This Michelin-starred restaurant offers an intimate and exclusive experience with a limited number of seats. Chef Rafa Costa e Silva’s “farm-to-table” concept uses seasonal ingredients, many from his own garden, for a surprise tasting menu that delights all the senses. Oteque, nestled in Rio de Janeiro’s chic Botafogo district, is an elegant celebration of modern Brazilian cuisine led by chef Alberto Landgraf.
Housed in a meticulously restored 1930s mansion, the restaurant charms with its minimalist design, an open-plan kitchen, and a discreet entrance that gives way to an immersive dining setting—exposed brick walls, a chef’s table, and a live fish tank subtlety reinforcing the restaurant’s focus on freshness, technique, and refined simplicity.
