"Chef Roberta Ciasca... cooks an inventive menu with panache, pairing duck trouxinha dumplings with caramelized orange, pepper-crusted tuna with lentil ragout, or stewing up spicy prawn moquecas with curry."

"Blink and you could miss this hip Botafogo eatery housed in a tiny white colonial building and furnished entirely with pieces from the 1950s to the 1970s."

If you are planning to eat a full meal you may want to opt for one of the Formica tables but make sure you grab that spot on the couch for dessert and an after-dinner drink.
DK Eyewitness
"Light, flavorsome Mediterranean food and some of the finest caipirinhas in the city are served in this atmospheric brick-lined restaurant and mini-lounge bar."

"Located in a nineteenth- century house typical of Botafogo, with a relaxed dining area decorated in a retro 1960s style, this treasure of a restaurant deserves going slightly out of the way for."
