Being a professional guide/photographer for Rio Photo Guide, I definitely love to tryout new places. I was looking forward for a while to go to Maison VG and had high expectations. It was a true gastronomic heaven! To start, it is located in a eco village in Vargem Grande, quite a drive if you are in Zona Sul, but it is every km worth! Take it as a day trip, combine it with one of the many attractions the region has to offer such as the eco beaches - Grumari and Prainha, Sítio Burlemax or enjoy a day at the waterfalls. The chef and the manager are lovely and the food is sublime! The chef has a Micheline Star, so be prepared for the experience. A franco-azian fusion prepared with organic ingredients from the village's garden. And to make the experience even more complete, you can book one of the well designed suites and stay for breakfast in paradise. Enjoy!!!
