Tarso Restaurante

Fine dining in Brasília

Creativity, flavours and textures in a multi-course menu, renewed every three months.

Arrivals 7pm to 9pm · Asa Norte

The arrival

We welcome sixteen people a night

The house is small and works for few tables a night. That changes how much time the team has for each one, and it is what lets us lead the whole evening, from the first moment to the last.

The menu stays secret until service: each dish reveals itself as it reaches the table. The surprise is part of what you are coming for.

The dinner

One menu, two lengths

The menu is the same for the whole table, with no individual choice of dishes. You only decide between five or nine courses. That is what we call menu confiança.

Dietary restrictions and celebrations: tell us when you book, and we prepare the night in advance.

Menu Essencial
Five courses · R$ 690 per person
Menu Experiência
Nine courses · R$ 890 per person

Seasons

The menu changes completely every three months

There are four seasons a year. Three of them are entirely new, and those dishes do not come back afterwards.

The fourth falls around 23 June, the day the house opened. It is the only one where we revisit the dishes that marked the years before.

Next season

We write when the next one opens

If you could not find a date, leave your email. We write when reservations for the following season open. One message per season, nothing else.

Dishes

Past seasons

None of these is on the menu today. They show how we cook, without giving away what is coming.

To drink

The list

Labels from Brazil, the Americas and Europe, signature cocktails and alcohol-free options.

The wine journeys follow the menu course by course, served glass by glass. They are presented together with the menu, and the choice is yours.

Groups

Private events

We host private groups in the same format as always: menu confiança, the chef leading the night and a limited number of seats. It works for family celebrations and for company dinners.

What changes is that the night belongs to your group alone. We do not work with an imposed menu or with third-party structure in the dining room.
