Reviews Summary

Restaurante Barba Azul offers a mixed dining experience with some patrons praising the exquisite sushi and beautiful presentation, while others note issues with service and reservation management. The live music and sunset views are often highlighted as positives, but the restaurant's strict two-service policy can lead to hurried meals and customer frustration. While some dishes like the filet mignon and creative cocktails receive rave reviews, others have found inconsistencies in sauce preparation and side dishes.

"There are many great restaurants in Buzios, but we loved this place so much that we had dinner at Barba Azul twice during our vacation. The live music is phenomenal! Food and service equally great. But the highlights for us was the Passion Fruit Caipirinha and the Filet Mignon with the amazing mushroom sauce, omg! Great selection of appetizers. Can’t wait to go back someday! Servers spoke very little english but it was enough to get our orders just fine.

One suggestion for the owners: add a nice salad and please have a menu in english ;)"

"Nice place to watch the sun go down. I had the picanha. A good size and perfectly cooked. The sautéed veg had too much potato in it and the mushroom sauce was too thin. Needs to be creamy and thick. Apart from that, they had a nice band playing."

Samantha Graney

"Cici took fantastic care of us and knew exactly what to recommend—ceviche and the Hayreddin Barbarossa cocktail! Great food, drink and even better host :)"
