Luxuria City Review

Our in-depth review is coming soon. Stay tuned for a firsthand look at this venue.

Nestled in the bohemian charm of Santa Teresa, Rio de Janeiro, Explorer Bar invites discerning travelers on a global culinary journey within a captivating 1920s turquoise Victorian mansion. This former artist's studio and church now offers a sophisticated yet relaxed ambiance, boasting enchanting verandas and al fresco decks tucked beneath a canopy of trees, providing a picturesque setting for sunset views over the city's rooftops.

The concept, born from the passion of three foreign enthusiasts for Rio's vibrant culture and diverse flavors, emphasizes an 'affordable luxury' experience. Guests can indulge in a meticulously crafted menu of international cuisine, inspired by culinary traditions from Brazil and around the world, alongside original and artful cocktails. The vibrant atmosphere, fueled by a blend of locals and international visitors, live music, and DJ sets, promises an engaging and memorable evening where every bite and sip is a discovery.

This reviewer found the service and environment impeccable, and while the main dishes could be improved, the appetizers (croquettes and fish salad) were perfect. The homemade soda was not recommended, but overall it was considered well worth the price.
