Restaurante Via Farani

So many noms. Only had the Japanese food & it was delicious. Rodizio style, good quality, and well priced – R$ 85 for all you can eat.
They bring you 2 pieces of a checklist for your table & you check off what you want to order. Make sure to indicate how many pieces of each roll or dish you want.
I recommend almost any of the sushi/​sashimi, the yakisoba, and the dessert with the banana fritters & jce cream.
Good service and decent ambiance.

Melhor rodízio de comida japonesa do rio, muita variedade com qualidade, vale a pena cada centavo, pedir o siri e o bolinho de camarão e um dos hora, maravilhoso, ngm arrebenta tanto

Via Farani is an Italian and Japanese restaurant in Botafogo. You don’t see this combination often. For now, I can only say something about the Japanese food and it’s good. I can recommend the spring rolls and the soup as a starter. Furthermore, the sushi combination de Luxe for two is a good choice, i had better, but it is good and the price is very reasonable: around 85 reais for a 42 pieces combination of sushi, sashimi and Hot Philadelphia, which is definitely enough.
From the outside it doesn’t look like it, but Via Farani is quite big. You can easily go to Via Farani with a group of twenty people. The attendance is quick, so, even when the restaurant is full or you are there with a large group, you don’t have to wait a long time for your order to appear on your table. Finally, if you are seated at the right window, you have a nice view at the Corcovado with Christ the Redeemer on top, which makes the restaurant almost a touristic attraction.

This place is good and big and this means that you won’t wait for table. I love the tuna with teriyaki, and they have an Italian menu as well, besides the Japanese one.

Considero o Via Farani um restaurante japonês mediano. Fui uma única vez, e não me deu vontade de retornar (sou louca por comida japonesa, costumo ser um pouco exigente). Não que a comida seja ruim, mas já experimentei bem melhores, pelo mesmo preço (ou até menos).
Fui em um rodízio e achei bem incompleto. Pouquíssimas variedades, parecia que estava comendo a mesma coisa o tempo todo. O atendimento também não foi dos melhores. A qualidade da comida era boa, mas nada que precise destacar.
Como já faz um tempo, talvez um dia volte para ver se isso mudou. Ou para arriscar o a la carte e ver se a coisa melhora. Mas tendo opções, prefiro ir a outros restaurantes na cidade.
