess this was due to the empty restaurant. The prices are ok. U get what u pay. So quite fair! We would highly recommend this place next to...
