Brazilian Vanguard Cuisine. Cooked Over Fire. Opened its doors in 2010 and has since consolidated itself as a reference for innovation and revolution in the Brazilian food scene.
2 MICHELIN Stars: Excellent cooking, worth a detour!
One of those restaurants that every food-lover should get to know! The rapport formed between chef Felipe Bronze and sommelier Cecilia Aldaz works wonderfully well, with large doses of friendliness, in this charming and elegant restaurant one block from Leblon beach, where the cuisine is a fusion of Brazilian roots and cutting-edge technique. This is reflected in the Afetividade and Criatividade menus (with two and four main courses, respectively) which pay homage to the different regions of Brazil. The kitchen is situated upstairs, hence the almost constant and careful movement of trays up and down the stairs. What impressed us first and foremost was the creativity of the starters, including the superb oysters with jabuticaba, and the selection of appetisers to eat with your hands, some of which are crunchy, some Brazilian, and others inspired by Japanese cuisine.

the food was very good, mostly the main courses and deserts, amazing. they were very nice to offer a cake with a sparkling firework for my wife’s birthday. what they need to pay attention to is at the details: they did not have wi-fi working and for a foreigner that was an inconvenience. the bathrooms are not looking 5 stars. wine paring should come with a glass of wine for each dish, but it did not - wasn’t such an inconvenience but the price is high for the amount of wine served

Gold delivers what is expected. It has a menu with very own options and in general it is all very well done. I loved almost every ticket. The most notable were the sandwich that honors Cervantes and the salty Mochi. We request the larger menu, which includes all 4 main of the menu. But honestly, I just liked the shrimp. Same opinion as my wife. Not that the others were badly made, but they are more insane than the rest of the menu. The dessert was again jus to place. I ordered one that sounded ice cream. The taste reminded me of ravisco, a sweet from the interior of the state that I adore. Cordial service, inside and outside the restaurant. We asked, for example, to decrease the air conditioning that was pointed at our desk and immediately answered. The price is expensive, as expected, but delivery within that pattern too. I think it's worth a visit to meet.

Oro is one my favorite restaurants and I go there everytime I come to Rio. I love their interpretation of brazilian dishes like casquinha de siri, camarão na moranga and the famous pão de queijo. I'm brazilian living abroad and to taste those flavors in a fine dining restaurant is amazing. There were also Asian dishes including a patoyaki which is a takoyaki with duck. Service is very friendly. They are interested in checking if everything is fine, and after all the dishes "Com as mãos" were served they asked if we would like to choose one more to repeat. Wine pairing was also perfect. We had a great evening

You know that restaurant where the employees are counting the minutes to leave, that serving and welcoming the public is a gift and that having achieved certain success in the past somehow allows them to forget that the most important person in the service is the customer. ? Well, that sums up our experience at this restaurant. We live in Europe and have been to several starred restaurants, I can say that this restaurant left a lot to be desired. Look for other options and get value for your money.

I've never been to such a beautiful restaurant and I've never been served as well as at Oro, each dish and each flavor was a truly delicious experience, we can't predict what the flavor will be just by looking at the dish, but they were all very good, definitely high Gastronomy is an experience worth every penny. I won't be back, it was a privilege to be able to afford one night, but it's really too expensive for my pocket (when I win the mega sena, I'll go every night hahaha), anyway, I loved the experience. Some points that in my opinion were not so cool is that the pairing with the wines x the amount of food being small made the alcohol level much higher and then the information explained was lost in the process lol And I know that a lot of people leave satisfied, but I think I had too many expectations about eating several small dishes and thought I would leave satisfied, but that didn't happen. I was hungry lol I wish I could have at least repeated the moti or the oyster, which were divine! And that. Thank you Oro, you were great.

Very good service; most of the food items was delicious. I was surprised they didn’t offer amuse-bouche which is usual in these restaurants. The main courses were too tiny, the size of appetizers. I wouldn’t call it a main course. The difference in price between the 2 and 4 main course option is only about 15 dollars which shows that these are not really main courses but more like bite-size meals. Great taste and concept, very polite staff but a bit of an overpriced meal, especially when you add drinks. The restaurant needs a little bit of a refreshing design.

