Have eaten here twice. 4 or 5 main course options are clearly labeled as gluten free. The staff know enough to understand that food from the frier, though marked GF on the menu are not safe for Celiac

Found using the app and it did not disappoint. GF initials on the menu next to things that were Gluten Free. Staff were great, food great. For Rio it’s on the expansive side, but for the two of us, starter, 2 mains, 2 waters and a drink was £50 which would have been about £75 at home for what we had. But really good food, atmosphere and staff

I ate here 3 times during my stay in Rio and never had any issues. It was one of the places I could rely on to have a safe meal. The food was delicious and there are a good amount of gluten free options on the menu which are clearly marked. Would highly recommend to other celiacs.

Charming restaurant with great service! They told me that they cannot rule out cross-contamination, but do their best to avoid it. I had a great brazilian dish with bamboo shoots, plantains and rice. And the tapioca ice cream was delicious!

We dined here twice because they have a good variety of GF food. The flavors al typical and the ingredients are fresh. You have to tell them to be careful about gluten from the start, because they will cook your items in separate oil or omit some of the toppings. The GF tapioca ice cream is also really good.

This place was AMAZING. Our server was very pleasant, accommodating and aware of celiac and the importance of avoiding cross contamination. We had the Carne Seca and a salmon dish (see photos). They have a dedicated gluten free fryer and had these little potatoes we soooo good and crispy I havd to triple check to make sure they didn’t have any gluten. 😂 The area and ambience was very nice too. We are from the US and we rented a car-There is parking on site which is much appreciated in Rio.

Gluten-free marked at menu, not 100% correct, but I asked and I had a good feeling. I don’t have a lot of symptoms so I cannot say anything about a possible contamination.
