Daniela Crowned Winner of MasterChef Brazil 2025

Daniela has been named champion of the 12th season of MasterChef Brazil. The lawyer overcame fellow finalist Felipe Bruzzi in the grand final, broadcast live from São Paulo on Tuesday September 2, and lifted the 2025 trophy.

To claim victory, the amateur cook had to present a full menu — starter, main course and dessert — to the programme’s panel of three judges. The final result was revealed live on Band television.

In an interview with Band, Daniela expressed her delight:

«It is wonderful. It is much more than I imagined it would be. It is fantastic, it is an achievement»

Felipe Bruzzi named runner-up

With Daniela’s triumph, Felipe Bruzzi secured second place in the 12th season of MasterChef. Speaking to Band, he said:

«Being runner-up is good, it is silver. We must celebrate that too. We made it this far against 17 competitors. I wanted to take the prize, but I am happy»

As runner-up, Felipe received a pâtisserie course at Le Cordon Bleu. «Perhaps I might become a pastry chef?», he joked. Despite the outcome, he insisted his career plans remain unchanged:

«I will continue in gastronomy just as I would if I had won, and things will come with time».
