Lonely Planet review for Carretão

It’s all about the meat at this inexpensive churrascaria. There is another branch in Ipanema, at Rua Visconde de Pirajá 112.

    It's only one of the churrascarias, check Porcão is better.

    marcos_rosauro recommends this,

    The only thing is it is not in Leme, the Carretão you mean is in Lido, a small square in Copacabana. In Leme (where I live) we have one of the best churrascarias in the city, Marius (but the price is not so good - something arround 120 reais).

    Good for: eat until die!

    Not good for: not hungry enough

    Excellent

    hannamaria recommends this,

    We went to the Carretao branch in Copacabana. Service was excellent, wine was good and the meat cuts were the best we have ever had. You will not have room for dessert but when they show you their dessert selection you just must have some.
    Highly recommended.

    loved it - a must for meat lovers

    anastassia_neto recommends this,

    Our first visit was to Ipanema rodizio, and we loved it. Went several times to rodizio in Portugal, but one has to go to Brazil to get the atmosphere as well. Second visit was to Carretao in Leme and we love it even more than in Ipanema, as this one is smaller, therefore they serve faster and once you say that you actually don't want any chicken etc, but just the best of it - picanha, maminha and cupinho, it just keeps on coming and coming. Washed down by an excelent caipirinha - what else can a true meat lover wish? For us - this was true Brazil, even more than feijoada. We loved this rodizio!! We went after to one more churrascaria in Copacabana, but honestly after Carretao others were a disappointment. Better pay a bit more, but you get the best meat!
