Zuka

Some of the best grilled meats and seafood around, Zuka is a sleek and modern restaurant we love in Leblon

Zuka is a restaurant for food-lovers along the lively Rua Dias Ferreira.  As one of the most popular restaurants in Rio, serving perfectly seared meats and seafood, Zuka has a big reputation, and it more than delivers.

The grilling happens from their large coal fire in the open kitchen; sit at the counter and watch as the chefs expertly prepare and grill complex and intricate dishes, like their perfectly seared Tuna Tartar, or grilled Octopus. The food here is a delight to taste; people come from all around to eat at Zuka, even when it’s jam-packed and nearby places have free tables. This place will be at full lunch and dinner.

So to avoid missing out it would be best to make a reservation by calling them at the number above. They’re very accommodating for English speakers, so don’t worry.

Price: ($$$ – R$$$)
Vibe:  Popular, modern and delicious seafood and meat grill!
