“The best feijoada I've had in Rio! Eating this award-winning dish while looking at Sugarloaf Mountain is a surreal experience. 10/10 service.”
“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.”
“A must-stop at Urca Hill. The caipirinha with Magnífica cachaça is wonderful and the freshly fried pastries saved our late afternoon. Super pleasant atmosphere.”
Embaixada Carioca offers the unique experience of having lunch, breakfast, or enjoying the sunset facing Sugarloaf Mountain.
Unlike sea-level restaurants that see the cable car in the background, here you are face to face with it. Choose your perfect moment to visit.
Many restaurants in Rio de Janeiro offer sea views or side views of postcards. Embaixada Carioca is the only restaurant located inside the Sugarloaf Cable Car Park, on Urca Hill.
This means our tables are positioned facing Sugarloaf Mountain, at 227 meters of altitude, providing an exclusive and unforgettable angle of Guanabara Bay.
