"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

Tasty food, nice ambiance, friendly staff. Big portions, good price-quality ratio. But to be honest I wouldn’t go deliberately to this restaurant from the city center but if you stay in the area this is a perfect option for you!

This feels like a tree house with multi levels, on top of a mountain with a nice view. We showed up with no reservation and we were still able to be seated. My advice is to make reservations and then ask to be seated on the bottom floor next to the balcony with unobstructed views. This is also Michelin rated restaurant, and the food did not disappoint at all. The waiters had minimal English but there is Google Translate you can use! This is a nice romantic date here with your significant other and it is appropriate to dress up.

It was the best discovery of Rio Gastronomy.This is a secret magic Garden in Santa Teresa, where you will have a WOW effect in every corner because it is simply beautifully decorated and it is big. Magic small coffee terraces, Amazing view at night time. And finally the food. WOW. The Amazon fish , palm salad and crab were so good that i had to close my eyes. The service was attentive and super professional. The Cherry on the cake? Anna, the owner of the place . A lovely woman with lovely energy, which makes you want to stay and speak to her! I can 100% recommend this restaurant. Do not miss this out!

Lovely restaurant but my dining experience was interupted by heavy rains as we choose the outdoor area. The food was good and the staff was very friendly even with limited English. There was an error on my bill and they apologized refunded and rectified it. I do think the dining experience is great with beautiful views of the city from Santa Teresa. Just watch the weather for rainy days.

Up on the slopes of Santa Teresa with fantastic views of the city below, this place scores just on that alone. The ambience and architecture of the restaurant evokes the feeling that it’s someone’s home and you’re being led to their dining room for a sumptuous treats. Prices are … commensurate with the experience.

Extraordinary cooking and top-notch service with wonderfully fresh ingredients in a magnificent hillside setting overlooking the city make this is standout restaurant no matter which country or continent may be your home! The menu options are limited but especially well prepared. The pork and sea bass mains were cooked to perfection. The pork, in particular, was slow cooked and especially tasty with a sweet and fruity reduction; not drowning the dish but a fine glaze. The ceviche for a starter had a finely cooked lovely combination of seafood. Dessert, alone, would be reason to take an adventurous taxi from downtown. The chocolate is homemade from Amazon cocoa; I’ve not tasted this level of quality in a restaurant before. (Edits to follow)

Before you even take your first bite of food, it's already clear that this is a very special place. GORGEOUS view looking over half of Rio, from a stunning rustic (but luxury) designed interior. Super professional staff who are happy to guide you through the crafted menu of fresh choices. The ceviche was incredible, the octopus special, only the squid disappointed slightly. The place is HUGE without feeling like it, there are lots of little nooks, and tree houses so it never feels crowded. Really a special spot.
