Restaurante Mee

Nestled in the vibrant neighborhood of Copacabana, this Rio restaurant delivers an unforgettable culinary experience, blending modern elegance with the warmth of attentive, impeccable service. Each dish, from perfectly seared dumplings to tender, thinly sliced beef topped with a rich egg yolk, showcases a masterful harmony of flavors and presentation. The cocktails captivate with their vibrant colors and expertly balanced flavors, while the umami-rich hand roll with caramelized fish and crisp seaweed leaves a lasting impression. With its exquisite cuisine and dedicated staff, this Copacabana restaurant is impressive beyond words. Truly a must!

We had the tasting menu. Some dishes, such as king crab with curry, were divine; others such as eel, less so. Desserts lovely. Wine list not great, very expensive vs.quality. Service delightful, prompt, informative and efficient.

Came here for my birthday, my wife and I are vegan/vegetarian. They catered to our dietary restrictions with great detail. Some of the best service I have had at restaurant. They made my birthday very special, Victoria was the server that made all this possible. She was absolutely amazing!

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.

Still trying to understand how this place got a Michelin star. We made sure to order different bits to try but all dishes were nothing but average.

We had high expectations for Mee, a Michelin-starred Asian restaurant in Rio, but unfortunately, it fell short. While the service was excellent and in line with what you’d expect from fine dining, the food was underwhelming. The dishes lacked the bold, memorable flavors you’d hope for in a Michelin-starred establishment, and nothing stood out as particularly spectacular. Both my wife and I left feeling disappointed, as the experience didn’t live up to its reputation. Overall, while the service was a highlight, the food didn’t justify the Michelin star. Sadly, we can’t recommend 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.

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!
