Estrella Damm Culinary Tour extended until November 30th
The four-year-old program, which has been extended to November 30, highlights the culinary talents of chefs in St John-Dade and Broward counties who pair their cuisine with one of Barcelona’s most popular beers. Over the next few weeks, restaurant-goers will be able to choose from a wide range of curated tasting menus at special prices, all of which are paired with Estrella Damm, which has been brewed in Barcelona since 1876. A total of 50 restaurants in both countries have registered to take part. Some present a special dish, others offer a multi-course menu. This year, diners can order anything from reuben and pastrami croquetas, which are served with bang bang and horseradish aioli at Kush by Stephen’s for $ 12, to a three-course meal at Ariete for $ 65. Other restaurants include Bulla Gastrobar, La Fresa Francesca and R House. For a full list of participating restaurants and matching dishes, please visit estrelladammjourney.com.
