The service was incredibly slow. We waited an hour for our food at about 2 pm on a slow Thursday. The food arrived and was inedible. The ceviche was incredibly tart with lime juice, almost inedible. Please see photo for a “‘medium” steak…. Keep in mind this steak took an hour to arrive. I would not recommend this restaurant to locals or tourists. I am disappointed and embarrassed that I included this restaurant on the schedule for my group.

Térèze restaurant strikes the perfect balance between upscale elegance and casual comfort. The dimly lit interior allows the city views to shine through large windows, while the glass-enclosed wine room showcases an impressive international selection. Despite its sophistication, the ambiance is cozy and inviting.

The menu is thoughtfully curated and impressively inclusive, with clear indications for vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and other dietary needs, ensuring there’s something for everyone.

We started with a simple yet high-quality plate of butter, bread, radishes, and salt, setting the tone for the meal. The Tartar de Cogumelos, light and flavorful, was followed by a perfectly cooked and tender steak. The standout dishes were the Gnocchi de Beterraba and the Steak de Namorado au Poivre (which is actually, beautifully, a fish dish). The gnocchi, tender and vibrant, was a visual and culinary delight, while the fish combined buttery, peppery, sweet, and creamy flavors without overwhelming the palate.

Located in a charming part of Rio we might not have otherwise visited, Térèze was a delightful experience. The friendly staff, particularly Thiago and Andrew, made our ordering process seamless, even in English. A well-deserved stop during our travels in Brazil.

One of our favorite brunches in Rio! Hotel also looks amazing.. had we known, we would have stayed here. Santa Teresa is a truly special neighborhood and the hotel, with its history of being a coffee fazenda, with beautiful views, make the setting quite unique. The buffet was delicious and varied, with great options for all food restrictions, and the entrees were also quite well done. The best part was the service.. they made us feel very welcome and were so attentive! We would love to come back one day!

If you're in the Santa Teresa area, make sure to check out this hidden gem of a restaurant located inside a hotel. As soon as you step through the hotel entrance, you'll feel transported to a different world. Despite not having a reservation, I was pleasantly surprised to be able to snag a table for dinner. The service was excellent at first, but understandably became less attentive as the restaurant got busier. However, it didn't detract from my overall enjoyment of the evening.

While I wasn't a huge fan of the bottle of wine I had, I was enamored by the restaurant's romantic atmosphere and cozy ambiance. The dinner itself was excellent and reasonably priced. Although I didn't have the opportunity to sit by the window, I caught a glimpse of the stunning valley and surrounding mountains from afar.

Don't miss out on this restaurant if you're in the area. It's well worth a visit.
