Food For Thought

It will be no surprise to learn that the restaurant section of the original Insider’s Guide to Rio de Janeiro has been one of the most talked about since the book was first published back in 1984.

That was a time before any of us knew about the internet and web sites. Today most restaurants and bars – and that includes in Rio – have their own web sites, Facebook or Instagram pages – the latter being very popular – where you can find not only the up to date opening times and contact numbers, but often the menu. They also include photos, and a photo can still be worth a thousand words when you are deciding if it is the restaurant or bar for you. If they don’t have a page, just Google them and some photos will certainly pop up.

Given how restaurants go in and out of fashion in Rio, and there are around 10,000 in Rio, we have decided to give you a selection of nearly 250 or so of the best, most interesting and fun restaurants in Rio. Chances are you will pick some because they are convenient to where you are staying, while for some you may want to make the effort to cross town to try something really special, or perhaps it will simply be en route to where you are heading.

We would like to emphasize that the “type” of restaurant is to be treated lightly. Just about any restaurant in Rio can be classed as “international” because all are willing to turn their hand to most dishes, just as long as they have the ingredients in the kitchen. Most will, however, have a subtle Brazilian touch.

In Brazil a menu can be treated as a list of suggestions. Few of the top restaurants are going to list “Steak and Fries”, but if that is what you want, just ask. And don’t be afraid to ask, even it is just to make a few small changes to a given dish.

Tips On Eating Out

Eating out is very often the main focus of the evening in Rio. The city offers a diversity of culinary flavours and influences including a wide variety of regional Brazilian styles, most notably those of Bahia and Minas Gerais.

There is also a clear influence in the cuisine from Brazil’s earliest settlers, the Portuguese. Other immigrants have also left their mark including the French, Spanish and Dutch, and more recently the Italians, Germans and Japanese. The slaves shipped to Brazil from West Africa also had a major impact, especially on the cuisine of the northeast.

Restaurants vary from simple stand up corner bars (often known as “pé sujo“or “dirty feet”), to the most sophisticated luxury. At all price ranges, it is difficult to eat badly in Rio or Brazil.

Cariocas do eat late in the evening, although they have been eating earlier since the pandemic, but if you go out much before 7 pm you can expect to eat alone unless you meet a Brazilian who is finishing lunch!

In Rio you can eat and drink at almost any time of the day or night. Unlike some countries there are no legal restrictions and supply and demand make the rules. Many restaurants in Rio take last orders well past midnight and in some cases, and especially at the weekend, until 2 am or later.

And please, we beg of you, do go out and experiment. Don’t get stuck in a rut and continuously return again and again to the same old haunts. There is no point telling you that Rio has many world class or fun restaurants if you are only going to the visit the one next to your hotel and be satisfied with that.

The Best in Town

Exactly which are the best restaurants in Rio is very subjective and in the end down to a question of personal taste. To give you a bit of direction at the top end, you might like to reflect what the critics have chosen.

Rio currently has six restaurants with a Michelin star: Lasai, ORO and Oteque (with two stars) and Cipriani, Mee and San Omakase (with one star). Gaining a special mention for quality, good value cooking in the 2024 Michelin Guide are Artigiano, Brota, Didier, Maria e o Boi, Miam Miam, Lilia, Pici Trattoria, and Sult.

Lasai, Oteque, and Oseille were ranked in a list of Latin America’s 100 Best Restaurants for 2025-26 at 13th, 38th, and 65th respectively.

The news magazine, Veja, also publishes an annual list of the best restaurants and bars in Rio de Janeiro. For 2025-26 the selection includes a top three of:

Asian: Elena, Mee, Mr. Lam; Contemporary: Lasai, Oteque, Oseille; Feijoada: Academia da Cachaça, Rubaiyat, Aconchego Carioca; French: Casa 201, Chez Claude Francese Brasserie; Gastrobar: Balcão 201, Nosso, Eleninha; Hamburger: Bal.
