| - I know and eat great traditional Brazilian food, so I am hard to please, but Rio always delivers ;).
First of all, their feijao has to be some of the best. I love the fact that it's traditional black beans, the only thing that is a downer- the fact that the farofa is almost $3.00, should be free considering it's farofa, who has beans without it?!!!??
My friend and I decided to go to rio yet again last night on a Sunday. We got there for 7:30 and there was only a couple of tables of people which we found odd at first but then we remembered our fellow Brazilians only like to eat dinner close to 8-9pm (which is exactly the truth because by the time we left at 9, there was a full house).
They start you off with some delicious toasted garlic bread- different but delicious and I had something to eat with my left over beans (improvise!)
I decided to switch things up a bit (usually I order the picanha) and went with the peito de frango com molho de cogumelos (grilled chicken breast with mushroom sauce)- served with rice and french fries.
AMAZING. I am not joking when I say it looked as if I licked my plate clean- nothing was left behind.
My friend got the bitoque but with chicken, hers was served with a fried egg (the now chicken with ham on top), fries, rice and salad. She also loved her meal.
Portion size is large, so come on an empty tummy.
Service was good, our waitress was kind and sweet, There was a mix up on the wine for our bill (over charged) but it was an innocent mistake.
Rio never disappoints in my opinion- will obviously return. ;)
