style of his famed family with Brazilian twists he’s picked up since
expatriating to Rio de Janeiro. In fact, Plat Bleu’s bill of
fare borrows from Troisgros’ hugely popular CT Brasserie in Rio. This
means offerings such as onion soup gratinée, duck foie gras au torchon,
and mussels mariniéres alongside shrimp with guava barbecue sauce, a
pressed duck confit medianoche, and skirt steak with Brazilian sea salt

The restaurant is open from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. every night but
Friday and Saturday, when it promises to stay lively until 4:00 a.m.
