Bistro Mes Amis - Rio de Janeiro - RJ

I went there to celebrate my wedding anniversary. Very cozy and pleasant place. Delicious food, little variety but worth it. The piano is a delight in itself. I can't believe there's a place like that in the middle of the north zone

Wonderful place. I went on Valentine's Day, and let's face it, it's not the best date to review restaurants. All full, right? But the line moved fast, we were well attended. It's a shame to have already finished part of the options served in the Special Valentine's Menu. Our main course choices were Gnocchi stuffed with cheese in shrimp sauce and Medallion Piedmontese with chips. Both were delicious. Ah... Strawberry Caipivodka rocked! The high point was in charge of the Piano. The pianist played very eclectic music and at the end of the night there was even a samba on the piano. Three chic!

I have frequented the place since its early days. I visualized an exponential decline in quality. On my last visit, a series of points made me understand that I never intend to return to the establishment. 1. Refusal to show the bottle of wine used in the glass service: for my taste I know that it is a wine at the level of Pergola or Galioto, whose bottle does not cost more than 27 R$, while the house charges a price of 18, 90 per cup. Both the price and the refusal to show the bottle configure, in my view, an abusive practice. It makes me very strange to see a house that claims to cherish refinement and not dare to show the quality of its products to the customer. In addition, it is common practice, and expected, to know what you are buying and houses usually show without problems the bottle that is being served. Big disappointment. 2. The dishes on which the shrimp pastries were served came covered with a fast food themed paper, with hamburger and french fries designs, making the whole proposal of false refinement of the establishment go out the window. Also, when I removed the package, I was faced with a dish full of dirt and stains. 3. I was very well attended by the establishment's attendants. However, when I arrived at the venue, in what should have been a comfortable night, I found the restaurant wide open, with no air conditioning on, with a lock at the bottom of the door that I had to jump to access the restaurant. Furthermore, the employees were not on standby. In addition, I didn't arrive when the establishment had just opened, however, I was so amazed that I asked "are you open?" when entering. Well, it didn't look like the place was in operation, such the abandonment when I received it at the place. 4. The menu is currently very reduced. The classic crepes, the delicious shrimp crostine, the old tiramisu, the wonderful agnolote... all these wonderful options gave way to dishes of average execution in terms of the balance of flavors and seasonings. At least the meat and fish point is well executed, however, the harmonization of flavors, colors and textures does not go well. But what is most shocking is the cost-benefit ratio. Because, currently, the dishes are not worth the price they are being charged given their average execution. 5. The menu is old, torn, greasy, dirty. Hands get dirty when touching it. An indication of the hygiene, care and zeal of the house. 6. I never had any problems with the owner of the establishment. He even treated my family and my guests very well when I closed the restaurant some time ago for my birthday. He was cordial, polite, and we even welcomed him as a guest at one of the tables. A great shame that so much has changed and the place has become so disqualified. In short, I believe the restaurant had its glory, so much so that I already celebrated my birthday in the house. But nowadays it has deteriorated too much in quality to the point that I no longer believe the visit is worth it. Everything is a fairytale castle, where there is a promise of beauty and refinement, but that is just a big smokescreen for a simple kitchen, with average execution and abusive pricing practices. I don't recommend going. Time and money will be spent that would be better spent anywhere else.

Wonderful bistro for a romantic dinner, very good service and delicious food. The day we went there was live music. They decorated the table.

A friend celebrated her birthday there on 02/18 and we had to return about 5 dishes, the food was raw and/or salty. When paying it was a mess because we didn't want to pay the 10%. The super arrogant owner, arguing. When we got out and stood outside waiting for uber, he slammed the door and turned off the light outside. Look at the photo of the steak and the owner still saying that we didn't want to pay. The atmosphere is nice, but the service is terrible!

Very romantic atmosphere, for couples. However, it only has individual dish options. Delicious meal, but a little pricey. Sometimes, there is a presentation by a pianist, making the atmosphere more pleasant. I recommend going for two. ?
