In a serene, design-forward setting, chefs compose vibrant dishes that balance the tingling allure of Sichuan peppercorn with silk-smooth textures, pristine seafood, and thoughtfully sourced produce. From crystalline mapo tofu with wagyu ragù to tea-smoked duck perfumed with osmanthus, each plate is a study in precision and drama—heightened by rare teas, curated Baijiu flights, and a cellar of Old World wines chosen to temper the flame with elegance. < Back Sichuan Gourmet NOT YET RATED Sichuan RESTAURANT SUMMARY Sichuan Gourmet invites discerning diners into a world where tradition is elevated and fire becomes fine art.

The menu speaks in layers: an elegant whisper of smoked tea, the citrus bloom of hand-crushed peppercorn, the slow crescendo of chili oil rendered clear and luminous. Mapo tofu lands like a sonnet—delicately trembling curds, a velvet ragù of wagyu, and a peppercorn mist that tingles and retreats in waves. Hand-pulled noodles arrive with the gloss of sesame and a precise hit of vinegar, while line-caught fish is poached to translucence in a fragrant broth that perfumes the air before the bowl touches linen. The theater extends beyond the plate. Tableside torching releases a fleeting breath of osmanthus, and porcelain vessels unveil silently steaming broth like a private ritual. For those who seek deeper immersion, curated tastings explore the nuanced spectrum of málà, from floral to resounding, plated in a progression that respects palate stamina and sensory clarity.

At Casa Rios, Chef Rodrigo Aguiar channels the soul of southeastern Brazil through an open kitchen where a wood oven and churrasco grill whisper smoke, flame, and finesse. Partnering with owner Giovanna Perrone, he elevates heritage recipes with seasonal ingredients from small-scale producers, translating tradition into contemporary elegance. Whether you select the tasting menu or à la carte, surrender to the signature pizzeta—cornbread crowned with merguez sausage—its blistered edges, savory perfume, and lingering heat offering a masterclass in restraint and pleasure. < Back Casa Rios NOT YET RATED Brazilian RESTAURANT SUMMARY Casa Rios is where Brazilian conviviality meets refined restraint, a stage for fire and smoke orchestrated with quiet confidence. From the moment you cross the threshold, the open kitchen commands attention—embers glowing, the wood oven sighing, the churrasco grill crackling softly like a secret being told. Chef Rodrigo Aguiar, a son of Rio de Janeiro, composes flavors with the discipline of a craftsman and the brio of a carioca, while owner Giovanna Perrone’s vision suffuses the space with warmth, grace, and an easy sophistication. Take a seat at the bar counter and the theater becomes intimate; you can watch each brush of oil, each turn of the skewer, each dough flicked into the flames. Aromas drift—sweet corn, charred citrus, rendered fat—the atmosphere perfumed with anticipation. Here, smoke is not brute force but a signature; its touch lingers like a memory, binding the dishes to a sense of place in southeastern Brazil. The menu honors the rhythms of the seasons and the work of small-scale producers. Aguiar draws from familiar Brazilian traditions and reframes them with modern delicacy: vegetables kissed by the grill retain their verdant bite; seafood arrives lacquered with subtle heat and bright acidity; meats emerge with a judicious crust and a tender, rosy heart. The tasting menu creates a narrative arc, yet the à la carte options invite indulgent detours—none more essential than the wood-fired pizzeta. Its cornbread base is gently smoky, edges blistered and playful, bearing merguez sausage whose spice coils into the crumb with savory persistence. Service is discreet yet anticipatory, guiding without intruding, and the wine list favors character over cliché—South American discoveries alongside Old World classics—each bottle chosen to dance with flame-driven flavors. The room’s glow, the hiss from the grill, the whisper of knife on board—it all coalesces into an experience that feels at once deeply Brazilian and resolutely cosmopolitan. At Casa Rios, tradition does not stand still; it smolders, it evolves, it captivates. This is a dining room for those who savor nuance: the hush before a plate is set down, the first ribbon of steam rising, the way smoke can both anchor and lift a dish. A meal here is an invitation to linger in the afterglow of fire—content, curious, and very much at home.

Perched above the city’s soft-lit skyline, Yama no Ue marries the grace of classical kaiseki with a contemporary sensibility, delivering a quietly opulent dining experience for those who savor nuance. Each course moves like a considered brushstroke—mountain herbs, pristine sashimi, charcoal-kissed wagyu—composed with balance, restraint, and an unwavering devotion to seasonality. Intimate and impeccably paced, the evening unfolds at the chef’s counter and in serene alcoves, where hand-thrown ceramics, whispering timber, and panoramic views heighten the senses. A meticulously curated sake and wine program—ranging from cult junmai daiginjo to grand cru Champagne—accentuates textures and temperature, inviting guests into a dialogue of flavor, time, and place. < Back Yama no Ue NOT YET RATED Tempura RESTAURANT SUMMARY Above the murmuring city, Yama no Ue reveals itself with quiet confidence—a sanctuary where time slows and appetite sharpens. The approach is hushed, the lighting soft, and the first impression is of balance: warm wood and stone, papered screens that filter the skyline into a moving painting, and seats that place you within the performance of the kitchen. It is a setting designed to soothe, to prepare the palate for a sequence of flavors that feel inevitable yet astonishing. The culinary philosophy rests on seasonality as a guiding star. Each course expresses the mountain-to-sea conversation of Japan’s terroir: oceanic clarity in a sashimi flight of translucent sweetness; the earthy lift of foraged mountain vegetables glossed with delicate citrus; wagyu barely warmed over binchotan, exhaling smoke as quietly as a silk thread. Broths carry depth without weight, rice arrives pearled and perfumed, and desserts glide toward subtlety rather than spectacle. Every detail—knife work, heat control, even the choice of serving vessel—conspires to honor the ingredient. At the chef’s counter, intimacy becomes choreography. The chef introduces courses with a scholar’s restraint and an artisan’s pride, while sommeliers move with gentle precision, tailoring pairings that articulate texture and temperature. The beverage program is a study in refinement: rare junmai daiginjo with snow-melt purity; mineral-driven white Burgundies that illuminate sweetness in shellfish; mature Champagne whose fine mousse threads through grilled eel and yuzu. Each pairing feels like a quiet revelation, the kind you absorb before you realize it has changed your palate. The dining room is a cocoon—not theatrical, but resonant. Hand-thrown ceramics with subtle glaze shifts mirror the menu’s seasonality; linen shifts under fingertips; the city’s lights drift below like stars in reverse. Service is present yet invisible, anticipating without intruding, translating desire into detail. Moments accumulate with unforced grace: the whisper of a lid lifted from a lacquered bowl, the cedar perfume of a steaming chawan, the soft chime of crystal against wood. Yama no Ue is not simply a meal; it is a cultivated pause—an ascent to clarity above the city’s hum. For travelers who collect experiences more than reservations, it offers a rare equilibrium: heritage without nostalgia, luxury without excess, and flavors that linger like a well-kept secret shared at altitude.

Diners can chart their own course à la carte, or opt for a set menu that distills the kitchen’s vision into a graceful progression of plates. The experience is made complete by thoughtful Turkish wine pairings, a journey through terroirs that mirror the menu’s geography: crisp whites that echo the sea’s salinity, vibrant rosés that dance with herbs, and sleek, structured reds that frame the gentle heat and fragrant oils. The sommelier’s guidance is discreet yet assured, celebrating native varietals with quiet confidence.
