Oteque Rua Conde de Irajá Botafogo Reviews
Rushed dinner
I visited Oteque with my husband on January 2nd, while in my hometown for the holidays. We go often to Michelin star restaurants and wanted to visit the 37o best restaurant in the world. I made the reservation months in advance, also paying in advance (including 12,5% service). In the email confirmation it was mentioned that there was a 15 minute tolerance for the reservation. The food was good, as expected, but didn't cause me the "wow" factor. I noticed the dishes were coming very fast one after the other. After around 2 hours, while we were having tea, we were offered a drink in the bar because they needed the table. This has never happened before to me on a fine dining restaurant. Michelin * restaurants are an experience, you are not there to be rushed. They should inform in the reservation that you have 2 hours for a 8 course menu, like it is informed an all you can eat restaurant. I sent them an email about the situation and no one cared to reply.
This was my first Michelin experience! Bryan and I had so
This was my first Michelin experience! Bryan and I had so much fun at the chefs table. We went in July 2024 and are STILL raving about this! We're planning on coming back for my 30th at the end of this year it was THAT good! If you have the opportunity go with one person so you can be at the chefs table and have a super private experience. All food intolerances welcomed as they cater to so much!

Do you like a portable speaker blasting random music such as Billy Idol in your ears so loud that you can't hear the staff describe the wine and course? The girl handling wine was mixed up and we could not hear her comments about the wines. It was so loud we couldn't hear one single comment. That truly took away from the experience. Also, kitchen staff was on their phones texting during the meal. Food was fine. It's what I have as a normal dinner out, nothing special. Fine but nothing stood out. Also the bathroom door was broken or something was off with it. Again, not nearly what was expected. It wasn't as bad as possible so 2 stars but certainly not 3. How the heck did this get 2 Michelin stars ?
A pretty high cost for this one
This one got me surprised. A 2 star Michellin place, renowed througout the city and reviews about the experience and the food; we went (me and my wife) with high expectations (specially comparing with our experience with Oro, tha was a blast) of having a prime dinner. And we didn't got that. Don't get me wrong, the place is ok, it's a room with 8 tables and a bar and normal decoration, but the sound sytem is a boombox at the corner of the room, and my table was the nearest one. I had to ask to lower the volume to the manager, that promptly did it for 30 minutes, then it was impossible to her my wife speaking. The A/C was booming, and even in Rio, I got cold in the room. The food was ok; for a 2 star, I wasn't amazed by the taste. The manufacturing of it was amazing, but the taste itself didn't surprised us. The attending by the staff was as warm and kind was expected, what soothed all of this so so experience. Sincerely, I won't be coming back, unfortunately
Oteque have recently received their second Michelin star
Oteque have recently received their second Michelin star and it's well deserved! I assume the menu will rotate enough that it's not worth going into the details on each plate so here's a couple tips: 1. Sit at the chef's table if dining for two. While the room is small, everyone faces forward to the kitchen and the front table is the chef's table. 2. Save room for the bread! Every dish was flavorful and interesting but hot bread loaf and butter is always delicious and they do it well! 3. Consider ordering saki. Not only does it go nicely with the mostly seafood dishes, but they have some good choices and the price of the wines are pricey! Overall a great meal and probably my favorite Michelin in town (yes I've tried them all)

I had to downgrade my review here from TripAdvisor after seeing on social media they served some solo "influencer" wagyu beef, not offered on the menu. The sommelier was also fixated on her and never came back to ice table the last three courses. Get it together!!! Low class
Refined food and rock music? Sign me up! Jamming out to
Refined food and rock music? Sign me up! Jamming out to AC/DC, Queen and the Ramones while getting pampered. The chefs table was amazing, almost as much fun to watch the chef and team work as it was to eat. Not really, but that's because the food was so good. The restaurant is small and intimate. Guests are outnumbered by talented staff both in the kitchen and in the dining room. In the order the dishes were served. The bluefin tuna with the added caviar was delicious. Familiar, but very tasty. The oyster with tomato confit/vinaigrette was plump fresh, sweet with a little tartness from the tomato. The Barao potato was my favorite course of the evening. Served with cured pork and on top of a Brazilian nut milk reduction. Great contrast in texture and flavor. The squid was sliced super thin and cooked lightly to preserve its texture, lightly accompanied by vegetable cream and white shimeji. The slipper lobster was cooked to absolute perfection and served with a pickled green apple which added necessary acid and crunch. The yellow hake was sublime with leeks and buckwheat. The buckwheat added a nice earthiness and the chef again mastered not only flavor but texture as well. The final savory course was braised beef shin. My least favorite dish of I had to pick one. It's not that it wasn't tasty, because it was. It was just very rich compared to the rest of the courses. The bone marrow was perhaps my favorite component of the dish. Dessert, usually an afterthought for me, was a fantastic trifecta of coconut.....coconut sorbet/coconut praline/series green coconut. Super light and a great way to finish our experience. After dinner we ask if we could thank the chef for a great meal, he happily came over and was surprisingly chatty. We thanked him and asked for a lunch recommendation for the next day. He happily obliged and told us to go to Lilia (which was a great suggestion). If you couldn't tell, I'll say it, I HIGHLY recommend the experience here. Worth the hype and the price tag.
Incredible experience.
First a shout out to the staff. They are like a precision military unit. Trained to perform impeccably. The ambience is also very nice and the food creative, innovative and original. We have eaten at many Michelin restaurants around the world but this was by far the best!

I agree that the ambience is outstanding, you feel inside a cuisine tv show! The service is quite good too. The food was very good, not excellent as I expect from these kind of places were the expectations are super high, always. The bluefin tuna, the best!! Estoy de acuerdo en que el ambiente es excepcional, te sientes dentro de un programa de televisión de cocina. El servicio también es bastante bueno. La comida era muy buena, no excelente como espero de este tipo de lugares donde las expectativas son súper altas, siempre. El atún rojo, el mejor!!
