Rio Restaurant Week Opens With More Than 50 Participating Restaurants

Overview

• The festival opened Friday, Nov. 6 and runs through Dec. 6 with over 50 Rio restaurants serving three-course set menus.
• Menus are grouped into four tiers—Tradicional, Plus, Premium and Diamond—with fixed lunch and dinner prices ranging from R$59.90 to R$149.
• The theme “Brasil de Norte a Sul” asks chefs to explore ingredients and recipes from Brazil’s five regions across the three-course menus.
• Notable participants include Cantina do Claude and Royal Grill in the Diamond bracket and Masserini and Sabores de Gabriela in Premium.
• Full menus and service days are posted at restaurantweek.com.br and organizers recommend reservations because some high-end offers run only on selected days; the festival is designed to drive diners to venues and highlight regional producers.
