Rio de Janeiro Reports

[Eric Cartman]

Popped into Cancun wiskeria the other night. Very quiet. They let me go upstairs and take a look in the boate, but there was a lot of confusion upstairs with the manager there freaking out about me not putting a robe on to walk into the boate (even though I speak good portuguese and explained). Consumption is BRL 70 in the wiskeria, but if later you go up to the boate and robe up, they'll charge you the boate entrada as well.

What actually pissed me off about the wiskeria wasn't the wiskeria pricing, it was that they add a 10 pct service charge to your entire bill including the full programa. I had an hour upstairs for BRL 330 and with the 70 consumption it should have come to BRL 400. But it was BRL 440. And when I asked them to explain the difference, it was "10 pct service charge" on everything. Kinda poor form, I thought. I had been planning to tip the server anyway, but that was kind of lame to have it forced on me.

Now I know a bunch of you are like, Cartman you cheap bastard! OK, fair enough, what's USD 12 or so between friends right? But I just though it was kind of clip-jointy to do.

By the way the boate was way more hoppin' then the wiskeria. If you can find a gal or two to keep you company in the wiskeria -- and maybe you can identify them with a quick recce in the boate -- so be it. But sometimes the robe and madness in the boate is more fun.

Sperto,

As always, you provide some of the best information on this forum. Haven't been to either place in some time, but will be sure to return soon. Thanks for the reminder.

You also can get garlic fried shrimp and salmon with Maracuj sauce as well as other frutos do Mar. At Carreto on Rua Siqueira Campos if you are nice and know the secret handshake. I also have eaten sushi there countless times with no ill effects.

BTW, next time you are in Japan take the cooks tour or just walk the alleys behind the sushi restaurants. You might have second thoughts about eating what goes out the front door.

Yeah would be great information if the NAMES of the places were included. The risks are inherent and known.

For fish places including NAMES- not showing off local knowledge but then dismissing everyone reading it as not worthy, afraid or simply not carioca da gema and local enough not to get shot here it goes-.

In my experience I always eat fish including grilled fish, sushi etc at Churrasco do Kilo Copacabana posto 5-.

I always eat grilled salmon at Brasilieiro, Ave Atlantica and The Kilo on Siqueria Campos isn't bad either.

A 3rd spot is Brasiliero off Nossa Senhora on the little square where Hotel Debret is located. Sorry -addy escapes me but theres only 2 restaurants there and both brazilian and v good grilled fish.

Even the world famous,150 year old but a lil pricey Noca Capela in Lapa has good salmon etc and grilled fish.

Enjoy.

Got sick from mussels in Sao Paulo, but got excellent fish in Rancho Acoriano in Floripa. It was so good that I ate there twice in two days.

Actually the best hookers and food are to be found in the States but the hookers are over the top expensive.

Great with the new food thread.

One of the best restaurants in Rio to have fish and seafood is located in a favela. They got awarded many times in competitions. Absolutely superdelicious food! Currently that favela suffers from some shootouts between rival gangs so I don't mention the restaurants name. I would hate to hear that some forum members got caught in tiroteio and shit their pants while eating their lunch.

There is another great seafood restaurant in Rio for the hungry ones. All you can eat rodizio at a cost of roughly R$70. This place is far away from Zona Sul. I can't recall I ever seen any gringos there. Lets keep it that way.

Its very difficult to get good fish anywhere in the world no matter how developed the country is. I got tainted fish in a highly regarded restaurant here in Germany. I would like to think the best you can get would be in the Caribbean islands.

Satyricon in Ipanema and Buzios, they have their own fishing boats in Cabo Frio, doesn't get any fresher or better in Rio!

[Vagabundo1]

The view and dessert make the meal kkk.

I can't stand seafood and fish in Brazil. The savor is not really good even in the best restaurants. When you are used to eating the best fish and seafood of the world everyday, you have no more interest in eating the same food in another country because the taste is not really good, go to Japan you ll see the real difference. Meat and chicken in Japan are disgusting, the only thing in Brazil I like is meat and chicken. I only ate fish and seafood in Japan since I arrived in Brazil I only eat meat and chicken.

I did not come to Br for fish or seafood.

The best fish I've had in Rio is in:

A) Paella on the main strand at Buzios, after days of water taxi between the beaches with a 18 yo negra BBFS unlimited, for free (great while it lasted).

B) Arrail do Cabo, with a local girl picking a fresh fish dish at a sea side restaurant.

C) Filet de peixe belmunier at Na Brasa Colombia, Botafogo.

I've been out at Buzios on and off with a girl. Or two.

Recce of the locals beaches is worth it, though dangerous.

I had a third world girl in Buzios.

With a pistol on each hand.

She always kept me covered.

As we moved from land to land.

The best seafood and fish you can get is Japan. But meat and chicken is disgusting there.

During my very first vacation to Rio, about halfway through the trip I had some sushi. I got violently ill and was afraid the rest of my vacation would be ruined! Lucky for me the illness only lasted for one day, and then I was right back on it. I have not had anymore seafood in Brazil since. I would try some again, but think I will stay away from the sushi down there for good!

My vacation has been ruined for 2 days, I went with Carla yesterday in 4 por 4, I did not get my dick hard because of my tiredness and sickness. I ate some sushi and seafood in the restaurants and some food on the street and visited some trash places.

Advise: Never go to Chinese restaurants, never eat on the street, never chill in trash places, never eat any seafood in Brazil. If you don't want your vacation to be ruined. Just avoid bacterias because your body is not used to the local food, that is why many travellers get sick.

[Turgid]

There's something lacking in Brazilian seafood restaurants. I order local fish when given a chance. For a country with a long coast, I don't think the Brazilian supply chain ensures the quality and freshness of domestic or imported fish. Someone recently criticized the sushi in So Paulo a city with 500,000 Japanese descendants. He's right.

I forgot to add, there are a number of fish restaurants on that street, take your pick! Have a look on google streetview.
