After reading some of the post on this forum about David's Restaurant. I decided to go out for an evening to give them a try. The night before we had an positive experience at Kittie Bistro so I had a base to compare with. I can not say that there was not enough food on the table. Yes, big size... More

We had the picanha for 2, my daughter had a caldo verde soup (Portuguese traditional soup) and we had the linguiça as an entree. All the dishes were good - nothing spectacular. Good and quick service. AC was not on, it was quite hot in there. They added 10% gratuity at the end but you can ask to be removed.

Friendly service (very little English spoken) and good location on the main street in Buzios to watch the evening nightlife. Extensive menu at a reasonable price and better than other restaurants in similar location. It's not a destination restaurant but you will get a good meal, decent service at a reasonable price

We went to this restaurant as there are so many in the centre of Buzios that we couldn't decide and remembered good reviews of this place from trip advisor. The meal was average as was the service. Not worth going to when there are so many other better places in Buzios if you do a little research.

Davids was great. Great food and great service! The plate sizes are large so you don't need to order a lot. The crabmeat app and the frutos del mar app were my favorites. Gets busy on the weekends.

Unfortunately the restaurant is not at the same rate than its popularity. The ambient is cheap (not a problem) and the food is away from the perfection! I had a fish soup, not something unforgettable, and with a strange smell. I wanna think I had been just unlucky... The price is at Buzios' level.

In Buzios never kid yourself that anything is going to be "cheap" this restaurant, proudly touting that it's been around since 1972, is relatively cheaper. I arrived around 10pm and despite this the restaurant was bustling with people. The place felt unpretentious. If you are looking for fine dining this is not the place. They sell fish. My waiter bought... More

From the free Caipirinha to the best shrimp in Buzios, you won't be disappointed. Located across from Mr. Brad's, you also get to hear the great music but have a much better meal. Everything is good here and the wait staff is the best in the city. Also, very reasonably priced. Can't say enough good things.

We thought that as this restaurant was so busy, it must be good. Wrong! Below average steak - gristly and overcooked - huge portions of tastless rice - average salads. Nothing to go back for.
