"If you’re looking for Ceviche, this is a great spot on the beach. Tried the mix which has 4 (classic, salmon, Tahiti and oriental) and also the Thai ceviche. Best was the the Classico, and next was Thai."

"A true Leblon gem! I came here for brunch with a friend for the first time and loved that they offer seating both right on the sand and just off the beach. A perfect setup for a laid-back yet lively vibe. We couldn’t resist the white sangria pitcher, and it’s an absolute must. Refreshing, delicious, and dangerously easy to drink, we somehow ended up ordering a second by the end! The ceviche was fresh and flavorful, served with crispy chips that paired perfectly. Service was friendly and attentive throughout, making the whole experience even better. And the view? Simply unbeatable. Between the ocean breeze, beachside setting, and great food and drinks, it’s easily a 10/10 spot in Leblon."

"Great restaurant right at the sand. The food is very good but ask with little salt if you’re not used to salty food, normally they put a lot. This place offers Peruvian dishes perfect to eat in hot days. The best part is the location right at the beach, you can even sit with your feet in the sand and be without shirt and your swimming wear, just unique for those who love freedom and avoid etiquette. The service is ok, as everywhere in Brazil with the same problem you are eating and they are collecting things and empty dishes before the other person is finished but this is tolerable as it seems that’s how they work here (annoys me a big deal)."

"Delicious food, amazing service and relaxed atmosphere. I’ve eaten there twice now and will definitely be back. I had a tuna tartar and havian ceviche- both were excellent. Service is outstanding, I would like to thank Joãozinho who was great today. 5/5 stars!"

"A great kiosk for Spanish speakers, they offer more than 10 different ceviches alongside with many other foods. Their drinks are deliciously well prepared and you sit at a table on the beach. We paid R$ 426 for three meals with extras, and a couple of rounds of cocktails and beers. I highly recommend this place in iconic Ipanema."

"Que lugar maravilhoso! Could be the best ceviche in all of RJ! They have like 8-10 types of ceviche and lots of other stuff on the menu. Right on the beach close to the Morro dois Irmãos in Ipanema. We'll be regulars here soon. Didn't take a photo but the scallop (vieras) ceviche was also awesome. Also may have been the fastest food service of any kiosk in Ipanema!"
