I was recommended to this place by a staff at the hostel. She said this is where the locals hang out. I absolutely adore the ambience, and the casual seating on the sidewalk created a super relaxed atmosphere. In my opinion, the matte cocktail and octopus are must try. Every item on the menu is exceptional - you really can't go wrong with anything here.

Probably the best place for a Thursday evening in Rio

Food is amazing (esp the grilled octopus sandwich), cocktails are creative and affordable (by now tried 13/16 on their menu), staff is super kind, atmosphere inside is great

Nice drinks, a bit overpriced. I am surprised that they have a smoke free area which is not open.
