Restaurante Mee

Not Michelin worthy! I’m Asian so I was very excited to try a Michelin starred Asian restaurant in Rio, but both my husband and I were disappointed with Mee. The food isn’t anything memorable nor spectacular. Service was very good and on par with a fine dining experience, but overall I can’t recommend this place (unless you aren’t expecting much in terms of food and just want a place with chic ambience). Go to Oro instead for a starred experience with some Asian-inspired courses.

The place was very chique, well designed inside and with an iconic location on Copacabana. It was very cold inside the restaurant, they gave everyone blankets, which made the experience slightly less pleasant. The food was amazing, we had an array of sushi, gyoza, tempura, sashimi, and more. It was definitely of the highest quality, however, after the dinner we all felt that although it was very good, it was not worthy of one michelin star. This does not take away from the fact that it was delicious, however, our expectations were set much higher than what we experienced.

Best Restaurant in Rio!!!! I promise that you won't be disappointed at all, from start to finish it was amazing. I had the Wagyu beef It was super delicious, cooked just right. Everything on the menu is made of love. I wanted to go back a second night. I wish I could Uber eats that place here in America lol definitely a vibe.

MEE in Rio offers a sensory delight, blending contemporary Pan-Asian cuisine with an elegant ambiance. The bar provides a unique vantage point to witness skilled sushi chefs at work, adding to the immersive experience so make sure you ask to have a drink at the bar before dinner. Nestled in the iconic Copacabana Palace, this Michelin-starred gem, led by Chef Alberto Morisawa, impresses with its exotic and intimate charm as well as an extensive menu, making it a standout among Rio's best restaurants.

We did the Omakase experience. Everything was delicious, the service excellent.

Not really sure how this restaurant has a Michelin star. The menu is too confused with too much variety in terms of Asian food, so there is no 'speciality'. I ordered a lamb curry and it was nothing of the sort - it was more of a lamb grill with some silky sauce poured over, as per picture. There was no 'wow' factor you usually get with Michelin meals. My companions said the same. Service and ambiance was fine, but the food was lacking for Michelin standards. Also the toilets I was directed to during service were dirty. In terms of a Michelin meal i give 2/5.

One of the very best meals of my life. I’ve traveled worldwide, and I was deeply moved by the gastronomic fantasy I savored last evening. Let me start with the food… superb. The ingredients were combined in a way so that each course of the tasting menu was art. Then, because it’s a tasting menu, each course interacted with the previous course.. and then set the stage for the next. This is a true food odyssey!!! I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the above and beyond attention by the staff. They quietly stood by and guided and explained. While perhaps some would take it as too much staff interaction, I appreciated it. It was a pleasure to be guided. The staff was proud of their offerings, and perfectly presented each course. Stefani was my lead server, and she was knowledgeable, friendly and kind. I understand she’s new to Mee. She’s the consummate hostess! If your considering Mee, I would encourage you to try the tasting menu. Be prepared for spectacular!

Eaten in many fine dining restaurants around the World, and I also found that although the presentation of the food is very good, it just doesn’t have those mouth watering flavours that you would expect, especially for a Michelin Star restaurant and the price here. The sponge cake on my last desert even tasted off. Ambience and service was excellent, but definitely not Michelin quality food for tastes and I wouldn’t recommend for what you would expect here.
