Is the live music every night?

Based on the listing, live music is part of the experience, though frequency may vary. Confirm availability when booking, especially if you're visiting mid-week.

What if I don't drink alcohol or want a different cocktail?

The caipirinha is included; if you prefer a non-alcoholic option, contact the restaurant ahead of time to arrange an alternative welcome drink.

How long does the entire experience take?

The experience is approximately 2 hours, which includes the full meal and live music. This allows for a leisurely pace typical of Brazilian dining culture.

Is the restaurant accessible for guests with mobility concerns?

The venue is housed in a colonial mansion. Confirm accessibility details directly with the restaurant, as historic buildings often have steps and narrow passages.

our guide Aiko was nice enough, but a stop the guide added on the fly felt a bit rushed honestly, and would only really suit you if youre not fussy, 6 stops in about 3 hours.

our guide Noa couldnt do enough for us and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight, and honestly better than the tour we did in Paris last year.
