Renowned chef, Rafa Costa e Silva, is opening a new restaurant in Rio de Janeiro. Expected to open in July 2022, the premises will accept crypto payments.
The adoption of crypto assets is increasing in Rio de Janeiro, considered a hub for crypto companies. In addition to platforms, businesses like chef Rafa Costa e Silva’s new restaurant are driving the use of digital currencies.
Before announcing the new restaurant, Chef Rafa Costa e Silva ran Lasai. He will also lead the new premises focused on the crypto market.
Called Crypto Kitchen, the restaurant is the result of a great deal of research by the chef. He saw a huge potential in crypto assets that can be explored in the new business.
With one star in the Michelin guide, Rafa Costa e Silva has decided to open a restaurant focused on the crypto market in Leblon. The business will operate in the same building as a Brazilian crypto fund manager.
