If you are in Ipanema and want to eat in the place were Vinicius de Morais and Antonio Carlos Jobim composed the famous song THE GIRL FROM IPANEMA you will not be too disappointed. The place is OK. The prices could be less expensive, but the serving is quite generous. If you and your company do not eat too much, can easely share a dish and will not go hungry home. Yesterday I shared a beef stroganoff with my good old friend comedy actor/writer Marco Palito and it was very decent and plenty of food. I recomend it. In the bathroom they posted the entire lyrics of THE GIRL FROM IPANEMA up on the wall. You can hum the tune while you pee... The address is Rua Vinicius de Moraes, 49 Ipanema, tel: (21) 2522-0340.
