How can you beat a quirky, romantic restaurant serving amazing and artistic fusion food in Ipanema on your honeymoon? That's right, it's not possible! It's not exactly cheap, but the food here is brilliant, and is such a romantic and special place it's perfect for couples wanting to celebrate any occasion. Get the entree tasting plate and the dessert tasting... more

I have been several times to Zaza and in all occasions i had remarkable food and great time. That's the place I always indicate to my friends if they want to eat well in a trendy and cool spot in Rio. The drinks are also great (last time I had Absolutely Zaza and loved it). I really love the Samosas,... more

I am a huge fan of Bistro Zaza. It is a fusion style restaurant mixing Brazilian, Thai and Peruvian trends. Its decoration deserves thumbs up and waiters are so so so nice.

Every time I return to Rio I come to this very nice corner at Ipanema..., only one block from the Beach! They always care for the atmosphere, the music is perfect and the food is always different.

This restuaurant has 3 choices of where to sit, outside, inside or upstairs on the floor (Morroccan style!). We sat upstairs and loved it. Excellent food, excellent service and the bill wasn't shocking either. They even spoke English which was a nice touch given our Portugese is terrible! more

This place is so intimate and romantic. Not to mention the food is fantastic. It was a rainy day in Rio and this was definitely the highlight of the day. It was warm and welcoming. more

The menu offers a blend of Brazilian, Middle Eastern and Indonesian fusion resulting in unique flavors and aromas. The chicken curry with oriental vegetables was wonderful. The décor is artistically done, candle light lit and reflects the fusion. The staff was delightful and attentive. more
