I first went with friends and thououghly enjoyed the experience. The owner is a charming host and the food is some of the best I have sampled on 5 continents. There are 2 restaurants - Carne and Marisco - meat and seafood. As a dedicated carnivore I normally go to Carne. My advice, sleep in, reserve a table at Marius, spend the day at the beach and ...

I would neva go to Marius ever again the service was slow it took us 20 mins to get served or drinks they were unhelpful and rude the food took 1 hour comming and then it was undercooked and tastless unless we were unlucky i wouldnt go there again!

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

Marius staff and management pay attention to the details, a sign of a well-run establishment. There are fresh rose petals on the tables and also in the (ladies) bathroom. The buffet has plenty for everyone, which means that some stuff may not appeal to you but it appears to be well prepared (i.e the traditional Brazilian bean dish). We ate at ...

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.

The only place we liked better was Mio, an incredible Italian restaurant in Ipenama (absolutely don't miss it), but this was Number One for Brazilian BBQ...all the meats brought to the table by the carvers were good, but the roasted pork, wild boar, and pork ribs stole the show.

We arrived ealy and were virtually the only ones there when we ...

loved the food
great caipirinhas
even good merchandising, if you want to take home dishes, or even shells.

quite expensive for brazilian standards.. but worth the money for an ocassional great dinner

For Brasilian standard it is quit expansive (30 euro) but at home (europe) you would pay triple. We went to the fish restaurant at Marius, wich is quit a busy but friendly place. You can not amazine how much fish you can eat at this place. Lobster, shrimps (big ones) Oysters, Krab etc......and as much as you like. The service is realy good.
Make a reservation!
Have fun and enjoy Martin

Very unique ambiance that is hard to describe. Ship Galley meets semi precious stone quarry. Ya that ought to confuse you. My wife had the meat lovers delight, I had the seafood.

Think super well prepared fare in salad bar format. Salad means oysters, sushi, olives, etc.

Then main course. Roving staff with cutting boards and knives ...
