Oteque, Rio de Janeiro
culinary journey where every ingredient takes centre stage. The mastermind behind Oteque is chef Alberto Landgraf, whose Japanese and German heritage weaves into his innovative dishes.
With techniques honed in Japan and London, he crafts a minimalist menu where simplicity marries sophistication.
Landgraf's approach to cooking revolves around texture, acidity and temperature. The tasting menu offers three delectable options: omnivore, vegetarian and vegan.
Standout dishes include pickled sardine paired with raw foie gras and brioche, a luscious-steamed oyster with pork broth, and a dessert of raw Brazil nut ice cream. Or dive into the grilled octopus with tomatoes, savour the duck breast with pumpkin or foie gras boudin, and cap it off with pineapple sorbet drizzled with Jatai honey for a sweet finale.
With its exceptional service, inventive cuisine and stellar wine list, Oteque is more than just a meal — it's an experience.
