The end of the first quarter is annually celebrated with a palette of new flavors from the preparation of fish and seafood from the sea and rivers of Esposende. Throughout the month of March, the art and mastery of the chefs from local dining establishments are celebrated, as they rediscover new flavors in traditional dishes with a contemporary twist. The restaurants dress up in their best attire to welcome diners, eager to taste new proposals, as they have already marked this event on their gastronomic calendar as a nearly sacred pilgrimage to the seaside restaurants. In this Land of the Sea, the art of cooking is cherished by all, as gastronomy and wines are recognized as one of the main motivations that attract tourists to this destination of excellence. As you navigate through the menu presented annually, you will surely notice some more “daring” dishes and others more familiar. It is a happy marriage between tradition and innovation.
