Aprazível on Postcard

"Aprazível is built into a sloping garden in the charming bohemian neighborhood of Santa Teresa. The fare is contemporary Brazilian, with dishes like grilled heart of pupunha palm, as well as dressed-up comfort food, like pão de queijo stuffed with sausage and the fresh catch of the day served with coconut rice, turmeric, cashew nuts, and baked banana. A glass of starfruit, passionfruit, or ginger caipirinha makes the city lights glimmer below." - Rafael Tonon, Taylor Barnes

"Climb up an alley to the very top of Santa Teresa and you’ll stumble across this family-run restaurant surrounded by a lush tropical garden. The solid timber tables are set at various levels and all boast views of the neighbourhood itself and across to the city. The shady garden with its soothing birdsong provides a relaxing setting in which to sip one of the special cachaças and choose from a menu that offers a whole host of delicious dishes from right across Brazil." - Michelin Inspector

Nice place for a romantic dinner. Delicious heart of palm. Main courses were not bad, but we expected better food for this price. Service should also be more attentive, however the owner (lady) is a very nice and friendly person.

The most gorgeous views of the city / Santa Teresa. The restaurant has a gorgeous, multi-level dimension to it that is really unique. Cocktails for very tasty and the fish was the best meal I had while in Rio. The banana dessert is also a must! Would visit Brazil again just to dine here

Wonderful restaurant. Location and setting amazing and all of the food we had was incredible. Would definitely recommend. The tropical fish of the day (sea bass this time), tart tatin and banana dessert were all incredible.

Amazing quality food (service was slightly slow but that’s okay). You get into a lift and go down (see video). Visited it in May 2024. When you are sat, you get a view of all of Rio de Janeiro, which is truly magical. I tried the tropical fish with coconut rice which was super tasty. I definitely recommend. Also tried the burrata for a starter.

The place is amazing, the food is delicious and the view of the city from the restaurant is enchanting. The price is a little high, but it worth it! My only complaint is that the service fee that should be 10% of the bill was charged above this percentage.

What a cool place with delicious food 😍 The restaurant was sectionalized into a few dining areas with different elements but the entire place was offering such cool decor and was lovely to take a tour around property. It makes you feel like you are in the secluded upscale resort and the sunset view was absolutely gorgeous 😌 Apologies for no food photos but they were all divine and went very fast into our bellies. My favorite was Hearts of Palm. It was a shareable plate but I’d definitely get a whole thing to myself next time 🤤

The Caipirinha was yummy too
