The Restaurant
Lasai, helmed by chef Rafa Costa e Silva, offers a tranquil yet vibrant dining experience in Rio de Janeiro. The restaurant's name, meaning "tranquil" in Basque, reflects the chef's time honing his skills at Mugaritz in Spain. Located in a reimagined old Rio house, the atmosphere is modern and welcoming. Costa e Silva's cuisine emphasizes Brazilian ingredients, many sourced from his own gardens in Itanhangá and Vale das Videiras, alongside the freshest seafood and meats. The surprise tasting menu highlights seasonal, organic produce with an emphasis on vegetables. Lasai earned one Michelin star in 2015 and a second in 2024. Dining here feels like attending an exclusive show, with only ten seats available around a single counter, offering an intimate view of the culinary artistry.
