The “CT” stands for Claude Troisgros, Rio’s most famous French chef who came to Brazil more than 30 years ago. Hs flagship restaurant, Olympe, has been blowing customers away for years, but CT Boucherie is a more recent addition to his collection of Rio of eateries. As the name suggests, CT Boucherie is all about the meat, and this is arguably the best meat you’ll find in Rio. The Prime Rib Especial is a beautiful piece of beef on the bone. The unlimited ‘rodizio’ of mouth-watering accompaniments turns the notorious Brazilian barbecue model on its head in the best possible way.
