Bar do David

Listen...this place is great! The food is so good. Drinks are tasty too. The service was excellent. The owner is super nice. The have outdoor seating but there is also a small indoor area available. The ribs were my favorite

So much choice on the menu. Mind blowing flavours. Well worth a visit with a guide.

Incredible restaurant! Everything I tried was amazing but the ribs in particular stand out. Be sure to wash it down with a freezing cold beer. Did not realize how famous it was until we started talking to the owner.

This was absolutely amazing! From the first contact with the service until the moment we left. The best experience we had so far in Rio. So friendly stuff. The owner, David, came to say hello and had a little chat with us. Besides the warm welcome the food was outstanding. Especially the „small“ snacks - remarkable! I would highly recommend this place to everyone who wants a taste of Brazil on all levels. We will be back next week for sure.

Brilliant restaurant. The service was a bit slow and confused but the food made up for it. One of the best meals we had in Brazil! Please don't worry about the favella, it is super safe, arguably safer than the whole Copacabana. Funny story, we asked the waitress whether the pea soup is vegan, to which she said yes, she double checked with the kitchen to make sure there was no milk inside. Well, there may not have been any milk inside but there was a sausage, not so vegan after all :D

The food was excellent, way better than I had expected and actually one of the best meals I had in Brazil. Quite frankly, I had expected that the positive reviews were driven by the “favela experience”. Nothing like it - you can get excellent fool for half the price, compared to what you can get in Copacabana. And if you are concerned about safety, there’s really no need to. The place is technically in the favela, but you don’t need to go through any shady areas to get there. Just go and enjoy.

Best local bar/restaurant in the area. Fantastic food, even more fantastic are the owner/daughter and the atmosphere every other Sunday evenings!

excellent flavours, highly recommended this restaurant
