What customers say?

“ Sensational bar! Authentic German food. Best sauerkraut I've ever tasted, without a doubt. They ferment it for 15 days. I highly recommend their croquettes, and Luiza's specials, which are very generous portions featuring various house specialties. We ordered the "completo," which came with pork knuckle, steak, sausages, sauerkraut, and mayonnaise salad. In addition, the draft beer is ice cold, and the waiters' friendliness is exceptional. We were very well received by Mr. Valdomiro, who was super helpful and didn't let any glass go empty. ”

“ An unpretentious place with excellent German cuisine. The menu is varied and high-quality; the owners have extensive experience and have brought that to the restaurant. The service is friendly and helpful; it's worth a visit! ”

“ We went on a hot Saturday, and one of the fans was off. The bar, like any old-school bar, doesn't have air conditioning. The menu could use an update. ”

- Ricardo de M Gonçalves -

“ I was at the bar in early January, on a Saturday around 6 pm. The first beer was warm, the second one too... and I immediately noticed the disorganization, but since they had only been operating for a short time, I gave them the benefit of the doubt. For someone who left Luiz's after so many years, it should be much better, in fact, much better. I'm not even talking about the size of the place, I'm talking about the service and organization, that's everything. The fact that they're working with family members doesn't mean it should be disorganized; on the contrary, I suggest regular meetings with everyone to train them on new strategies. ”

“ Founded by employees of the defunct Bar Luiz, on Rua da Carioca, in downtown Rio de Janeiro, it continued the tradition of excellent German cuisine. Prices are high compared to those in the Tijuca area. ”

- Helio Moura -

“ Good lunch and snack options. Excellent service. Draft beer and bottled beer (600ml) are always ice cold. The prices are a bit steep. ”

- Thiago Palmeira -

“ It's a spinoff of Bar Luiz, with the same menu, former employees, and dark draft beer, more authentic than the original. Good food and service. Right outside the São Francisco Xavier metro station. Small, about 25 seats. ”

- Eliezer Poubel Magliano -

“ Very good, great food, generous portions! Totally worth it! ”
