In this restaurant there is a regular menu with consecrated Italian – French recipes, but also there is a Suggestions Menu. This is for those who like to try local ingredients and tecniques. It usually changes every month and brings new flavor opportunities to the restaurant clients.
One of the entree Suggestions is the Sun Dried Meat Carpaccio, very original recipe from the Northeast Region of Brazil and in this case the mature meat is made from the scratch at the Hotel. The thinly sliced meat is presented topped by chips of strong cheese and decorated with Black Garlic Pesto, a peculiar ingridient from a local supplier, that brings a slightly sweet’n smoked taste to the salted piece of meat, in an pleasurable balance.

As a main dish (open photo), Chef Frasson served a Fish Ballontine composed by Sole and Salmon. The taste contrast of the fishes, the Sole’s white meat and the more pronounced Salmon was the main feature of the dish. The soft texture of ballontine was confronted with the smoked company of grilled vegetables and aspargus. A meticulous recipe, with a noble presentation and a delicate taste.
In general, there are light and vegetarian options in the Suggestions Menu, according to Chef Frason. The meal was concluded with another French Cuisine Classic, Poire au Vin, light, bright and sensational! Very accurated execution presented with fresh fruits, including the exotic Phisalys, ice cream to refresh and a Gastronomic happy ending!
