Oteque – Ideas, Principles, Recipes, Stories and Connections
Oteque is the debut book by chef Alberto Landgraf, chef and owner of the Michelin-starred restaurant Oteque in Rio de Janeiro. Located in Botafogo, the restaurant has repeatedly been listed among The World’s 50 Best Restaurants, and is regarded as one of Latin America’s most significant gastronomic destinations.
The book offers insight into Landgraf’s creative approach to modern Brazilian gastronomy. His cuisine combines international techniques with local Brazilian ingredients and a minimalist expression, with flavor, precision, and the origin of the ingredients at the center.
The content is structured around Landgraf’s core principles and brings together essays, recipes, and photography into a cohesive portrait of the restaurant and its philosophy. Each chapter opens with a text by food writer Andrea Petrini, who through interviews and stories describes Landgraf’s method, thoughts, and development as a chef.
The book also reflects the restaurant’s focus on sustainability and responsible agriculture. All recipes include a calculated CO₂ footprint, based on the same technology used in Oteque’s kitchen to reduce the restaurant’s overall environmental impact.
The photographs in the book combine images of Brazil’s nature and coastlines with portraits of Landgraf’s signature dishes. The result is a visual and culinary portrait of a cuisine where terroir, ingredient quality, and precision play a central role.
About the author
Alberto Landgraf is one of Latin America’s most influential chefs. Born in Brazil with German and Japanese heritage, he swapped his physics studies for gastronomy in his early twenties. After training in London and working with, among others, Tom Aikens and Gordon Ramsay, he returned to Brazil.
In 2011, he opened the restaurant Epice in São Paulo, and in 2018 he founded Oteque in Rio de Janeiro. Here he works with a modern fine-dining cuisine based on Brazilian ingredients and a minimalist gastronomic expression.
The book’s essays are written by Andrea Petrini, journalist and gastronomic critic as well as French chair of the jury for The World’s 50 Best Restaurants. The photographs are created by British photographer Robert Astley-Sparke.
