For a unique dining experience, Alex Atala, Brazil’s most internationally renowned chef, excites guests with every dish and demonstrates that, despite being involved in various projects, he always has something new to share. The tasting menu (there’s also a vegetarian option) is a journey across the flavours of the Amazon region, exploring river communities and almost-unknown ingredients (priprioca root, palmetto heart of palm, ants, açai, jambu, tucupi etc) sourced from small-scale local producers, as well as offering surprising textures and flavours that will delight the tastebuds – all of which are creatively prepared and based, occasionally, around European-inspired combinations. In this modern, elegant restaurant decorated with indigenous decorative objects, try dishes such as ant with pineapple and tucupi hollandaise, and “pirarucu with moqueca” (a traditional Amazonian fish soup). A place to open up your mind, so prepare yourself for surprises galore!
