WHY WE LIKE IT

The restaurants are known to be the best in Rio and they certainly live up to this title; the Cipriani offers exceptional Northern Italian cuisine with Chef Luca Orini’s vibrant menu combining the best Brazilin and Italian ingredients. Located in the heart of the hotel, the Chefs table is one of the most exclusive fine dining experiences in Rio; guests follow Chef Orini as he prepares an array of dishes inspired by the fresh ingredients of the day. If this doesn’t take you fancy head to Mee a Michelin star restaurant or the Copacabana piano bar to enjoy some jazz music and delicious aperitifs.
