Restaurante Outback Steakhouse, International steakhouse in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Restaurante Outback Steakhouse is an American steakhouse chain located in Rio de Janeiro, serving grilled meats, chicken, and seafood. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating and is part of a worldwide network of locations.
The chain was founded in 1988 in Tampa, Florida, and grew steadily across multiple countries in the years that followed. Brazil was among the early international markets where it opened locations, including in Rio de Janeiro.
The Outback Steakhouse is decorated with Australian motifs, even though the chain itself is American and has no direct connection to Australia. The wood tones and outback-themed details are immediately noticeable when you walk in.
The restaurant is easy to reach on foot or by car and sits in a busy part of Rio de Janeiro. Booking ahead is a good idea on weekend evenings, as the place tends to fill up quickly.
The chain's most recognized dish worldwide is the Bloomin' Onion, a whole onion cut to open like a flower, deep-fried, and served with a dipping sauce. It has been on the menu since the chain's early days and is often the first thing regular customers order.
