Outback Steakhouse in Barra da Tijuca spans two levels with wooden furnishings and an open kitchen where chefs grill steaks and specialty dishes. The dining area provides good sightlines to the kitchen, letting guests watch food preparation while seated.
This location opened in 2001 as the Outback Steakhouse chain expanded internationally from its origin in Tampa, Florida. The arrival marked the brand's entry into South America and the beginning of its presence in Brazil.
