Fantastic experience! 10 seater, intimate dining space. Well thought of, well executed menu. Incredible skill needed to create food. Everything was perfectly seasoned. Portion sizes were excellent, you will not leave the restaurant hungry or overly full Beautiful farm-to-table concept Absolutely everything was local, ie from the state of Rio At end of the meal, they even provided a thoughtful gift to take home plus the menu for the evening I'd return again if only Rio weren't a 36 hour travel away from my home base. Fantastic!

Excellent cuisine, definitely deserving of two stars. The concept of serving classic Brazilian snacks before the main courses is an incredibly good idea—typical Japanese omakase with a pleasant Brazilian flair. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Rio.

Absolutely amazing dining experience. The restaurant looks great, staff is very attentitive and will make sure you have the best evening. To see the chefs so closely prepare your meals, working together, it’s almost like a culinairy exhibition. The dishes were delicious, very well presented and contained delicious products from Brazil. Overall, worth visiting if you’re in Rio and appreciate fine dining!

Well balanced menu, served over 2 hours. It deserves the Michelin rating. Definitely go with empty stomach if you want to enjoy till the last plate.

I been to all restaurants in Rio with Michelin stars. Lasai surprised me the least. Maybe I was expecting too much. The restaurant is super small so you feel close to the chef and staff. But they gave us little attention. Barely spoke to us. The chef left in after two dishes to go to a soccer game. Lol dont need to tell us. Telling us that is a little disrespectful. The food was ok. Not amazing. Is a 1.5k BRL dinner per person…
