"I loved this place. Many types of food, tasty and the caipirinha de cachaça de siriguela is amazing! Recommended!!"

"A wide selection of food in this self-service buffet restaurant that has a great selection of desserts. One receives a placard at the entrance that will be used to manage payments each time one goes to get food and weigh it.
The servers wear fun outfits (and are friendly), the dining room is clean, and there is plenty of food. I did find some of the meat to be on the dryer side, but otherwise, I had a great experience!"
James
"The food in this place is absolutely delicious!!!! They had lots of options including vegetarian. The desserts were mouth watering and the staff really nice and friendly. It was my mum's birthday so they brought this amazing desert with a candle. So delicious!"
