Ristorante Hotel Cipriani

One of my favourite restaurants. I’ve had the pleasure of dining at Cipriani twice—once in 2022 and again in 2025—and both experiences have been exceptional. As a vegetarian, I’ve opted for the vegetarian tasting menu each time, and it has been fantastic. It never feels like a compromise; every dish is thoughtfully crafted and highly imaginative. The service is always outstanding, making each visit a delight. The staff are incredibly helpful, taking the time to explain each dish in English (my Portuguese is improving, but still a work in progress!). The wine list is extensive, though slightly on the higher end price-wise for what’s on offer. Italian wines, unsurprisingly, are a highlight, but I’d love to see more focus on white wines. That said, I understand red wines are generally favoured here in Brazil. A particular standout is the restaurant’s commitment to evolving its offerings. I love that they now feature a full vegan tasting menu alongside a great selection of vegan dishes. Each visit has felt unique, and it’s clear they are continuously refining and elevating the experience. Overall, Cipriani is a world-class restaurant that masterfully balances tradition with innovation, honouring the foundations of Italian cuisine while exploring new creative possibilities. I can’t wait for my next visit! Muito obrigado!
