The Japanese word ‘omakase’ comes from the verb to trust and, in the gastronomic context, symbolizes “trusting the chef”. The tasting menu has become popular in Brazil for surprising participants with delicacies from oriental cuisine, but one restaurant in the capital decided to innovate and came up with the meat Omakase.
Offered at Varanda D.inner, as with traditional omakases, the chef coordinating the experience also has the freedom to choose what will be served to the members of the small tasting group. So, when you take part in this experience, be open to discovering new flavors and don’t expect to be handed a simple traditional restaurant menu. As soon as you sit down at the chef’s counter, he coordinates the choice of dishes from start to finish.
How does the meat Omakase work?
The ‘trust menu’ offered by chef Fábio Lazzarini at Varanda D.inner is super exclusive and authentic. Each evening, six people sit in front of the counter where Lazzarini prepares a 15-step menu live for the omakase participants.
This unconventional gastronomic experience costs around R$500 per person and, to guarantee your place, it is essential to make a reservation in advance by calling (11) 99888-7729 or on the website. After that, all you have to do is visit the restaurant on the scheduled date and trust the chef!
