One of the top-rated seafood restaurants in the Copacabana area, it doesn’t disappoint. Close to the beach, it can become busy but we get there early and almost have the place to ourselves. The seafood paella is very good and heavy, big portion, we ended up taking home left over that was good enough for dinner for us. Don’t miss this place when in the area, you won’t regret it.

Food: live local crab ( unknown name) seasoning well, not to much crab meat. Fun to eat but not tasting all that good. Messy too.
Lobster: large side. Frozen. Seasoning good . Good meat
Crab claws: good but expensive. Not a good value.
Octopus: not good. Cooked too soft and not good seasoning.
Red wine: not good
White white: ok
Service: exceptional
Atmosphere: very loud
Took a long time for food to come out.
Final bill : $200 USD or more for 2 people including service charge. Server was really really nice so we tip him extra.
There was English menu but they dont speak English. Google translate was handy for us.

Tasty food and good service, but very pricey. We had the mixed seafood grill platter and bolinhos de bacalhau (8 pieces), beer and sangria. That came to be R640 without tips. To be fair I think this could have easily fed 4, but since we wanted variety, we ended up with a lot of leftovers.

Outstanding seafood! We came here to European dinner time (6pm) on a Monday. We directly good seated and could order the first drinks. The Menu is huge. We decided to stay with a lot of little appetisers to get a little overview about the different seafoods.
We had crab, shrimp, squid, cod fish, and some vegetables on the side. Everything was outstanding. My personal favourite were the fried crab claws - absolutely stunning. The food was super fresh and came fast. I guess this was due to the empty restaurant.
The prices are ok. U get what u pay. So quite fair!
We would highly recommend this place next to Copacabana beach!

Good quality and tasty sea food. I ordered mixed seafood option and it was 290 BRL + %10 tip. They told me it is for 1 person but it was not for one person. It may be enough for 2 people. Seafood was fresh. It was a bit expensive because mixed option had lobster in it. Service was good.

A seafood spot that was recommended to my wife and I by a local - it did not disappoint. The prices may seem high at first glance, but keep in mind the plates are for two...and we mean for four. They delivered an entire sea bass to our table which was beautifully prepared with a taste to match. The waiters are welcoming & very helpful in guiding you through the menu and picking out your meal for the night. Sometimes even literally by walking you over to the crab tanks. The best thing here is that you will not find many tourists.

The food wasn’t fresh and meat was overcooked. Do not recommend. They scam tourists by giving them food that’s not fresh as tourists would never come back. Overpriced as well

The Sea Bass Plata de Mar, and the Seafood Soup was amazing, fresh food, and awesome service. It is more on the pricey side, but the cost is well worth the taste and service. I highly recommend it.
