Compared with the French restaurants above, Câreme is a more casual bistrô. You’l see and feel the difference as soon as you arrive. The room is small, with mirrored walls, white tablecloths and a highly polished wooden floor. The diners are younger. And although everyone is well dressed, jackets are not required. The food, however, is on a par with its more formal counterparts. Owner/chef Flavia Quaresma is one of Rio’s best known chefs and one of only a handful of women running first-class kitchens here. She was previously the chef at Eça (downtown), where her menu was also innovative. There are several prix-fixe menus nightly, as well as a tasting menu. Menus change seasonally. Specialties include game; the veal, rabbit and duck stew on mushrooms and greens is most popular. Grilled duck with a cassis jus, oysters boiled in green tea with a tangerine sauce and entrecôte with dried junipers are repeat menu items. Desserts are rich and delicious. The food is fabulous and the restaurant romantic – a great combination. Reservations required.
