Ipanema Restaurant

The Best Brazilian food in CT! I'm glad you guys moved from NYC to Norwalk!

Hopefully this review gets the place to 5 stars. Greatest investment of my life!

I adore this place very much. It has a great spirit. The cuisine is wonderful. the service is powerful and the crew is professional. The price is honest. very much recommend.

Very friendly staff, warm atmosphere. They propose a lot of traditional dishes from Brasil, and the main focus is meat. Rightly so, I should add, since both the quality and the quantity are top notch. Good choice of drinks, honest prices, especially given their location. It can get crowded, and the only real downside of this place is exactly this: being rather small, and with a low ceiling, when it's full it becomes way too loud. Other than that, I'm very happy with my experience here.

Have visited this restaurant a few times throughout the past twenty years. This is my first since they relocated a few doors down. We were excited to return and it did not disappoint. First off, I suggest a reservation as they're always busy. Our server was friendly and prompt. The food was tasty, although my daughter's steak was slightly over cooked. My steak was a bit chewy, but it was a flank steak. Probably won't order that piece of meat again. The paella was as delicious as ever. Wish they didn't get rid of the yucca fries and the potatoes balls they used to serve. Where did the traditional Brazilian cheese bread go? They have a delicious Brazilian soda, which is a citrusy ginger ale type drink. It is refreshing and not overly sweet. In our opinion, this restaurant was fair price for a place in the city. Our total for three entrees was $120.
