Welcome to Pescados na Brasa - Sabor do Pará, a hidden gem nestled in the vibrant neighborhood of Riachuelo, Rio de Janeiro. This charming restaurant, located at R. Vitor Meireles, 92, offers an authentic taste of northern Brazilian cuisine infused with the rich culinary tradition of Pará, a state famous for its fresh ingredients from the Amazon rainforest.

Owners are often seen mingling with guests, sharing stories about their roots and the inspiration behind each dish, which adds a personal touch that enhances your dining experience.

At the heart of Pescados na Brasa is a commitment to serving up delicious, authentic dishes.

One cannot miss trying the piráucu, a native fish known for its delightful flavor and tender texture, often served alongside a rich pirão—though some patrons have noted inconsistencies in preparation.
While many rave about the exotic flavors and fresh ingredients that transport them straight to the Amazon, it's essential to note that, like any bustling eatery, the service can sometimes be hit or miss.

“ This place is a fantastic surprise. Excellent northern Brazilian food, drinks and great staff. Exotic food! ”
“ Charming, good food, interesting history but chaotic service, huge delays on the request, inconsistent quality. Try during the week or Saturdays. Better or perhaps only accessible by car, public transport in Rio is really bad. Avoid Sundays but there is a Carimbó show with music and dance on Sundays and you may want to see it but try pasteis and other nibbles. Avoid main dishes. This charming restaurant has a beautiful history, grew out from the grassroots of Paraense migrants living in Riachuelo. From a garage to a small restaurant, now Pescados tries to cater for huge masses beyond its capacity. It is at the heart of Suburbia of Rio, it offers authentic food and flavours from Pará (an Amazonian state) with a vast range of typical food, juices, fish & spices. Unfortunately service was very poor. Waiters were very gentle but lost, it is clear the restaurant tries to sell out of its capacity. This greed affects on the quality of the food and experience in the restaurant. The cupuaçu juice was average, beer came warm & I had to wait for almost 1hour for my main order - only after a serious complaint ! and the dish came with cold rice and an awful cold pirão but at least ! rice was tasty with a delicious nortern native fish pirarucu. Prices were levelled with touristic copacabana or Flamengo which are premium prices areas but mostly have better customer service. Even a menu, chilli, glasses, spoon...all coming with great delay or simply not coming all ! Having said it all curiously many customers accustomed to the house system seem to not mind. ”
