    I agree that the ambience is outstanding, you feel inside a cuisine tv show! The service is quite good too. The food was very good, not excellent as I expect from these kind of places were the expectations are super high, always. The bluefin tuna, the best!! Estoy de acuerdo en que el ambiente es excepcional, te sientes dentro de un programa de televisión de cocina. El servicio también es bastante bueno. La comida era muy buena, no excelente como espero de este tipo de lugares donde las expectativas son súper altas, siempre. El atún rojo, el mejor!!

    My favorite - fresh oyster.

    My wife and I came here looking for a fine dining culinary adventure. We were not disappointed. The eight course pre-set meal was full of new, and delicious, tastes. The stunning way the dishes were plated made the experience as much a pleasure for the eye as for the mouth. Our favorites included the bluefin tuna and the oyster. But each plate was original with complex flavors. Not sure what kind of sorcery takes so few ingredients and produces such surprising layers of flavors. But what do I know about cooking? Not much! I just like to eat! We had a little bit of trouble finding the place, as the restaurant is pretty camouflaged in a residential neighborhood. In other words, it looks like a house! We got there a few minutes before the restaurant opened, and they hadn't even hung the discreet "Oteque" sign on the outside of the building.

    Although Alberto Landgraf made a name for himself at Epice in São Paulo, it is inside the gorgeous confines of Oteque in Rio de Janeiro that the Chef can now be found cooking a multi-course tasting menu that focuses on local catch presented in unique ways that are often aggressive and uncompromising. Considered by many to now be Rio's best Restaurant, the kitchen inside Rua Conde de Irajá 581 fusing with its dining room such that the brigade's every move can be witnessed, guests may elect to sit at individual tables or the Chef's counter from 19h30 till midnight Tuesday through Saturday, every detail including quiet classic radio curated by Landgraf and his staff to ensure an world-class experience. Not restricted to Brazilian ingredients, but paying homage to the Ocean's bounty by way of technique and sustainable sourcing, it is with Cocktails named after Rock tunes that many guests begin, "Otherside" putting Brazil's favorite Alcohol in the context of Fruit and Bitters that paired well with an opening volley of Ceviche bathed in Seaweed Vinaigrette. Treated to piping-hot Bread and good Butter, two Loaves finished over the course of 135-minutes, course two consisted of a large Oyster from Oteque's live-tank finished with Apples and Herbs, its follow-up a beautiful piece of Tuna that suffered a bit from too-much knife work but still shined thanks to housemade Mayo and a line of Caviar. Undoubtedly a refined operation, staff working their stations in silence and every plate finished by Chef Alberto, course four brought cured Pork together with creamy and coarse Manioc beneath complimentary Truffle shavings, a dish of Uni with Corn, Coffee and Mullet Roe nearly as impressive in its ability to blend bold and discrepant flavors. Layering flavors with an adept hand, salty Porridge sweetened by Shrimp and a touch of Pepper arriving next, it was in the form of sliced Mackerel sandwiching Goose Liver that an off-menu surprise was offered, though considering the manner in which it set-up Snapper in Clam Stock with creamy Coconut Milk one can only assume the "gift" was planned all along. Currently holding one Michelin Star, but in every way a candidate for more in future guides, savories concluded with Duck dressed in seasonal Vegetables, the Desserts fairly conservative but nevertheless enjoyable as housemade Sorbet and Ice Cream each found themselves complimented by textural elements.

    The mashed potatoes or like silk béarnaise sauce was excellent and the meat was so tender

    This restaurant has really become one of my favorite places to dine at while traveling to Rio. We…read moregot the feijoada and it was incredibly good. If you like a little spice with some of your food, be sure to discard the tobasco sauce and ask for the molho pimenta especial. Be sparing with how much you use, it can get pretty ridiculous. The service was great and the staff was friendly. I don't think they speak much English, descriptive hand gestures and menu props are welcome and likely offensive. I'm stopping here again before I leave. Our meal for two came out to around R$100 for four drinks and feijoada to share. Portion sizes are large.

    We have come here multiple times for happy hours and now with the World Cup to sit back, relax and…read morecheer on the games with their 3 TVs. Its not that big of a space, but the open air concept, makes the space feel larger. We've gone in groups of 6-8 and people have enjoyed their beer, caipirinhas, and juices. For food we tend to split a Churrasco Misto: which comes on a hot plate cuts of beef, chicken and sausages. Rice and traditional farofa comes along with this dish. the only thing missing from it are Fries, but we always put in a separate order. Besides the Churrasco Misto, there are other versions of the Hot plate dishes: Only picanha, a Chorizo plate, and a seafood plate (which offers shrimp, octopus and squid and mussels). They also have other individual dishes and traditional brazilian bar food. For dessert we have had their Doce de Leite Pasteis which are great to share. Their Petit Gateau was ok, simple, nothing amazing. But if you are interested for something sweet to end the day they work too.
