Located in Botafogo, one of the trendiest neighborhoods in Rio de Janeiro, Michelin-starred Oteque ranks regularly in The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list, and is widely considered one the greatest restaurants in Latin America. In his debut chef monograph, Alberto Landgraf describes his creative approach to culinary artistry, revealing how his uniquely innovative and intellectual take on modern Brazilian cuisine has earned the restaurant a passionate global fanbase.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Alberto Landgraf is one of the most influential chefs in Latin America, and his Michelin-starred restaurant, Oteque, in Rio de Janeiro, frequently ranks in the World’s 50 Best restaurants. Brazilian-born, half-German, half-Japanese Alberto switched from Physics to food in his early twenties. Training at London’s Westminster College in London, he learnt his trade under the tutelage of culinary luminaries including Tom Aikens and Gordon Ramsay, before returning to Brazil. He opened his first restaurant, Epice, in Sâo Paulo in 2011, and launched Oteque in 2018. At Oteque, he coalesces his contemporary, global fine-dining style with indigenous Brazilian ingredients to produce minimalist, world-class food.

Andrea Petrini, born in Italy, resident in France, is a journalist, author and food critic. He is the French president of the jury for The World’s 50 Best Restaurants, and founder of Gelinaz food culture festival. He and Alberto have worked closely for years, and his essays are based on a series of extensive interviews about Alberto’s life and methodology.

Robert Astley-Sparke is an accomplished British photographer known for his fine art and portraiture work. His work has been exhibited internationally and featured in leading fashion publications and his clients include Tom Ford, Cartier, United Nations, Christies and John Galliano.
