Hotel Santa Teresa MGallery welcomes 2026 with a signature dinner, live art, music and breathtaking views of Rio de Janeiro.
New Year’s Eve with art and live music
In the hills of Santa Teresa, Hotel Santa Teresa MGallery celebrates the New Year with an evening of art, music and haute cuisine. The harmonized dinner is signed by chefs Luanna Malheiros and Jérôme Dardillac. In addition, artist Jérôme Poignard paints live watercolors, offered as gifts to guests.
While the piano sets the mood, the hotel enhances its atmosphere of elegance and celebration. In this way, the property becomes a sophisticated retreat for the turn of the year. The view over Rio de Janeiro completes the scene.
Décor inspired by Transformative Teal
The night’s décor is inspired by Transformative Teal, a blend of deep blue and aquatic green. The shade symbolizes transformation, balance and well-being. Moreover, it reflects the search for conscious lifestyle and consumption changes.
The concept translates harmony between elegance, serenity and connection with nature. These values define the essence of MGallery. Thus, the visual identity of the party reinforces the hotel’s sophisticated spirit.
Signature menu with Brazilian influence
Served at two seatings, 7 p.m. and 10 p.m., the dinner offers a signature menu that blends sophistication and Brazilian flavors. The experience begins with a basket of artisanal breads. Then, guests enjoy coffee butter as accompaniment.
Starters explore contrasts and textures. Options include scallops with pitaya sour cream and coconut water emulsion. There is also veal medallion with grana padano meringue and honey from the Brazilian cerrado or pupunha ravioli with tangerine reduction, hibiscus and cilantro tempura.
Main courses and memorable desserts
Main courses pay tribute to contemporary gastronomy. Highlights include duck confit with figs in balsamic caramel, puy lentil ragout and wine sauce. Another option is VG shrimp with smoked corn cream, sweet bacon farofa and land-and-sea asparagus.
For vegetarian guests, the menu offers a tofu sphere with colorful tomatoes, purple basil and nut sauce. To finish, three desserts stand out. The choices are cashew textures, a vegan Bûche de Noël and the elegant Chococherry.
The cashew dessert combines mousse, compote, biscuit and cashew nut praline. The vegan Bûche de Noël brings together coconut, pineapple and mint. Meanwhile, Chococherry layers cocoa meringue, chocolate cream, mousse and cherry gel.
The entire experience is paired with a harmonized beverage menu. Sparkling wine and selected labels accompany each stage. Therefore, every detail reinforces the care dedicated to the celebration.
Pool deck party and countdown
After dinner, the celebration continues at the pool deck from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. The space offers cocktails and premium beverages. Meanwhile, the Jazz Colado band performs live.
The panoramic view of Rio lights up the countdown to 2026. From midnight on, DJ Doni takes over. He turns the moment into pure celebration, with cocktails and a special drink created to toast the New Year.
“We want this New Year’s Eve to be remembered for the harmony between art, flavor and emotion. Every detail was designed so our guests can experience a unique night, surrounded by beauty, good music and a gastronomy that celebrates the best of Brazil with touches of French cuisine.”
