Rio de Janeiro Restaurant

Forget what you know about the Rio culinary scene and imagine a totally different take on the gastronomic options the city has to offer. Bagatelle offers a lively atmosphere with signature European flare and a menu carefully curated with traditional French dishes and a touch of local influence. A classic French bistro with roots in NYC, Bagatelle is set inside the historical Jockey Club building, one of the city’s most recognizable sights. Your night at Bagatelle begins with traditional French fare infused with a bit of Brazilian flavor, courtesy of Gustavo Young, Corporate Chef for Bagatelle Brazil. “The idea of Bagatelle is to be a provencal kitchen, traditional and warm, a true offering of comfort food, but one with a sprinkle of Rio’s influence”, says Young. In Rio, the kitchen is run by chef Thiago Maeda, who takes advantage of the region’s best and freshest ingredients, such as the abundance of fish from Cabo Frio, the seafood extravaganza and typical Brazilian appetizers with a Parisian touch.

Aberto em 2008 em Nova Iorque pelos sócios franceses Aymeric Clemente e Remi Laba, o Bagatelle surgiu com o objetivo de ser um restaurante autêntico francês e mediterrâneo, tanto no ambiente como na cozinha. Com um estilo único que engloba cardápio clássico, com decoração chique, música animada e elementos divertidos. Seguindo a mesma linha, a primeira casa no Brasil foi inaugurada com sucesso em 2012, em São Paulo, e está entre franquias como Miami, St. Barth, Saint-Tropez, Dubai e, mais recentemente, Punta Del Este. No final de 2015, inaugurou a filial carioca, sob comando do talentoso chef Thiago Maeda, dentro do Jockey Club Brasileiro, na Gávea. Em menos de três meses de funcionamento, a casa já tinha virado o novo hotspot do Rio de Janeiro.

Aymeric Clemente & Remi Laba

The Bagatelle Brand came to life when business partners Aymeric Clemente and Remi Laba shared a desire to translate their previous experience in Hospitality in an environment that stood a lot closer to their idea of what a modern dining destination should be like, and was in line with their own aspirations. Today, they feel very fortunate to be able to expand Bagatelle globally in 9 locations and counting, and to find that their restaurant values resonate so loudly amongst the global dining scene. Aymeric and Remi are most proud of all the beautiful memories they have helped their customers build as well as being a witness to many wonderful life celebrations. To them, Bagatelle is a lifestyle, a way of life, where Joie de Vivre is a constant driver.We look forward to meeting and dining with you soon. Please come say hello!
