New favorite spot! The dishes were incredible, highly recommend the first pasta option with shrimp. It was so flavorful and HUGE portion. Skip the cheese filled bread, was very bland. Passion fruit juice was also delicious! The meals are a bit overpriced in my opinion.

The Grill from Ipanema is one of my go to restaurants in the city. Food is wonderful and very different from most of the run of the mill restaurants in the city. My friend worked in Brazil for quite a few years, and told me she thinks the food is very authentic. The moqueca with fish is one of my favorite dishes. The staff is always welcoming and service oriented. I would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant for any occasion, and even more so for a special occasion.

The food was delicious! I the 3-course brunch & chose Sopa de Sururu (spicy mussel soup), Moqueca de Peixe a Baiana (stew), Romeu & Julieta (guava paste w/ cheese dessert), & Caiparinha cocktail. Delicious!!!
