Rubaiyat - Rio de Janeiro

Rubaiyat has everything; a great ambience, delicious food, impeccable service (thanks to Lucas), location is right opposite one of my favorites places in Rio (Jardim Botanico) Ideal for hangouts, birthday dinners, and more Washroom doors are equipped with motion sensors, so don't touch anything. By the way, in the washrooms, you find mouthwash and floss you can dispense for free, all part of their excellent service.

Great view of the race course. The traditional Brazilian buffet lunch had a good amount of choice, and a huge pudding selection.

The view and ambiance is phenomenal but the food is not at this same level. All in all it was a good expirience.

My boyfriend decided to surprise me while I was in Rio performing at Carnaval for Valentine’s Day and took me to this amazing place. First off it’s beautiful inside with a view of the entire wine selection. We wanted to sit outside and be closer to the Jockey Club horse racing track and glad we did. It was so romantic and awesome to see the horses run by. While here we ordered caipirinhas, Fish Ceviche, Pork Ribs, Shrimp Fideua, Baby Lamb, and dessert platter. The drinks, ceviche and pork ribs (with their bbq sauce I asked for) was good. Lamb and dessert were ok and shrimp was good but I didn’t like the rice or whatever it was so much. It reminded me of rice-a-roni lol. But if you’re in Rio I recommend this place. In Los Angeles I’ve never been anywhere like it so it was pretty cool. Also we had views of Christ The Redeemer which was awesome! Service was good and so was the food. We had a great time.

Excellent place with outstanding meat. We had a tomahawk style steak that was fab. Highly recommended (from an authentic Italian
