Every time I come to Rio, I go to La pulê, for five years now. Always good service, delicious food and desserts. Today we had Massa oceânica (lots of seafood, but the pasta was a little bit overcooked), Margret de canard (the duck was perfectly raw in the middle), peixe tropical (quite a large piece of fish with an amazing sauce). Hambúrguer Pulê was impressive!Also I love to order octopus. Always tender and tasty every time.
We went here for lunch. Food came out hot and fast. Great thin and crispy fries. Delicious drinks. Price point was good. We sat outside but the inside atmosphere seemed amazing.
An absolute gem of a place. Had the most delicious cheese and bacon omelette and a really fantastic iced latte. The service is great. The atmosphere is great. Love this place!PS — Went back for dinner and it was even better! Be warned: it gets very crowded.
My group of 5 came here for our last lunch on our trip. We were able to get a table immediately. Everything on the menu looked divine so we got a bit of everything.The piña colada is one of the best I’ve ever had. I got the tropical fish as my main. It was amazing but the star of the show was definitely the mussels. I want to bathe in the sauce they come with.The service was excellent and they were gracious when excusing our very broken Portuguese.Highly recommend this place!
I just had Sunday lunch at Le Pulê in Ipanema and was blown away by the experience. We had their roast chicken, which comes with perfectly seasoned potatoes and fresh vegetables. It was hands down the best roast I’ve had in a long time—flavourful, tender and amazingly delicious.The decor of the restaurant is equally impressive, blending elegant Art Deco touches with a modern twist that creates a warm, inviting space.The atmosphere was lively yet cozy, with a mix of trendy younger and older patrons, making it a great spot to unwind and enjoy a meal.If you’re looking for a memorable dining experience in Ipanema, Le Pulê is definitely worth a visit!
I recently dined at Le Pule and it was an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious, with flavors that were rich and perfectly balanced. Every dish we tried was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. I went with a group of friends, and we all had a fantastic time. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it the perfect spot for a fun and relaxed night. The service was also excellent, with staff who were friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great food and a wonderful time with friends!
Incredible service, meal and value. My friend and I popped in here on a whim and were met with friendly service & a chill atmosphere. I don’t speak Portuguese and used itranslate to review the menu and to our surprise the server helped us out in English. She was so kind.Our filet minion was perfection and my Negroni was tasty and hit the spot.Would recommend!
Charming restaurant with a fabulous menu. I adored the cuisine. I opted for carpaccio to start, my top choice. It was delightful and bursting with flavors. Once it's gone, you'll be tempted to order more. The fish moqueca, my main course, was also delightful. The addition of fried banana provided a distinct and outstanding taste. The portion was generous and a challenge to finish, but truly delightful. As for beverages, I settled for my usual, an espresso Martini, which was very satisfying. I highly recommend this establishment. I would revisit solely for the delectable dishes and the inviting ambiance. In terms of service, there is room for improvement as there was a delay in clearing my plates after I finished and the bill also took a while.
