Xian Rio, Japanese restaurant in Zona Central, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Xian Rio is a Japanese restaurant in central Rio de Janeiro set across multiple levels with an amphitheater-style arrangement. Each table sits on its own platform, creating a layered dining space where guests look out across the room.
The restaurant took root in Zona Central and became part of Rio de Janeiro's evolving food scene. Its arrival brought Japanese gastronomy to a neighborhood in transition, adding new dimensions to the city's dining culture.
The chef blends Brazilian ingredients with Japanese cooking methods, creating dishes that speak to both cultures through flavor and technique. Diners experience a kitchen that honors local produce while staying rooted in Japanese traditions.
The dining space spreads across multiple levels, so expect stairs and changes in elevation throughout the room. Booking ahead is wise if you want to secure a table on a specific tier.
The staggered table arrangement means every guest gazes across the entire restaurant floor without other diners blocking the view. This design creates a space where you sit in your own area while still seeing the whole room unfold.
