Michelin prices in Brazil
The 2026 Michelin Guide listings in Brazil show eight restaurants in Rio de Janeiro with tasting menus priced roughly from R$440 to R$1,380 (drinks excluded), across neighborhoods such as Leblon, Ipanema, Botafogo and Jardim Botânico. (diariodorio.com) São Paulo’s coverage highlights names like Evvai and Tuju among starred restaurants, and the Bib Gourmand in Rio is being used to flag places with strong value.

Eating at a Michelin-starred restaurant in Rio now starts at R$440 and climbs to R$1,380 before drinks, according to the 2026 guide’s newly updated list. (diariodorio.com) The 2026 Michelin Guide Rio de Janeiro & São Paulo was announced on April 13 at the Copacabana Palace, and Rio finished with eight starred restaurants: two with two stars and six with one. Madame Olympe, in Leblon, was the new Rio entry with one star. (michelin.com) (vejario.abril.com.br) At the low end in Rio, Madame Olympe lists a four-course menu at R$440 and an eight-course menu at R$540. At the top end, Oro’s tasting menu reaches R$1,380, while Lasai charges R$1,250 and Mee lists an omakase at R$950. (diariodorio.com) (oglobo.globo.com) Those menu prices usually exclude wine, sake, or champagne pairings, which can add hundreds of reais more. Diário do Rio reported harmonizations from R$280 at Madame Olympe to R$1,950 at Mee with Ruinart champagne. (diariodorio.com) The Rio price list landed as Brazil crossed a separate Michelin milestone in São Paulo. Michelin said Evvai and Tuju became the first restaurants in Brazil and Latin America to win three stars in the 2026 edition. (michelin.com) (guide.michelin.com) In São Paulo, the new three-star tier is even higher: G1 reported Evvai’s tasting menu at R$1,150, and other outlets said the full experience at Evvai and Tuju can rise past R$3,000 with pairings. (g1.globo.com) (gq.globo.com) Michelin’s star system is only part of the story in Brazil this year. The guide also updated its Bib Gourmand list, the category it uses for restaurants judged to offer strong value for the money. (oglobo.globo.com) (guide.michelin.com) Rio added Koral to that Bib Gourmand group, joining Artigiano, Brota, Didier, Maria e o Boi, Miam Miam, Pici Trattoria and Sult. O Globo reported Rio now has eight Bib Gourmand restaurants, while Exame said Brazil has 46 in total. (oglobo.globo.com) (exame.com) So the 2026 Michelin update in Brazil split into two tracks at once: a record-setting top end in São Paulo and a clearer price map for diners in Rio, where even the entry point to a starred tasting menu now sits at R$440 before drinks.
