The food is great, all manner of meat served fresh off the spit at your table, an unlimited sushi and salad bar and a selection of side dishes of fries, rice, onion rings etc. Go very hungry, it's not bad value at R$105 per person but not great either as this is excluding drinks AND dessert AND the 10% service...

We wanted to go Rio Brasa, but was quite far. So we went Porcaos as it was famous and near our apartment. They try the usual tricks by tempting you with the seafood buffet. We took as little from the buffet as possible as we wanted to load up on the meats on our last meal in Brazil. The staff... More

Wouldn't go back here in a hurry, it was recommended by the hotel who I gather were incentivised to send people there. Sure the meat was plentiful, but decor was terrible, wine expensive and waiters too pushy. Wouldn't say it is the best value either, depending on how much food you manage to put away - R$140pp with drinks from... More

The salad bar was smaller than expected and some of the meat was on the dry side. It was a good experience, but not as delicious as other Brazilian BBQ places that I have been to. The deserts were wonderful. It is convenient to those staying in Ipanema, but it is off of the beach area so no views.

I have eaten at two other Porcão churrascaria restaurants in Rio. I ate for the first time at this particular restaurant in April 2013. The other restaurants set the bar very high, and I am happy to report that this restaurant hits the mark. The salad bar has a lot of item other than simply lettuce and a few vegetables.... More

Great food, to get the best value of this you need to go there feeling hungry, and take your time . Try to get a window seat.

If like me you love steak and sushi this is the place to go. The quality of the food is first class. The service is also amazing. We went more than once and the waiter even remembered our preferences. It is expensive by rio standards but for what you get it's amazing. Why not spoil yourself.

It was recommended we go here and it didn't let us down. The food was great lots of selection. Service was very good, they keep offering you more and more food. If you order something they just keep bringing more. Vegetarians have plenty of choice, meat eaters will be in heaven!
