Horrible seafood and an even worse price of $70 per person
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 08/09/06
Everything about Marius Crustaceos in the Leme neighboorhood of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) was tacky and over-priced. The all-you-could-eat seafood was not good and even worse than the food was the check when it arrived -- US $70 -- and this was the price just for 1 person.

Tourist Trap & Thieves
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 07/01/08
A cab driver convinced us to go here instead of Porcow, likely due to a kickback. This was the worst restaurant I've ever been to and grossly over priced. The food was mediocre at best, the seafood looked and smelled horribly stale. Largest bill I had the entire trip for such a disappointing trap.
And they had the decency to steal my ...

Avoid this place!
By bill m, 07/10/08
Three seafood meals, seven drinks - R$650 (about $400US). Based on other comparable places in Rio, about 3x what it ought to be. Ridiculous. Unfortunately, this rating system will not let me give Marius zero stars for overall experience or value. I'd give them a negative number if I could.

A tourist trap
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 01/03/06
If you like to eat cramped with bus tourists in a cramped room this is the place for you. It used to be good now it is only expensive.....

"Only for tourists"
By Ken, 05/07/08
The salad/hors d'oeuvres/sushi bar offered little variety.
The meat, nearly all roast beef, was gristly. (I spat most of it into napkins.)
On my flight back to the US, my seat-mate, a Carioca, responded to my description of my Marius meal by saying "It's only for tourists now. All the big hotels send them there."

By bella, 07/13/08
Lovely atmosphere - food great BUT we asked for our drinks bill - we had paid for food - we were then offered a brandy (the inference being it was complimentary), we asked again for the bill and found the Brandys were 26 per glass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Better go to Porcao
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 07/01/05
Overpriced and catering to tourists. More interesting decor, but the meat lets it down compared to other rodizios. Marius fish is better. If you want better food for the same price, go to Porcao...Ask your driver for Porcao Rios which has an excellent view of sugar Loaf
I'd save my money and have 2 meals at other Rodizios such as Carratao in Ipanema. The service and food is great but far too expensive. Marius Crusteceaus rodizo next door is even more expensive
