Frommer's Review

Dadá has made quite a name for herself. Brazilians and foreigners come from far and wide to taste her food, journalists write articles about her, and gourmet magazines rave about her cozy restaurant. And after coming here year after year we were a bit disappointed this last time. Nothing is wrong with the food, thankfully. However, the restaurant was looking a bit run-down and service was inattentive. The ambience was more cafeteria than cozy restaurant and the portions were not what they used to be. Considering the prices she charges -- typically 25% more than other restaurants -- we were disappointed. It could just be that she has been too busy expanding her food empire, opening new restaurants, and writing books. However, the lack of attention shows and that's a shame.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
