Setup, owned and run by the legendary Goncalves brothers, Victor and Naldo, NV-80 is the connection to years of dedication to industry and craft.

Serving beautiful steaks, seafood, salads and a wide array of starters, sides and specials, NV-80 has something for everyone.

    Food was simply sensational! But prices are touristy - careful not to chase away locals!

    Three of us had to draw straws for the last portion of ribs left, the other two opted to try the chimichurri steak which we found very average compared to the ribs and other dishes on the table, needed a bit of salt. Everything else was fantastic!

    NV-80 Grill and Bar responded on Sun 16 Nov 25:
    Hi Ashraf, thank you for your review. We’re sorry to hear that the steak did not fully meet your expectations. We will share your feedback with our chef to review and act upon accordingly. We’re, however, glad that you enjoyed your overall dining experience. It was a pleasure serving you, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon.
