Alyssa GuoJanuary 5, 2015The 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- Michael MortJanuary 3, 2014All 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!
PaoloNovember 7, 2017A 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.
Ana Carolina MirandaDecember 13, 2015One 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
PaulaJanuary 25, 2016Fantastic! 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!
DevontaJanuary 27, 2018The organic chicken curry is AMAZING and the ambiance of the space is very relaxed and chill. Perfect for a dinner date.
- Alessandra ChenAugust 31, 2012Cosy 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!!!
Gijsbregt BrouwerAugust 10, 2016Best and coziest place in ipanema. Brazilian food with a twist. Curry is great and tapiocas as well
Chelsea KOctober 18, 2018Great hidden gem in Ipanema. Nice fusion touch. Thai style sautéed squid was really good. Also good ambience & service.
- Taz (✿╹◡╹)March 24, 2016Excellent and fresh food, though a bit pricey. Lunch sets are interesting during the week. Decorations are unique as well:)
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! 🍸🍹
Jessica LinMarch 18, 2018Small place, cool atmosphere! Food was amazing, pricey but definitely worth it. Make a reservation if you’re planning on showing up past 8:30pm.
Gareth JonesDecember 23, 2014Get there early to avoid the queues. They're skilled at making cocktails and the spicy chicken curry was delicious.
heidi harmanSeptember 22, 2019The fish is fabulous! On a bed of broccoli with roasted coconut chips this dish is a gem!
Ingrid FrederichiNovember 9, 2017Perfect for dates, the old house is full of lights and has a really interesting cozy and romantic space.
Alysson SantosApril 16, 2018Cozy, 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.
This place is GREAT. When in Rio I must visit here and eat the great food and nice selection of drinks.
- Jason WeeMarch 3, 2017Love Asian foods. Some portions are good for 2 though... if u r typical Asians like me and my friends. The sorbet is yum!
Ralph vdPMay 15, 2018Excellent food and very cute restaurant! It was slightly more expensive than the restaurants in the neighborhood, but the quality was very good.
HewApril 10, 2013Great 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.
Sammy R.February 17, 2014Best meal of my weekend trip in Rio. Great food, drinks, and service. Be sure to sit upstairs and order the banana carpaccio for dessert!
mark cDecember 4, 2012Awesome 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.
Fabio CarrieroOctober 13, 2010Zaza 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!
Iggy GolowiczJanuary 9, 2019Try the ginger capivodkas and the curries and go early to get a seat upstairs 🌈 friendly area ❤️
Liis MällNovember 4, 2013The best food in Rio yet. Try the tuna & salmon tartar...perfect :) nice atmosphere & great english-speaking staff
Antoine MoreauSeptember 9, 2017Great ambiance, delicious food (try the curry!) and tasty caipirinhas! Nice date spot!
Jessica NolteAugust 15, 2016Amazing food!! The place is super cozy. And they have delicious drinks. Definitely not to be missed.
Mark CáceresFebruary 21, 2016This place is a must for dinner. Dine upstairs and get the camarão with lemon risotto.
Gabriel AbreuOctober 14, 2017romantic setting with nice food. second floor is specials, with seating on the floor and no shoes allowed.
Abby MartinezSeptember 6, 2019Fancy auqafaba cocktails. This is probably the only place you can order a vegan Pisco sour!
SuperNat13November 20, 2012excellent Brazilian dishes with oriental influences. It has a lovely outside terrace, which is quite rare in Rio.
Nathan EadsJune 1, 2019Grilled octopus is delicious, friendly service, English and Spanish also spoken here.
Barbara Wolff DickMay 20, 2014Good place to take gringos. Drinks are creative and good, but a bit pricy. Gotta try the grilled octopus.- Kaylee bbcDecember 4, 2023Tasted like heaven! I loved it, the service was nice, was also very diverse! Highly recommend :)
- Kostis HatzitaskosAugust 9, 2014Good for dates. The banana creme brûlée was excellent. Lots of foreigners/tourists though.
- Arnoud VernimmenNovember 2, 2018Friendly service, good food. Delicious. Definitely a place to visit!
TimonNovember 15, 2012You may be tempted to get a salad. Don't. Instead opt for two orders of the Threaded spareribs and shrimp Samosas served with smoked mango chutney.
VOctober 4, 2014The tapioca starter here is what all the other tapiocas in Brazil are aspiring to become.
Guilherme MedeirosOctober 19, 2014They charge 20% of service on the bill and in Brazil the common is 10% optional. I think the service of 10% was more than enough for a bar with lack of beers and no visa credit card machine working
Marcel P.February 28, 2016Try the shredded lamp shoulder. with ravioli, mint and almonds. This is so good!
