This week it was time for Brazil to have its stars shining in the world of culinary.
Since Michelin made their return last year after suspending the awards a few years ago, Brazil is back in the map represented by its two main capitals of restaurants, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.
Last year they introduced the Green Star, to award the restaurants that are working with special attention to sustainability and tenability.
We have four newly awarded their first star:
Congratulations to Casa 201 and Oseille in Rio de Janeiro and Kanoe and Ryo Gastronomia in São Paulo.
São Paulo proudly hosts three of the five 2 stars restaurants in Brazil.
D.O.M leads its two stars for ten years consecutively.
EVVAI is holding strong with their two stars since receiving its second last year.
TUJU had its coming back last year and scored two well deserved stars straight away together with the Green one.
In Rio de Janeiro Lasai and Oro hold their places on the top with their 2 stars.
The MICHELIN Guide Rio de Janeiro & São Paulo 2025 Overview:
Two Michelin Stars: 5 Restaurants
One MICHELIN Star: 20 Restaurants (4 new)
MICHELIN Green Star: 3 Restaurants
Bib Gourmand: 40 Restaurants (5 new)
But Michelin is not only made of its star recognition. It is important to remember that The Michelin Guide also highlights other restaurants that deserve a place in the selection for the quality of their cuisine, regardless of style.
In both Rio and São Paulo, the number of establishments continues to grow. With 12 new additions this year, the total is now 84 restaurants: 54 in São Paulo and 30 in Rio de Janeiro.
