Copacabana

Niagara Falls, Ontario 

Completed in 2022, this ambitious project involved a comprehensive renovation and strategic addition to the iconic Copacabana Brazilian Steakhouse in Niagara Falls. Collaborating closely with FFD, a renowned interior design firm from Miami, Florida, the team at RAAI reimagined the space to create an elevated dining experience. The project integrates contemporary design with the vibrant energy of the surrounding Niagara Falls Tourist District.

Key highlights include a dramatic transformation of the interior, featuring bold and sophisticated aesthetics that pay homage to Brazilian culture while embracing modern design trends. The renovation optimizes flow and functionality within the restaurant, enhancing the overall guest experience. The stone selected for the exterior mirrors the iconic Ipanema sidewalk from Copacabana Beach. Additionally, the newly introduced rooftop patio and bar offer a dynamic new venue for visitors. With breathtaking views of the cityscape, this addition encourages vibrant public interaction, making it a must-visit destination for locals and tourists alike.

The design not only revitalizes the restaurant’s presence but also solidifies its role as a landmark in the bustling heart of Niagara Falls, seamlessly blending culinary excellence with architectural innovation.
