Aleksandra GarbaczDecember 20, 2016There's no better place to head for a sunset after visiting Sugar Loaf. Very authentic place for a cold beer and something to bite. Get the shrimp pastry, find a spot to seat and enjoy the sea view.
Rodrigo VazOctober 9, 2017It’s not even by far one of the best bars in the city,but is one of the most famous.Don’t expect great food,comfort and even a good service,but an amazing view and one of the best atmospheres ever.

AFAR MediaFebruary 4, 2015Check out cheap beers, tasty bar food, and free WiFi at this hole in the wall on the very southern tip of Urca. The view at sunset is unbeatable. Read more
- Being able to sip ice cold beers outdoors, a couple of meters above the waters of Guanabara Bay with a wonderful view, along with delicious snacks such as shrimp pastéis is too perfect to be true.
Nikhil ShahFebruary 6, 2015Great for a hot day. Eat at the snack bar, not the restaurant - grab your food and sit on the wall overlooking the sea. Signature dish is the delicious seafood broth served in a polystyrene cup!
Ish RaiMarch 7, 2019The Milanese shrimp and prawn pastels. The view is gorgeous and the crowd is local and trendy. Great place to people watch- Colm LinehanJanuary 2, 2016Sit on the seawall and order starters, or go to the restaurant upstairs. Cod balls are fabulous. Beware the size of the Sao Paulo shrimp. Easily enough for 6 people to share.
- Ada UbreziMarch 10, 2014Autentic experience in Rio, with beautiful sunset and place to chillax...great local pastry, service and caipirihna - locals do not save up on amount of cacacha in your drink :) amazing!
Really nice place. You can go there for the restaurante upstairs or to seat outside. Both options are great. The food is really good.
It's one of the best "bolinho de bacalhau" from Rio de Janeiro! Try the Original beer with them, and... the view is awesome in the sunset!
Culinary BackstreetsNovember 1, 2014Heaping platters of polvo grelhado (grilled squid), arroz com brócolis (rice with broccoli), and risottos. One plate can easily feed 3 for lunch.
Nishan KumaravelMarch 18, 2015Grab a beer and some eats (eg. Seafood soup, fried sardine) grab a seat at the wall and enjoy the scenery
Jason RosenbergMay 1, 2013Grab an Antarctica Original an some fried foods from the counter on the lower level, walk across the street and set up on the sea wall. Locals watch the sunset and chill out.
Enjoy the view with some nice caipirinha (please with cachaça Velho Barreiro), the sea stew in the plastic glass will keep you going for hours.
Alexandre FavoritoAugust 9, 2014Empadinha of absolutely any flavour is 100% win win! On top of that the bear is served in a perfect temperature. Top tip weekends are way too busy
Can ÖzencJanuary 22, 2016Great bar seafood. Chill atmosphere outside near the wall. Bolinho de bacalhao and the crab cakes were delicious.
Arthur MitchellOctober 6, 2019An Iconic bar and restaurant with filling food and good cocktails. Read the how to pee in the WC.
Carmen da SilvaAugust 26, 2011Best time to arrive in winter (August) was 3 or 4pm. Just grab a beer or caipirinha and sit on the wall overlooking the beautiful sunset and boats.
Anna KuchmiySeptember 18, 2018Beautiful place to enjoy beer and to see the sunset! Lovely experience!
Алексей КудряшовMarch 3, 2014Great seafood. Liked it the most among others local reztaraunts i've been at.Definitely worth visiting!
Kenneth TaulDecember 27, 2014Cool place to hang out in the afternoon. Just for snacks and drinking beers👍
SuperNat13November 29, 2012grab a beer and go to the sidewalk, by the sea, to contemplate one of the best views you can have
Patricia Ramos GuimaraesMay 21, 2010The most beautiful view of Rio de Janeiro, after Cristo (It's on my "to do" list). A carioca program: drinking beer on the sidewalk, eating pasty and watching the sunset...
Jared CunhaJuly 31, 2012Great traditional brazilian restaurant. Definitely get some caldinho do frutas do mar.
Alexandre MunhozMarch 31, 2019The whole experience is what matters here.. the view, nature, the people... the food itself is ok
Eduards SizovsJanuary 3, 2018View is good, prices are too high for the average food. WiFi doesn’t work.
- Carmen da SilvaAugust 26, 2011Travel tip: save on cab rides from Ipanema Beach by taking bus 511 to Urca and then take bus 512 back.
Carolina de OliveiraSeptember 17, 2011Beautiful sunset along with natives, "pasteizinhos" and beer, very 'carioca'
