Giuseppe Mar

This place was so good it deserves a 6th star ⭐ • Food was out of this world. From the homemade pasta to the fresh seafood, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. • Service was above and beyond. I'm talking exemplary. We sent our waiter an extra tip as he took such excellent care of us. • The lunch scene was a vibe and we enjoyed every second of it • The profiteroles dessert made me weak in the knees. I probably would have licked the plate clean if I was alone The whole meal made me want to pitch a tent and never leave this place. Giuseppe watch out - I'm moving in!

Great atmosphere, even for a mall restaurant. It’s like you’re transported to a Mediterranean oasis. Food was all really good - especially the squid ink pasta with scallops. The mini pots all small but packed with food and good for sharing. Service was very slow and took a long time in between courses.

Guiseppe Mar is located in the Village Mall, a short drive from the beach in Barra. The seafood here was all fantastic - especially the grilled octopus!

Wasn’t sure what to think of this place since it was in a mall bu man was I pleasantly surprised. The fresh seafood and seasoned food was amazing. Service was great. I was so pleased by how seasoned everything was even the mashed potatoes. The broth in the mussels was so good I wish I asked for a straw. Or maybe more bread. Being one who always needs a little salt and pepper at any place… I didn’t even want it. The potatoes were creamy and buttery. And the salmon crisp skin and moist. A must try.

High end seafood restaurant. Worth the money. Excellent fresh seafood. Hostess was super friendly and helpful. Highly recommended by my concierge at Grand Hyatt Hotel. I can see why. Probably the best seafood restaurant in the Barra area. Located inside the luxury village mall. Beautiful atmosphere, seafood is expensive here but you pay for quality and freshness. Had the small plate crab, small plate scallops, crab claw appetizer, octopus(super fresh and tender it’s perfection), and giant prawns I mean giant. If you are craving fresh high quality seafood, this is absolutely the place. Amazing service, very attentive.

The ambiance is striking. It looks like you are in a fancy mediterranean beach (when in fact the restaurant is inside a shopping mall). The food is very good overall. The tuna tartar was not that special, but tasty. The haddock, with champagne sauce, is a flavor experience, it is SO GOOD. The dessert I chose was the cocada mole petit gateau, a fun Brazilian twist in a french classic. Would definitely go back.

We had appetizers and sangria. Oysters Rockefeller were okay. My Wife ordered Cod and it was too fishy. I ordered grilled Octopus and it was okay. The bill with taxes and tip was almost $160 for two people. A big price for not the greatest food!

Always excellent service and food. I highly recommend coming here. You can stroll through one of the most fashionable malls in Rio. At this restaurant it’s all about seafood, they have nice wine here too!
