Oro
The gastronomical experience at Oro blends intimate, modern surroundings with contemporary Brazilian cuisine, earning it the title of the only two-star restaurant in Rio. It’s run as a partnership between chef Felipe Bronze and his wife Cecilia Aldaz, who work together to bring the essence of Rio to the food as well as the décor. The meal options change every 45 days, so the menu is constantly evolving and reinventing classic Brazilian dishes. One example is Bronze’s take on the traditional churrasco (Brazilian barbecue) using braised ox ribs with banana cassava flour and smoked yolk.
