Chef Ludmila is the best secret of Rio. Come and have fun, enjoy the amazing atmosphere and delicious creations. Only the best ingredients and non-pretentious cousine.

Our best meal in visiting Rio. Don't be fooled tho, it's certainly NOT Asian cuisine. I had the beef stew w/ wine sauce & poached egg & my wife had the filet mignon w/ risotto. Both were excellent.

marbled walls + a sunken kitchen area where food is grilled in front of your eyes, then doused in mouthwatering sauces. It also produces best tortellini in the country, + a huge range of cocktails.

The fish of the day dish with mushrooms, mustard green and truffle is the best main I have eaten in 9 months of travelling, maybe ever

Get the goat cheese and mixed green salad to start. And make sure to leave room for the brownie and vanilla ice cream--wow!

The tuna with hearts of Palm "pasta" with horseradish infused cream is a winner.

Camarões com risoto de grana e farofa; filé mignon com batatas de queijo e cebolas caramelizadas; namorado com caldo surpresa de cogumelos e pure de baroa. Três principais maravilhosos.

Adorei o filé mignon com risoto de queijo de cabra e crispo de alho poró, mesmo eu não gostando muito de queijo de cabra o prato estava divino. E de sobremesa brigadeiro com biscoito Maria, hummm!

O cardápio inteiro divino. Comemos a burrata, lula com pesto, croquete de cordeiro, filé com risotto chevre, banana assada e goiabada com sorvete de iogurte. Saimos super satisfeitos do balcão.

Atendimento muito bom! Poderiam colocar mais garçons que falem inglês! Sofri demais traduzindo tudo pra uma mesa com muitos estrangeiros 😁😁😁. O pato (da foto) estava muito bom!!!

O melhor prato é o Atum semicru. Para beber, vinho Colomé e, de sobremesa, brigadeiro de biscoito Maria. Ah! Se for se dar o luxo de beber uma água Voss, peça para a garrafa vir lacrada.

Sente no balcão. O chefe apresenta os pratos que vão saindo e você conhece como o zuka funciona. Pedimos ceviche, camarão em crosta, atum selado e ovos moles. Tudo recomendadissimo.

Vegetarianos: apostem no cuscuz com legumes grelhados -os cogumelos são sensacionais. Na entrada, palmito com molho de queijo é o que há.

Não me importo em pagar caro por comida boa, mas a porção do petit gateau de chocolate branco é vergonhosa de pequena em relação às demais sobremesas do cardápio e todas custam em torno de R$ 18.

Melhor atum com pupunha da vida!!!!! Perfeito! O brigadeiro de sobremesa tb é incrível, vale cada caloria!
