“The perfect spot for sunset. We ordered the Brazilian Picanha (very generous portion) and ice-cold Heineken draft beer. The panoramic view is breathtaking.”
“Unforgettable breakfast! We took the first cable car up and went straight to Embaixada. Fresh bread, natural juice, and the most beautiful view of the city. Worth every penny.”
