MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

One Star: High quality cooking

(Temporarily closed for refurbishment) Part of the historic “Copa” (Copacabana Palace, A Belmond Hotel), the city’s most famous hotel thanks to its setting on what is considered by many to be the world’s most famous beach, the Ristorante Hotel Cipriani is a sophisticated space that combines the best of Italy and Brazil. Here, Italian chef Nello Cassese creates a single tasting menu entitled Essenza Dell'Evoluzione (choose between the full 14-course experience or a shorter 11-course option) that uses Italian ingredients that he expertly combines with others sourced more locally, in so doing giving classic Neapolitan and Piedmontese specialities (such as deep-fried pizza and “Mediterranean” tuna) a more contemporary feel alongside an array of other more creative dishes. One dish that particularly stood out was the red prawns with an almond “escabeche” and Russian salad. While dining, enjoy views of the splendid swimming pool, discreetly illuminated at night, through the restaurant’s windows.
