Outstanding--one of the best meals I have had in Rio. Located in Jardim Botanico, away from the tourists. Started off with couvert which contained homemade focaccia and roasted garlic--excellent. Upon my waiters recommendation I had the lasagne, which could have been the best I have ever had. Washed it down with a glass of Malbec and finished it off with an Apple Tartine with rich vanilla ice cream. With tip, came to about $42-44 US....need to come back for their famous 11 hour marinated chicken next time.
Owner of this French-Mediterranean bistro also operates Cafe Candalai, cafe/epicure, just up the street.
