Check out the grilled sea bass with sweet and sour caramelized bananas and the petit gateau cake with milk caramel. Culinary creativity has made Zaza a very popular place, so you’ll need reservations. Read more

The food and atmosphere is amazing. We went at 9PM on Sunday night and had a table by 930 even though they said an hour. The appetizer sampler is a must and the chicken curry is divine. Top in rio

All delicious and exceeded expectations! Very much enjoyed octopus, cous cous, risotto and nomorado. Get everything with a group and share a bit of each with one another. Also ceviche chips amazing!

One Of the best restaurants I've ever been! The decor is super cute and the dishes are divine! Cocktails are also amazing. Pricey but it worths

A delicious experience of taste! Food is well taken care of and tasty. Cosy place, we set upstairs because of availability, there you sit on couch at small table. A lot of local guests.

Fantastic! No words for this place. The menu has so many tasty things it is almost impossible to choose! Try the warm mix of appetizers, the chicken curry and the 'vermelho' fish. Yum!

The organic chicken curry is AMAZING and the ambiance of the space is very relaxed and chill. Perfect for a dinner date.

EVERYTIME in Rio I can't skip it. The food is amazingly exquisite and the best are the drinks. Try at least 2. And if you're not driving, try them all! 🍸🍹

Great hidden gem in Ipanema. Nice fusion touch. Thai style sautéed squid was really good. Also good ambience & service.

Cosy place with amazing food!! Second floor is a Must go! You have to take off your shoes, such an interesting place to eat! Braseado de polvo is just the best!!!

Perfect for dates, the old house is full of lights and has a really interesting cozy and romantic space.

Small place, cool atmosphere! Food was amazing, pricey but definitely worth it. Make a reservation if you’re planning on showing up past 8:30pm.
Alysson SantosApril 16, 2018
Cozy, romantic and a great place for a first date. Also fits big groups, but waiting time to get a table will be a bit longer.

Excellent food and very cute restaurant! It was slightly more expensive than the restaurants in the neighborhood, but the quality was very good.

Get there early to avoid the queues. They're skilled at making cocktails and the spicy chicken curry was delicious.

Great food. Great ambiance. This is the kind of place where you can hardly go wrong with what you order. Easy reservations can be made via their website.

Best meal of my weekend trip in Rio. Great food, drinks, and service. Be sure to sit upstairs and order the banana carpaccio for dessert!

Love Asian foods. Some portions are good for 2 though... if u r typical Asians like me and my friends. The sorbet is yum!

Awesome funky restaurant in RDJ. Try to get a seat upstairs if you can. They only take online bookings so plan ahead or be prepared for a wait.

Fancy auqafaba cocktails. This is probably the only place you can order a vegan Pisco sour!
Fabio CarrieroOctober 13, 2010
Zaza is a party for your taste buds. Everything is so fresh and made with organic stuff. Try the chef selection for an appetizer since it gives you a taste of four different things. Enjoy!
