"I had my late lunch here at around 3pm. It's a buffet, and you pay by kilo. The plate is already heavy, so take as much as you can and fill your plate with food. Just make sure you can finish it, no left over. I paid 58 BRL with coca cola as drink. Thank you chef! I'm a Filipino in Rio de janeiro."

"I had lunch at this restaurant as part of a tour, and the quality of the food was great. Drinks and desserts aren’t included, so keep in mind you’ll pay extra for those. While the food wasn’t labeled for allergens, I have coeliac disease and the chef went out of his way to guide me on what was safe to eat. He even prepared some meat separately just for me, absolute legend! I didn’t catch his name, but he was a bald, black gentleman in the kitchen who clearly cared about his craft and his guests. Much appreciated!"
