D.O.M.

A unique gastronomic proposal presented by Alex Atala, Brazil’s most internationally renowned chef, shows that, even immersed in various projects, he always has something to say. The experience takes shape in a single tasting menu inspired by the jaguar, the largest feline in the Americas, portrayed through the menu: “Quando a onça bebe água” [When the jaguar drinks water] (also available in a vegetarian version). The proposal transports us through the flavours of the country’s great natural areas, with a succession of little‑known ingredients (priprioca roots, yam, ants, jambu [Acmella], tucupi [fermented cassava broth]…), revealing surprising flavours and textures, worked with creativity and based on certain combinations from European culinary culture. In this modern, elegant setting, decorated with objects that converse with the concept on offer, you will find dishes such as Purê de Inhame (yam purée) with sea‑urchin cream and spirulina, the dessert Folha de louro (bay leaf) with chocolate and cupuaçu (Amazonian fruit similar to cacao)… Open your mind and let yourself be surprised!
