Romantic vibes with Leblon sea views

Black Angus Tomahawk pairs meat jus and morels with Provençal-glazed veggies and herb-infused brioche farofa.
Atlantic fish brandade offers bagna cauda sauce and velvety caramelized onion puree. It ends strong with warm 70% chocolate tart, cupuaçu sorbet, yogurt foam, red berry sorbet, and hibiscus powder.
