Maguje in Rio de Janeiro: Is it worth it? Prices, View of Christ and How to Pay Half with Duo Gourmet
Maguje Rio de Janeiro is the kind of restaurant that surprises with its rare combination of beautiful views, sophisticated ambience and really well-executed food. Located inside the Jockey Club, in Jardim Botânico, it delivers a complete gastronomic experience – whether for a special dinner, an unforgettable Mother’s Day or even that post-theater meal at the PRIO Theater that calls for something to match.
We went on two different occasions and both times we came away with the same feeling: it’s so worth it. And the best thing? We used the Duo Gourmet and paid half price for the main dishes, which completely transformed the cost-benefit ratio of the experience.
In this complete guide, you’ll see up-to-date prices, the 2026 menu, when to go, what to order, whether it really pays and how to save money without sacrificing quality.

Our experience at Maguje (Mother’s Day + after theater)
We went to Maguje on two different occasions:
- On a Mother’s Day
- At dinner after a play at the PRIO Theater**
And I’ll tell you right now: it was a great choice in both situations.
The atmosphere is sophisticated without being stiff. It has the energy of a modern gastrobar, but with an absurd view of Christ the Redeemer and Jockey Lake.
And the best thing: we used the Duo Gourmet and paid half price for the main courses.
This completely changes the cost-benefit ratio.
