Oteque

"After gaining acclaim as one of the best chefs in São Paulo, Alberto Landgraf took his cooking to an even higher level at Oteque. His dedication to quality ingredients is clear in the fishtank in the kitchen, which provides easy access to the freshest seafood possible, and Landgraf’s meticulous tasting menus are always packed with creative dishes, precise techniques, layers of flavor, and exacting textures. The two-Michelin-starred restaurant also offers one of the best wine programs in the country, focused on natural and organic bottlings." - Rafael Tonon, Taylor Barnes

"The surprises here begin at the entrance, since nothing gives the impression that hidden behind its discreet front door is this temple of Rio gastronomy. The attractive dining room boasts high ceilings and an informal atmosphere with a modern-industrial feel. Extraordinary chef Alberto Landgraf transports guests to a world of highly precise culinary sensations based around his consistent use of the region’s very best fish and seafood. His delicate dishes showcase a skilful fusion of ingredients and flavours." - Michelin Inspector

"Already hailed as one of the best chefs in São Paulo, Alberto Landgraf moved to Rio two years ago and took his time deciding what, exactly, his restaurant here would look like. Finally we have the answer in the classy Oteque, where Landgraf takes his rigorous talent and his respect for ingredients to a higher level. (He went so far as to have an aquarium installed in his open kitchen to supply the freshest seafood possible.) Landgraf is a technical, perfectionist cook, and that’s evident in his nightly eight-course tasting menu featuring creative dishes, precisely executed, with complex layers of flavors. The foie gras boudin has become an instant hit." - Rafael Tonon
