Sheraton Grand Macao continues its tradition of authentic Italian cuisine with the latest Food & Wine Mercato, unveiling Valle d’Aosta as the new destination on November 24 and 25 at Bene. Valle d’Aosta is a winter sport heaven not only endowed with majestic peaks and natural wonders, but also renowned for its simple yet hearty cuisines with a dose of mountain flavors. Tucked away in the extreme northwest of Italy, this mountainous region is notable for its local specialties such as carbonada, mocetta, fontina as well as exemplary wines.
Tempting and inviting, Food & Wine Mercato is a monthly event that is inspired by the colorful markets of Italy. Curated by Luca Pecorari, the Executive Sous Chef of Bene, this month’s menu presents the best of Valle d’Aosta’s gastronomy including tortino di asparagi e fontina (orange marinated salmon trout carpaccio), crespelle alla valdostana (broiled crepes stuffed with mushrooms fontina cheese and ham) and arrosto di manzo (roasted beef rump, wine and truffle jus, forest mushrooms), all delicately complemented with premium wines.
The first of its kind in Macau, Bene Food & Wine Mercato is an innovative dining concept that explores different regions across Italy and celebrates a variety of gastronomic traditions and distinctive flavors. Sourcing from all over the country, Bene showcases Italy’s finest ingredients, artisanal products and handpicked wines. Delightful and interactive, the Food & Wine Mercato is hosted at Bene during the last weekend of every month.
Guests are encouraged to weave through the cooking stations among wine professionals and fresh food producers throughout the evening to get a real taste of Italy. Mercato also boasts a variety of artisanal retail products for sale allowing guests to recreate their favourite Italian dishes at home.
