Make reservations if you want the scenic view table. Absolute magic. The food is the best I've had in Rio. Part of the fun is getting there with the steep hills! Good for romantic night or groups.

Get the heart of palm and ceviche! For drinks a pitcher of white sangria is a must. Don't forget to ask for a seat with a view. The restaurant is like a tree house with so many levels!

The views and ambiance make the food taste even better than it already does. Have the grilled heart of palm (right from the palm) it will change the way you look at hearts of palm forever!

The view alone make this restaurant a top choice. Add the unique atmosphere of a tropical treehouse and a Brazilian menu and you have one of our favorite restaurants.

Stunning views of Rio, rustic decor, fabulous service, and spectacular food. The prices are quite steep by Brazilian standards, but for any tourist it's an absolute must.

The place is a little far from the Zona Sul, but it was a good surprise. And the “Aprazível” beer mixed perfectly with the weather. Awesome!

Beautiful venue, beautiful view and good food. But a bit expensive and the way up there to Santa Teresa, or back down to the city again, can be an issue for a taxi. Anyway, it's all worth it!

Nice spot if you’re in the area. Highly recommend skipping the main courses which were somewhat underwhelming and go for appetizers, starters, and desserts instead! All great! Cocktails hit or miss…

Be sure to save room for the desserts, such as the steamed guava cooked in passion fruit sauce and the carimbó, Brazil nut ice cream served with cupuaçú jelly. (follow link for our full review) Read more

Big range of biodynamic and natural Brazilian wines. All from small producers and unfamiliar, but luckily knowledgeable and enthusiastic English-speaking sommelier on hand for help.

If you're going to get a bread basket, go all in: get the cheesy breads with the sausages. They are warm and moist cheesy bread balls stuffed with mini sausages. Really good.

Wonderful place for a sunset dinner! Mind that prices are high, but it is worthy. A couple dinner can cost U$D100,00 ;-)

Get the Pão de queijo (8 to an order) can’t decide which one to get? Ask your server to mix them up for you. Power play.

You'll pay for the view here, but the cuisine is good too, espeically the baiao de dois for dessert. A little tricky to find in Santa Teresa, so bring a map if you plan on walking it!

An unassuming doorway leads you down a staircase into this epicurean tree house in the hills of Santa Teresa. Come with a group — the bigger tables have the better views of Rio below.

The food is epic with great scenery as the restaurant is at in a treehouse. Service is very slow though and hard to get to. Make sure you cab. Steak was very rare and its house pale ale is quite good

Food is good but the environment is the best thing here. Try to be there for the Sunset and make a reservation on the porch, where you can have a nice view of the city!

The food was delicious and the views amazing,but the service was subpar. It took them 20 minutes to even ask us if we wanted water after we were seated. Also, the waiter never checked on us
