Three stunning places to eat at when you’re in The Americas

01 D.O.M Restaurant, Brazil

With his penchant for introducing exotic Amazonian ingredients such as jambú, priprioca and tucupi to haute cuisine, Chef Alex Atala is spearheading the surging movement of new Brazilian cuisine with his two Michelin-starred D.O.M Restaurant. Derived from the acronym of the Latin phrase ‘Deo optimo maximo’, which means ‘To God, The Good, The Great’, Chef Atala changed the first word to ‘domus’ or home, which makes D.O.M Restaurant the home of the good and the great of Brazilian gastronomy. A feat he does very well, indeed, with inspired, expertly crafted dishes such as lightly toasted black rice with Brazil nut milk, pirarucu fish with açaí berry and heart-of-palm fettuccine. domrestaurante.com.br
