The story
1515 Rhinocerus in Nürnberg centers its Brazilian cuisine around the personal histories of head chef Viviane Zabold and pastry chef Simone Felgueiras. The duo structure their menu as a concise journey back to Rio de Janeiro, translating street level comfort into a refined setting. They manage every plate together, ensuring the pastry course aligns perfectly with the savory pacing.
Guests navigate a three to four course progression highlighting toasted cassava farofa and grilled picanha. These foundational items anchor the meal before shifting toward brigadeiros, which Simone Felgueiras adapts into a polished dessert finish. The kitchen keeps portions deliberate, allowing the natural sweetness of tropical elements to contrast with smoky grill notes in this Brazilian cooking tradition.
The restaurant earned two spoons from the 2026 Schlemmer Atlas for maintaining this precise balance between casual Brazilian origins and formal dining etiquette. Patrons experience the setup through intimate tables and an open flow that suits both quiet dinners and curated events. The space reflects the chefs commitment to letting the cooking speak for itself.
