About Rio Carnival BBQ
Rio Carnival BBQ brings a slice of Brazilian festa to Singapore’s riverside dining strip, serving up endless rounds of skewered meats, smoky picanha and bright accompaniments like chimichurri and farofa. The space mixes warm timber interiors with a covered terrace facing the Singapore River, ideal for groups celebrating birthdays, office parties or date nights after work in the CBD.
The typical crowd is a mix of after-work Clarke Quay revellers, families catching weekend lunch and tourists looking for a showy dining experience. Unlike Singapore hawker centre meals, this is a sit-down, chef-carved churrasco service with table-side knife work and a continuous parade of grilled cuts — great for group gatherings and special-occasion dinners. Locals often pair it with cocktails and share platters, making it a regular pick for weekend group dinners and lively weekday after-work drinks in Clarke Quay.
Practical for visitors, Rio Carnival BBQ is a short walk from Clarke Quay MRT and nearby malls, so it slots easily into an Orchard/Marina Bay–to–Riverside night out. Expect set pricing for the all-you-can-eat service, vegetarian sides and a friendly, celebratory samba vibe that feels distinct from typical Singaporean kopitiam or hawker experiences but remains rooted in local dining habits — think long table feasts, communal plates and an easygoing vibe suited to family dinners, date nights and birthday bookings.
