Marius Crustáceos

Frommer's Review

If the all-you-can-eat rodízio system works for meat, the successful owner of Marius restaurants asked himself one day, why wouldn't it work for seafood? And thus was born Marius Crustáceos. A friend of ours refers to it as the "fish heaven" . . . for us that is, not the fishies. The menu includes anything and everything from the sea, from the antipasto buffet with cold seafood such as prawns, oysters, and crab, as well as warm seafood favorites such as paella, pasta with seafood, and popular dishes from Bahia including moqueca and vatapá. And then there is the prime catch the waiters will bring to your table: lobster, prawns, tuna steaks, salmon, or crab. It's all quite delicious, but unfortunately the formula was so successful that Marius got greedy and jacked up the prices to R$114 (US$48) per person, excluding service charges and desserts. We find it a tad overpriced for what it is so if you go, make the most of your visit: go hungry, don't eat bread or any other useless nibbles, linger, and don't be shy to ask for your favorite seafood.
