Boteco Ipanema

We went for dinner with friends but when we arrived we were surprised to find that it was carnaval night; which meant that after dinner the restaraunt turned into a dancing party event. It was a blast to experience. But first, the food was delicious. I've had Brazilian food before but this was really good. We ordered a bunch of different appetizers for the table instead of meals. This way we got to experience a little of everything. Only one of us ordered a whole meal which was the paella and according to him it was delicious and very savory and perfect meal size. We ordered a bunch of different drinks: caipirinha, passionfruit caipirinha, beers, and so on... the passionfruit caipirinha was amazing! My favorite was their picanha sliders and their pork belly. . The bork belly was so nice and crisp- perfection. Give it a try. The kitchen does close at a certain time and they do come around and advise ahead of time so you can place your last orders if you choose. Afterwards, they removed all of our tables and chairs, the music comes on and everyone just starts dancing. It was lovely to watch this culture love their culture the way they do. We had an amazing evening. Everyone speaks English perfectly. Everyone was super pleasant, our waiters/waitress were always around. We couldn't of asked for a better night. Thank you (Thru also have GF, vegetarian options and some of their meals do include cheese but I altered my own meals to be DF)

The food and atmosphere are really nice. The service is sensational, but the prices... I found them to be out of the ordinary..

We celebrated Father’s Day at this restaurant, it wasn’t crowded so we were seated quickly. Our server came to the table as soon as we sat and we were able to order right away. The caipirinhas were delicious and refreshing, and the food was just wonderful, pretty large portions and good quality meats. Stick to the beef, you won’t regret it. I think they have live music once in a while, I would call just to check. Overall we had a nice Sunday dinner at this restaurant and would definitely recommend it.

Food must be good, service is ass. I had to wait over 30 minutes for a well done steak. They had a “fix menu” and had to order off that but everyone around us got to order off of that.

Excellent food, truly such a hidden gem. Any bad review really must be extremely old or just out of spite. Trust me this is well priced especially at lunch time! Come in and thank me later..

Boteco Ipanema offers more than just a meal; it’s a journey into the heart of Brazilian hospitality. From the moment I stepped in, the staff’s friendly smiles and warm energy made me feel like I’d stumbled upon a hidden gem. I started with sangria, each sip a refreshing burst of fruity bliss, the perfect prelude to what came next. The grilled salmon? Simply exquisite—flaky, tender, and bursting with rich, smoky flavor. It was a dish that turned a great evening into an unforgettable one. Paired with the lively ambiance, I found myself already planning my next visit before the night was even over. If you’re looking for a vibrant, flavorful escape, Boteco Ipanema delivers in every way.

Amazing birthday dinner celebration! We had picana and so many other meals that were super delicious. Deserts are also light and tasty. We are definitely coming back here again and I highly recommend to give them a try!
