A comida é gostosa. A variedade do buffet não é tão grande, mas isso é compreensível, pois o preço é barato. O ambiente é bom, apesar do ar-condicionado não conseguir compensar totalmente o calor extremo do verão carioca. Em suma, comida básica e boa por um preço bom. Vale a pena.

Comida caseira e saborosa. Não tem tanta variedade, mas é o suficiente tanto pra "jacar", quanto pra montar um prato equilibrado. Gosto muito da limonada com gengibre deles, e o pudim de leite eh fantástico! Ah, por último mas não menos importante: preço imbatível na região.

Dou 5 estrelas porque o Café Cultural é um local que você recebe pelo que paga. É um dos lugares mais baratos para se comer na região, então não espere luxo. Entretanto, a comida é honesta, os funcionários são simpáticos e ambiente é ok. Um bom lugar para comer para quem trabalha no Centro e quer economizar. Só não recomendo ir almoçar muito tarde para o buffet não ficar escasso de opções.
