For one week only flavours of Brazil is taking residence at the Intercontinental Park Lane, London, with an amazing menu devised by Brazilian chef Marcelo Pinheiro. The ingredients were flown from Brazil to make this a special dinning experience. The menu highlights some of the most famous Brazilian dishes and ingredients from all over Brazil.
The informal venue, The Cookbook Cafe, is located on the ground floor of the Intercontinental Park Lane, London. I am a fan of Intercontinental and I have been there many times over the years. The last gourmet event I attended was Flavours of Peru and Colombian Gourmet Festival.
Flavours of Brazil, started on the 5th November and it finishes on the 10th November, Sunday. Over the weekend I heard they will also be serving feijoada, Brazil’s national dish.
Buffet starts at £18/ head and it includes a variety of mini deserts, add a main course at lunch for an extra £7. Dinner from £25/head.
We started with the buffet salad, cold meats, fish, seafood and selection of cheeses
