My last day in Rio :( But I’ll be back sooner than expected ;)
After a hard day (especially the night) I needed the wake up call really badly in order to wake up. I stood up and my head wasn’t killing me, but wasn’t all right either. I was smart and before going to bed I left all my clothes ready for the next day and almost packed everything, because we were leaving
I called Blair, thinking he was already awake, but he was still sleeping. While he was getting ready, I had time to go to the front desk and checked out. I just left my bags at Blair’s. He didn’t’ have time to check out before leaving to the meeting. Before the meeting, which was delayed at last minute we went to the Cathedral. Our appointment was in a building almost in front of the Cathedral, so I had some time to go there and this time nobody could stop me, hehehe.
Finally we had our meeting and it was a good one.
It was almost 3pm when we left the restaurant. My friend was supposed to drive me back to the hotel in order to meet Blair and get ready to leave. But he had to do a presentation and asked me to join him. So I went to his work, hehehe. We were thinking it would just take 30min, but took much longer. We were ready about 6 and I didn’t have time to do some shopping Blair wanted me to do. So I asked him to drive me straight to the hotel. He was also thinking about going to buy a bottle of cachaça, but it was late.
I said good bye to my friend and met Blair.
At 7:30pm we left the hotel in our way to the airport. The traffic was crazy, but we arrived on time to take our flight to
See you soon,
This place has many things to write about it. So, I'd try to do my best:
Ok, regarding the food: Porcao makes the Brazilian rodizio style, it means waiters serve everything all the time and you pay a fixed price. The meat is amazing, even if you are not a huge meat fan. Once you sit down the waiters will come with many different cuts of meat that they carve onto your plate. Use the little tongs they give you to hold the meat while they cut. Let them know how cooked you like your meat, so the ones who come to you will be the ones who have your favorite ones. They're usually all over you trying to stuff as much steak as possible. For me the best cut was: the Picanha (Top sirloin cut very lean and juicy, golden brown on the outside and medium rare inside)
But you don´t have to be a carnivorous meat lover to enjoy this place. They also have a great salad bar with everything you can imagine (sushi, breads, cheese, salads, soup, etc).
As appetizers, they will serve you different things, but my favorites were: Pao De Queijo (Brazilian cheese bread) & Banana Frita (Fried Cinnamon-glazed bananas).
Now, the service is excellent. The waiters are extreamly helpful and can't see you with an empty plate. They are always changing the dirty dishes and bringing more meat and sides. It seems they have everyone covered and are constantly looking out for their customers
This very well designed restaurant has a big plus: the location! They are in Flamengo in Aterro do Flamengo. So just the view of the Sugar Loaf and Guanabara Bay is breathtaking.
Everything here is perfect. The vibe is excellent. It might be more expensive than other places, but definitely is worth! Make an effort and you won't regret.
