Wonderful view and what a spread!!!! One must go with a healthy apetite though to justify the 100U$ per person price tag!

The restaurant is located in a garden evironment, which was very romantic at night. They had a great salad selection and some sushi items, besides serving all types of meat on grilling sticks. Try the roasted chicken, prime ribs and pork ribs. Simply wonderful.

For 105real you have a cold buffet selection sushi bar but don't fill up on these or you want have enough room for the meat. You will receive a token saying yes one side and no on the other. When you show the yes sign on the table the waiters will be over in a shot offering all kinds of... More

Food is great, but very expensive. Great selection of steaks and sushi. Near Santos Dumont airport. The view of the ocean is great.

We were looking forward to trying the authentic Churrascaria experience after having tried a few in Sydney. The quality of meat at the Sydney based Churrascarias has always been quite good so my expectations were very high. Our hotel in Copa recommended this restaurant and organised a taxi to take us there. The restaurant itself is quite large and accommodates... More

I have been to several steak houses (churrascaria) in Brazil and I have to say this is the best from all. This restaurant is nicely placed near Flamengo beach and you can see sugar loaf. Service is excellent and they keep the standard really well. However, I have to note that, all these good things don't come for cheap price.... More

Porcão is a place you have to go when in Rio. Rodizio (all you can eat) concept is very common in Rio, and the best one is Porcão, which is a Churancaria, which specializes in beef. It is a little bit pricy, but if you do not fall into temptation and do not eat anything from the salad bar/buffet (which... More

Porcao Rio's is a quintessential Brazilian BBQ place. Beautifully located, overlooking the ocean, and serving a huge range of BBQ-ed meat. In addition thereto, there's a large salad bar and a (mediocre) offering of sushi. Forget about those though, the only reason to come here is the quality and quantity of the meat. Come prepared, don't wear tight skinny jeans... More

We asked our concierge for a typical Brazilian BBQ place and she sent us to this restaurant. The food was very good - tons of meat and a great salad bar and sushi bar. That said this is not the kind of place you want to go for a romantic first date. It is loud and there are many tables... More

You start with the superb salad, sushi and assorted fish bar, but this is about the meat, so don't eat too much at the help yourself buffet. The signature Brazilian drink is the Caipirinha made with cachaça. Porcao also offers a vodka version, but I recommend the cachaça. If you don't like it too sweet, ask to have only a... More
