Brazilian Long Lunch

Overview

The seldom mentioned cuisine of Brazil will be one of the main attractions of this year's Auckland Restaurant Month. The lengthy lunch held at Besos Latinos will be stretched across four hours with Brazilian chef Elaine Bozza at the helm serving an authentic menu from the motherland.

Featured dishes include: feijoada - a stew of beans with beef and pork, pão de queijo - a small, baked cheese roll, coxinhas - a fried street food that is formed into the shape of its core filling ingredient, pastel de carne - a traditional baked meatloaf, brigadier - a Brazilian chocolate bonbon, and manjar - a combination of caramelized sugar and condensed milk.

The buffet style meal will be accompanied with free-flowing caipirinhas and the sounds of a live bossa nova and samba band.