Delicious food, cozy atmosphere, impeccable service. I recommend! Oro Restaurante provides an exceptional gastronomic experience. From starter to dessert, each dish is a masterpiece of refined flavors and elegant presentation. The atmosphere is sophisticated, creating a welcoming and contemporary atmosphere. The team demonstrates professionalism and attention to detail, further elevating the experience. Fresh ingredients and innovative combinations reflect a dedication to high-quality cuisine. Wine options are carefully selected to enhance each meal. Oro Restaurante is more than a meal; is a celebration of refined cuisine and exceptional hospitality.

We chose the more extensive tasting menu. The dishes were very well prepared, leading to very special flavors. That's why they deserve a 5-star rating on Trio Advisor. The wine list is sufficient, but it seems to me that it could be improved for a restaurant that boasts 2 Michelin stars. Refined atmosphere and efficient service, including the sommelier. One thing, however, caught my attention in several of the dishes served: they had a pinch of SALT above what was necessary. My wife thought the same, as did another colleague I met at the restaurant and spoke to about it before leaving. I shared this impression with the waiter. This excess salt may be an issue for the household to consider. Especially when it comes to a restaurant of this level (taking into account price, structure, creativity of the dishes, etc.). Finally, the sweets that accompanied the coffee were great.

Beautiful environment, excellent food, wonderful wine harmonization, but... The promised harmonization of wines provided in some stages the same wine for various dishes and as there was no wine in my cup for the last one I had to hear from the manager Luana, in a tone of calling my attention, almost a bronchial, that I would not have the right to two more fingers of the wine but that she would do the “gentility” of serving me a little more wine for this last entry. Disleading. Served and pleased, Luana. The price paid for the harmonization would definitely not bring any harm to the restaurant for serving two more fingers of the wine that was not enough for all the dishes served at this stage. But the little bronchial of manager Luana for not saving the wine in the previous dishes will be well boasted.

My wife and I went to Oro to celebrate our wedding anniversary and we had a great experience. Upon arrival, we were very well received by the hostess who placed us at a well-located table in the main hall. Afterwards, the maitre d' explained the tasting menu options to us, and we chose Afetividade, as we didn't have much of an appetite. Among the starters, the highlights were the Shrimp and pumpkin, the crab cone and the Banh ́mi. As a main course, the Pork and Umebash was very good. For dessert, I recommend the Honey, Chestnuts and Pomegranate. And at the end of the night, they kindly offered us a cake to celebrate the date. It was a special night! I recommend!

The experience at Gold was excellent. The food remains exceptional, it was not our first time at the restaurant. Friendly and professional service. A battalion of waiters and waitresses, all very attentive to the lounge. The chef’s creativity in reinterpreting typical Brazilian dishes delights every bite! Last but not least, it was my husband's birthday and they brought a special cake. Very nice!

Almost perfect! All the entries were wonderful and surprising. Unfortunately, the two main dishes disappeared completely...they weren’t bad, just nothing very interesting (including the Camarão and the Fish). The dessert was so good that I asked to repeat! If the main dishes followed the same line as everyone else, it would be the best restaurant in Rio.

We returned to see if things have changed since covid, and while there were some great dishes, my comment about this being a 1 star Michelin still stands. The good: everything on the "starters" which were a collection of interesting and very tasty snacks, with the highlight being the "burger" with kimchi. Just fabulous. We also loved the wine pairing which was a nice way to discover some great local or eclectic wines. The not so good: the main dishes were all good but a bit bland. For example, corn on white fish is not going to be very flavorful. Everything was cooked well but nothing stood out. The bad: while the service was very good, for a 2 star Michelin, there were some bad misses. For example, the beef and fish dishes were overcooked and we didn't eat most of it but the waiter seemed obviously that something was wrong despite us making comments about it. Our dessert was very late and it appeared to have been given to the table nearby by mistake. Again, no acknowledgement about delays or even awareness ot happened. Overall, this was very good but absolutely does not deserve a Michelin 2 star. But as a 1 star, it would be considered great

Great service. Tasting menu left to be desired. A lot of creativity in the presentation, but the taste of the dishes had nothing special, some super salty dishes the dessert was very tasty. It wasn't worth the price.

I never expected from myself to like a Michelin starred restaurant. True, there was a lot of pretentiousness - do you really need those giant plates with tiny food in the middle - but the truth is that the food was delicious. Not just tasty in the normal restaurant sense, but with flavor combinations you simply can't experience anywhere else. Would suggest to skip the wine pairing and just choose your own bottle, we ended up paying $140 in total which was definitely worth the experience.
