Named after the mother of Osklen founder Oskar Metsavaht, Amelia is a new dining experience that offers a single four-course tasting meal for one set price. Opening in June 2026, it is the in-house restaurant of the JANEIRO Hotel, situated on the second floor with a view of Leblon beach. The intimate, dinner-only setting accommodates around 48 guests, providing a relaxed and exclusive atmosphere.
The restaurant's menu consists of a sequence of amuse-bouche, starter, main course, and dessert, with a few choices at each stage. This structured approach aims to guide diners through a contemporary tasting menu inspired by the world's coastal destinations and Rio itself. The cuisine is modern and sea-facing, blending diverse influences and highlighting local ingredients.
Priced at R$380 per person (approximately US$73), Amelia caters to special occasions and is considered a higher-end dining experience in Rio. Drinks and service are typically extra, so the final bill may be higher than the listed price. The restaurant operates Tuesday to Sunday, from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., with Mondays being a closed day. Reservations are recommended, especially for weekends, to secure a table and accommodate dietary preferences. Dress smart-casual for the sophisticated, five-star ambiance.
