Oro

$$$$ | Leblon

While rising star Felipe Bronze has long been known for his avant-garde Brazilian tasting menus, his approach has found a welcomed simplicity since he moved fine dining restaurant Oro from its Jardim Botânico location to Leblon in 2016. The two versions of the menu degustation feature a series of small, elaborately prepared dishes, including oysters, pão de queijo and other Brazilians delicacies. It's one of the two Michelin stars in the city and was recently listed as 91st Best Restaurant in Latin America.
